Re: Domsetic violence
There is no set timetable in a criminal action, especially under these circumstances. The statute of limitations to prosecute a misdemeanor is 2 years (with some exceptions).
What do you mean by 'working on dropping the charges'? You can file an affidavit of non-prosecution with the ADA, but that is no guarantee that the charges will be dropped. That decision is made by the prosecutor. Does your girlfriend have a lawyer? If not, she should.
