F.A.Q. > Information about Thomas Luikens and his legal services > How long does a typical civil court case take to be completed in Maricopa County, Arizona?
Every lawsuit is unique and multiple factors control how quickly or slowly a court case is completed, depending on:
- issues,
- number of parties,
- whether a legal case or issue is given priority by court rules or statutory law,
- what relief is requested,
- whether arbitration is mandatory, available as an option, or unavailable according to court rules or Arizona statute,
- the court system (U.S. District, Superior Court, a Justice Court or municipal court) assigned by the government or chosen by the Plaintiff, availability of court or judicial resources, whether a jury trial is requested by any party, and
- other factors that may materially affect estimation of time required to achieve adjudication by a court.
