How Long Will My Case Take?
One of the Most Asked Questions is "How Long" Will the Court Process Take?
The court process can take months or years, depending on the jurisdiction. Your attorney should know the best ways to get your case set for trial as soon as possible wherever the suit is filed. While many cases and individual defendants settle before, your lawyer should always be prepared to go to trial. Naturally, that time range is subject to fluctuation, depending upon the facts of each case.
