In misdemeanor cases, if you do not waive your right to a speedy trial, the trial will generally occur within 30 days of the arrest for those in custody and 45 days for those who aren't. Although your attorney can appear at trial without you on non-domestic violence misdemeanors unless required by the judge, most defendants want the jury to see them participating and present for their own trial.
In felony cases, if you do not waive your right to a speedy trial, the trial will generally be scheduled within 60 days of the post-preliminary hearing arraignment. All felony cases and misdemeanor cases involving domestic violence require the defendant to appear in person.
