You can ask, but you might not obtain an answer for several reasons:
(1) your case is in the early stages;
(2) the court load prevents a true estimate;
(3) there are pending motions; or
(4) etc.
I know people want to move forward to trial as fast as possible. However, being patient will definitely be a virtual as courts caseload grow and budgets are cut.
