Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a continuance for [case name], which is scheduled for [hearing date] at [court name]. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I believe that a continuance is necessary to ensure a fair and just resolution to this matter. Firstly, I would like to bring to your attention the recent change in my legal representation. My previous attorney had to withdraw from the case last week due to personal reasons. As a result, I have hired a new attorney who needs additional time to familiarize themselves with the details and intricacies of the case. This change in counsel has understandably caused a delay in the timeline of my preparations. Moreover, it has come to my attention that crucial evidence, which can potentially have a significant impact on the outcome of this case, has recently surfaced. I believe that this evidence is essential to present a stronger defense and provide a more accurate representation of the facts. However, due to its late discovery, I require additional time to analyze and incorporate it into my defense strategy effectively. Additionally, as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there have been disruptions in obtaining necessary documentation and scheduling meetings with relevant parties, such as witnesses and experts. These unexpected delays have hindered my ability to gather all the required evidence and prepare adequately for the upcoming hearing within the given timeframe. I assure you that I am fully committed to resolving this case efficiently and effectively. However, I believe that a continuance is crucial in order to ensure that both parties have a fair opportunity to present their arguments and evidence in court. In light of the circumstances described above, I kindly request a continuance for [case name]. I propose a new hearing date of [desired date], allowing sufficient time for my new attorney to become familiar with the case, for the discovery and analysis of the newly found evidence, and to overcome any hurdles caused by the ongoing pandemic. I apologize for any inconvenience this request may cause, but I am confident that a continuance is necessary for the administration of justice and to guarantee a fair resolution to this case. Furthermore, I would appreciate the court's consideration and due diligence in reviewing this motion. Thank you for your understanding and attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me or my attorney should you require any further information. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
