If you have been in custody on charges for 7 months, that means either you or your attorney 'waived time' for speedy trial in order to delay things for some reason. It is almost guaranteed that is what happened. If the court record shows that time was NOT waived, then you have grounds for a dismissal and release motion. If you are sure of that, and are serious about hiring an attorney to do so, feel free to contact me.
