This past September I was visiting a friend at Ball State in Muncie, IN and when I was there I received a Minor Consumption of Alcohol ticket after I had been drinking. I hired an attorney after it happened, but it is now January, almost February, and my attorney says the prosecutor still has not filed my case. So, my question is do you think it will get filed at all, since it's been about 120 days since I got it?

Four months ago at Ball State University in Muncie, IN you were charged with the offense of Minor Consumption of Alcohol and were given a Summon and Promised to Appear in Court. So far nothing and you're hoping it will just go away. Unfortunately it is not uncommon for matters like this to take several months to get scheduled for court due to the volume of cases and staff limitations of the clerk of court where your matter will be scheduled. Hiring an attorney early on will insure that your rights are protected and that you'll be advised of what is happening in your matter along the way. Stay in touch with your attorney and listen to his or her advice.
