How Long Will My Criminal Case Last?

Many factors come into play when determining how long your criminal case will last. For instance, how complex the matter is, your criminal history, the county in which you were charged, and if it is a misdemeanor or a felony are all considerations when determining how long your criminal case will take.

The complexity of a case will affect how long it takes. A simple misdemeanor might be resolved within a few weeks or a few months, while a felony case might last for several months or over a year. If the prosecution makes a reasonable plea offer early in the process or there are some motions to exclude evidence. the case will end much sooner than if it goes to trial.

In some cases, we have been able to get the charges dropped within 48-hours of the arrest.  Contact My DUI Guy, a Division of Ancient City Law today to discuss your case.
