How long will my case take?
Each case is unique. A particular case can take anywhere from several days to several years. In rare instances, a case can last even longer. An important factor is the complexity of the case and the quality of your attorney. Additionally, some insurance companies are notorious for refusing to provide reasonable offer until after suit is filed or even just before trial. When confronted with these companies, your attorney’s ability to prepare your case for trial is critical. The idea is to convince the insurance company they have more to lose at trial than with a settlement. If they continue to provide a low ball offer, your attorney must posses the knowledge, skill and experience to prove the insurance company wrong at trial.

The government has up to one year to file misdemeanor charges and up to seven years to file felony charges (and even longer on certain cases). Once filed, a misdemeanor case can take two to six months to resolve and a felony case can take much longer. Of course, every case is different and we understand how difficult the ″waiting game″ can be, however, it is important that your case is thoroughly investigated and analyzed so that you can make the best decisions possible with the most information possible.
