Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Judge's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a continuance for the court date scheduled for [date]. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to attend this hearing and ask for your consideration in rescheduling it to the earliest possible date. I understand the importance of attending court proceedings and regret any inconvenience caused by this request. However, I firmly believe that a continuance is necessary to ensure a fair and just trial. The reasons for seeking a continuance are as follows: 1. Medical Emergency: I have recently encountered a severe medical emergency that requires immediate attention and ongoing treatment. The situation has significantly affected my physical and emotional well-being, making it impossible for me to adequately prepare for and appear in court. 2. Lack of Legal Representation: Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, I have been unable to secure legal representation for this case. Without professional advice and guidance, I would be at a severe disadvantage when presenting my case. Requesting a continuance would allow me sufficient time to explore options for legal representation. 3. Important Witness Unavailability: One of my key witnesses, [Name], recently informed me that they will be out of the country starting from [date]. [Name] possesses vital information that would greatly contribute to the resolution of this case. Rescheduling the court date would give us the opportunity to present this crucial testimony. I assure you that I am not intentionally delaying this process and genuinely desire a prompt resolution. I understand the court's commitment to timely justice, which is why I kindly request your understanding and consideration regarding this matter. If granted a continuance, I propose the earliest available court date that aligns with the schedule of the court and all involved parties. I am more than willing to cooperate and accommodate any alternative dates that work best for the court's calendar. Please find attached the necessary medical documentation and witness statement to support my request. I remain dedicated to resolving this matter and appreciate your attention to the complexities that have arisen. If additional information is required, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you for your time, understanding, and consideration. I look forward to a favorable response regarding my request. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
