Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of my client, [Your Name], regarding the pending lawsuit [Case Number] against [Opposite Party]. We have recently engaged in negotiations with the opposing party in hopes of reaching a settlement agreement. Therefore, I am requesting a delay in providing our answer to the complaint until these negotiations are completed. As you are aware, Arkansas law provides for a period of time within which a defendant must file an answer after being served with a complaint. However, parties in a lawsuit can mutually agree to extend the deadline for submitting an answer to allow for negotiation and possible resolution without court intervention. This process promotes efficiency and cost-effectiveness by encouraging parties to explore settlement before proceeding with litigation. In our case, we firmly believe that reaching a settlement agreement through negotiation would be in the best interests of both parties involved. Our client understands the value of resolving the matter amicably, rather than engaging in protracted litigation which can be time-consuming, expensive, and emotionally draining. To facilitate this process, we kindly request that you agree to a limited delay in filing an answer to the complaint. By granting this extension, we can focus our efforts on meaningful negotiation and potentially reach a resolution that satisfies both our clients. This approach would not only save time and resources for the parties involved but also alleviate the burden on the court system. Please note that this request for delay in answering the complaint pending party negotiation does not seek to unduly delay the proceedings or to extend the statute of limitations. We acknowledge the importance of diligently pursuing this case. The purpose of this extension is solely to explore the possibility of a mutually acceptable resolution and avoid unnecessary litigation. We propose extending the deadline for filing an answer by [proposed duration] from the original date. If you agree to this extension, we commit to promptly inform the court and provide a copy of the settlement agreement, if reached, along with our answer within the extended timeframe. We believe that granting this extension request would serve the interests of justice, fairness, and the expeditious resolution of this matter. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your positive response. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Phone Number] [Email Address] [Keywords: Arkansas Sample Letter to Attorney Opposite, Delay of Answer, Party Negotiation, Case Number, Settlement Agreement, Lawsuit, Opposite Party, Mutual Agreement, Court Intervention, Litigation, Efficiency, Cost-effectiveness, Resolving the Matter Amicably, Filing an Answer, Extension Request, Statute of Limitations, Expeditious Resolution]
