may only last about 40 minutes, but a lawsuit can take months. A murder case? Well, that can even take years before the case is officially closed. In an episode of these popular television shows, the murder case, trial, and conviction can all take place in under an hour. Because of this, audiences start to falsely believe legal matters are resolved much faster than they are. Once they come to our office for legal help, many people need clarification about why it's taking so long!

While you can get lucky with simple and short cases, be aware that you may be in for the long run. The legal process can’t be rushed, unfortunately. Paperwork, back-and-forth communication, and typical delays can make any case last longer than you think.
