The timeline for a case varies significantly based on the complexity of the charges. A misdemeanor may be resolved in a few months, while a complex felony could take a year or more. Under Florida's "Speedy Trial" rules, the state generally has 90 days for misdemeanors and 175 days for felonies to bring a case to trial, though these limits are often waived by the defense to allow for a more thorough investigation.
