It is crucial that we carefully review and respond to these requests in a timely manner, as failure to do so may have negative consequences for your case. In accordance with the rules of civil procedure in South Dakota, we are required to provide a written response to each of the requests for admissions. This response should admit, deny, or state that we are unable to admit or deny the requested admission, with a brief explanation for the latter. It is essential that our responses are accurate and supported by the evidence available to us. To ensure a comprehensive and well-prepared response, we will need your cooperation and input.
