If you are charged with a crime, the best possible outcome in your case is to have the charges against you dismissed. The legal term for this is “nolle prosequi,” which literally means “not pursued.” This is essentially a dismissal of the charges.
It is important to note that if a prosecutor decides to do this, they can bring the charges back against you in the future if they decide to pursue them later (subject to the statute of limitations). This is a key difference between a nolle prosequi and an acquittal at trial. If you are acquitted at trial, that is the end of your case and the charges can never be brought back.
At The Turner Firm, we pursue a dismissal of all charges against our clients and we are not afraid to take a case to trial if it is in the best interests of our clients. Call us today and discuss how to beat your case.
