How long will it take to resolve my case?

The amount of time required to resolve a criminal case varies from case to case due to several factors, including the offense, the Judge, the prosecutor, whether you are free on bond, the number of people involved, whether the media is covering the case, and the complexity of the case. Each of these factors may affect the amount of time that it will take to resolve your criminal charges.

Most criminal cases begin long before your first appearance in court. The police may begin working on a case for weeks or months before the district attorney accepts the charge against you. If you are aware of any investigation against you or a family member, you should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately to protect your rights and preserve your defense.

With over 11 years of experience in Texas, our Firm understands that a successful defense should never be rushed. Our clients gain nothing by rushing through the case and trying to resolve it as soon as possible. In most cases, you are not rewarded for resolving the charges quickly, as the goal is to receive the best result, not a fast result. Considering the outcome of your case may affect the rest of your life, and you only have one chance to get it right, it is extremely important to be patient. Some cases, especially serious felony matters, take an extraordinary amount of time to investigate and resolve.

The Westbrook Law Firm, PLLC, always devotes the necessary time and attention to every case. To discuss your case in full detail, please call our office at (281) 888-5581.
