Hi, I was pulled over for a dwi on 03-23-08 I obtained a lawyer and we went to the intial hearing (I think it's called adjuication) 2 weeks later. My lawyer then said to call him in 2-3 weeks for an update. Well I called him 3 times and he never got back to me. Now it's been 5 months and he calls to tell me I am to be indicted this Wednsday 06-03-08! We are almost to the 6 month speedy trail thing and I was wondering is there anything that could be done to postpone this indictment so that I reach the 6 months and have this dismissed? I'm considering hiring a new lawyer, if the new lawyer needed more time to review the case would that count?
 
It seems to me that if your side is the one that is delaying, than the 6 month things doesn't count. . . but I have no idea what the 6 month thing is.

And please tell what state are you in?

Good Luck to you.
