What is the normal waiting period for a DUI court date?

This sounds pretty typical. The government often takes their time with charging. From there, the court calendars are very clogged up so court dates are commonly scheduled out a couple months. Your husband should get an experienced DWI attorney retained if he hasn't already.

It's not unusual. Scheduling often varies by county, and type of court appearance. A person charged with a DWI crime normally also gets a notice of administrative revocation of drivers license. This must be challenged within 30 days (plus some days if mailed) by filing a Petition for Judicial Review with the court. He should retain a DWI defense lawyer as soon as possible to help protect his interests and rights.

Your information indicates that you are in St. Paul. If your husband's incident happened in St. Paul, then this sequence of events is very typical. I have a few DWI cases in St. Paul right now and they all had similar delays.

Hello. Time delays for court appearances can and do vary. As stated, your spouse is in need of attorney counsel and representation.

It is not unusual and the charges are well within the statutory limitation period. Such delays often happen when the alcohol test performed is a blood or urine test. Remember, he has only a limited period of time to contest any license revocation which runs from the date he receives a notice of revocation. This is a separate and distinct action from the criminal case. he should retain counsel immediately.

This schedule seems typical. Often different counties may take a little more time than others, but 1-2 months between court dates is nothing unusual.
