I am not sure what you mean when you instructed your attorney to do "both things at once." Certainly, negotiations continue even while a trial date is pending.
If you wish to have a trial at the earliest opportunity, you must make a speedy trial demand. As hearings are agreed upon and scheduled, speedy trial is generally waived. Under the Rules of Criminal Procedure 11.10, after an omnibus hearing where the defendant enters a plea of non guilty, hey may be tried as soon as possible, or, on n demand made in writing or orally on the record by the prosecuting attorney or the defendant, the trial shall be commenced within sixty (60) days from the date of the demand unless good cause is shown upon the prosecuting attorney's or the defendant's motion or upon the court's initiative why the defendant should not be brought to trial within that period.
