No. The amount of time needed for a criminal case depends on the complexity of the case. A minor charge, such as a simple misdemeanor, may only take a few weeks or a month. A felony charge, however, may take several months or can last a year. Keep in mind that, if the prosecutor makes a reasonable plea offer early in the legal process, then the case may come to a conclusion much earlier than it would if the case went to trial.
