What is the Time Frame of a Speedy Trial?
If you have been charged with a DUI and have decided to fight your charge in DUI court, you have the right to a speedy trial. Most states have laws that define the term “speedy” by setting a timeline for the start of a DUI trial after your arrest. However, because there are different interpretations of a reasonable time period, it is typically determined by the circumstances surrounding the case and if there were objective reasons for any delay. A DUI lawyer can help ensure that you are granted a speedy trial.
