A: Not necessarily. Many cases are settled or resolved before a formal court hearing is necessary. Prior to a hearing, we will enter negotiations with the opposing side and weigh the pros and cons of the increased costs of a formal hearing versus a settlement. If a settlement is not reached, then you will be fully prepared to enter court and answer any questions while being actively counseled and represented during the entire hearing.
A: Every case is different. The complexity of your case, the court’s schedule, the response time of the opposing side are simply a few factors which determine the final resolution date of your case. We will work hard to resolve your case within a reasonable time and keep you fully informed of your case throughout the process.
