How long does it take to go to court? |
I have one for a real estate dispute ($10K in damages) but my lawyer is super slow on setting a court date. He is trying to settle but the guy I am suing is not responding. Is it normal for claims to take months or should I get another lawyer. Normal is a couple of years. There's real time, and there's legal time Settling your claim in a few months would be an abnormality. Usually takes more than a year unless the opposing party is willing to settle. For criminal trials you have a right to a speedy trial, but not in a civil case so many times civil cases get pushed to the back burner, and discovery can take a great amount of time. months, years, decades. There is no standard answer. In general, settlement is better than a trial. Going to trial without adequate preparation is the worst option. I would call a few different attorneys, pick their brains, and see where I stand. Yes, some attorney are like snails, but if you trust this guy, then by all mean stay with him, sometime a bird in the hand... Months is not unusual, especially if the other party either does not cooperate, or deliberately delays. It can take a long time depending on the complexity of the case. some take years and years. My attorney took 8 months to even begin talks - so it's normal. |
