Re: 487 c

There is no particular limit. However, you can withdraw your waiver of time and speed up the process. You should discuss this with your attorney. Pushing a matter to trial is not always the best procedure.

Pac 487 can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. as a felony the maximum sentence is 3 years, unless there are enhancements that add to the maximum sentence.
