Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Request for an Extension of Time to File an Answer Pending Party Negotiation Dear [Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. My name is [Your Name], and I am writing in my capacity as the attorney representing [Your Client's Name] in the matter of [Case Name/Number], which is currently pending in [Court Name]. I am reaching out to you to request a brief extension of time to file our answer to the complaint, given the ongoing negotiations between our clients. As you may be aware, Maine law promotes the settlement of disputes, and it is in this spirit that both parties have expressed a keen interest in engaging in negotiations in the hopes of reaching a fair and reasonable resolution to this matter. We believe that pursuing a collaborative approach through negotiations would save valuable court resources and time, all while attempting to preserve a cooperative relationship between our clients. In recognition of this mutual interest in resolving the matter amicably, we have been actively engaging in discussions with the opposing party, exploring potential settlement options and compromises. Although progress has been made, both parties still require additional time to fully explore all potential avenues for resolution. In light of the above, we respectfully request an extension of [number of days/months] to file our answer to the complaint. This additional time will allow us to continue our negotiations and will hopefully result in a mutually satisfactory resolution. We assure you that we take this matter seriously and shall submit our answer promptly as soon as the negotiations are complete or if no settlement is reached within the extended timeframe. We believe that this request aligns with the principles of judicial efficiency, fairness, and the court's strong encouragement of parties to explore alternative dispute resolution methods. Granting this extension would serve the interests of all parties involved and foster a more harmonious resolution of the case. I kindly request your cooperation in this matter. If you have any concerns or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this request with you and address any issues promptly. Thank you for your attention to this important matter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm/Organization Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Date]
