This forum is not for the solicitation of business, basically. It is for simple legal questions, yours is quite complex.

How? By hiring an attorney or a large firm for this, if you even have a case.

That depends upon how crowded the court docket is and a number of other factors, but usually, it does not take all that long, a few months perhaps. Speak with you own attorney about this instead of asking strangers on the internet.

You asked this question nearly a year ago, and part of the problem is that we do not know what you are talking about. When you have a legal problem it is always best to go see and pay for a private attorney.
It is a civil rights case however the presiding Judge has no background history. No cultural affiliation, advocacy or rulings favorable to multicultural americans.
