Rhode Island Criminal Defense Lawyer

Q. How long will it take before my case is over?

A. You have the right to a speedy trial, but it is normally best to waive this right. Six months is the average time needed to resolve most criminal cases. By waiving the right to a speedy trial, you give your attorneys more time to prepare properly for your trial. More preparation time means that they will be able to present your side of the story better.
