For those in custody (inmates held at the county jail), a criminal case must go to trial in 120 days unless a few things happen, one of which is moving for a continuance.  In this podcast we cover why a lawyer might move for a continuance and what it means for when your case will be resolved or go to trial.  We will also explore how the rules are slightly different if you are not in custody (in other words, you have posted bail or where provided a notice to appear).  By listening to this podcast episode you will become informed on what you can expect as we navigate the halls of justice together.  If you are looking for information, this podcast episode will help familiarize you with the legal process.  Please be aware that this podcast should not be considered legal advice.  This is informational only, no different that reading about a law firm's services on a website.  There is nothing about this podcast that should imply an attorney-client relationship exists.  You will need to specifically retain legal services.  You should not solely rely on anything you hear on this podcast.  There is no substitute for legal advice you have received from your lawfully retained attorney.  If you want to retain this law firm, please contact us at 309-839-2024 or visit us on the web at www.srtriallawyers.com.
