It is impossible to say until the litigation is underway, and even then all estimates are that, just estimates, which are subject to change. For example, Starr Austen & Miller have handled class cases that were resolved within one year and have also handled cases that lasted three years or more. There are many factors which can lengthen this time period even further, such as the complexity of the case, the number of parties, defendant’s interest in getting the case settled, any appeals, etc.
Starr Austen & Miller keeps in contact with all clients with regard to the status of the case as it progresses through the legal process. This allows clients to be aware of what is going on in their case, and also to know what is upcoming in their matter.
