Wake County District Court Judge Dan Nagle Retiring!

To the citizens of Wake County:

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you as one of your district court judges. Effective 2/1/2022, after 9 years on the bench, I have decided to retire and “go fishing.” I truly appreciate the faith and support you have given in electing me in 2012 and re-electing me in 2016 and 2020.

I love my job, and I will miss working with my fellow judges, the assistant district attorneys, the defense attorneys, and the support staff at the Wake County Courthouse and Justice Centers.

I am not for sure where this ship will sail next, but it is time.
