It depends on the nature of the allegation. Most misdemeanors in Tarrant County take 9-12 months to be resolved. Our firm is known for being proactive so we often resolve cases quicker but we won't sacrifice the right outcome for speed. Felony cases take longer. Similarly, it is going to take longer to get to trial than enter a plea in an appropriate case, so the trajectory of the case also impacts the timeline.

On average, criminal cases in Tarrant County take one to two years to reach a resolution. The proactive efforts our firm makes often leads to resolutions in three to four months, but we won’t sacrifice the possibility of a better result for speed. Federal cases, on the other hand, move faster and take 4-6 months to resolve generally.
