Q: How to file a motion to speed up my charges
I was arrested in September and still have not gone to court
A: Fie a Speedy Trial motion, You may want to hire a lawyer before you file a speedy trial request,
Kiele Linroth Pace agrees with this answer
A: I agree and would add that if you file it in the form of a notice of invocation of rights then, unlike a motion, it doesn't require the judge to sign it... on the other hand sometimes you want the judge to know and this gives you an excuse... your attorney will be able to get the lay of the land and suggest the right direction.
