The lawyer usually doesn t meet up with the prosecutor until the day of trial right before your preliminary hearing. That s how they do... and they won t usually meet with you until then also at the courthouse. I don t know why but that s how it works. I work in the field. See it everyday.
That all depends on how much you are paying your lawyer. First of all they don t meet on the date of the trial, they do in general meet before that at a preliminary trial (if it is going to that) or even earlier when your lawyer, the judge, and the crown rendez-vous in a courtroom themselves (or a judges chambers) and the crown would inform your lawyer what they are offering you if you plead guilty, or what they would ask for if you plead not guilty. Really, the prosecutor s are always booked and so are lawyers. But when you pay your lawyer well he does his work well. In general it s a minimum of one or two weeks, anything past that is generally excessive. It could be that your lawyer is taking matters in his own hands and wishes to wait a bit to see if anything else unfolds. Without further details I cannot give you a better answer.
