There is no right, nor is there any limit to the number of postponements. Each one is a question of "good cause" for the judge. I have had to go to trial on the first date, and I have had to wait two years. You should be ready to proceed to trial or negotiate a plea agreement. However, if the state requests postponement and the judge denies it, then it may be a lucky day. I offer a free initial consultation.
