[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Role/Position] [Name of Court] [Court's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: [Case Number] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to request a continuance of the trial date for the above-mentioned case. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation. As you may recall, the trial is currently scheduled to take place on [Original Trial Date]. However, due to unforeseen circumstances and upon consultation with all parties involved, it is necessary to request a continuance of the trial date. This request is made in accordance with [cite applicable court rule or local practice]. We believe that a continuance is warranted for several valid reasons. Firstly, our lead counsel, [Attorney's Name], who has been diligently preparing and representing our client's interests, unexpectedly suffered a family emergency. This unforeseen situation has rendered him unavailable during the scheduled trial period. We kindly request the court's understanding and leniency in granting this continuance to allow for his proper representation. Furthermore, upon reviewing the exhibits provided by the opposing party during the discovery process, we have identified additional evidence that necessitates further examination and analysis by our expert witnesses. This analysis and subsequent report will significantly strengthen our case and, ultimately, contribute to a fair and just trial. Granting this continuance will enable us to adequately prepare and present this crucial evidence, promoting a comprehensive understanding of the matter at hand. It is essential to note that all parties involved, including opposing counsel, have been consulted regarding this request for continuance. We have cooperatively discussed the circumstances of our request, and all parties have expressed their agreement on the need for an extension to the trial date. In light of the aforementioned circumstances and the agreement of all parties involved, we kindly request that the trial date be rescheduled to a date that is convenient for the court, opposing counsel, and ourselves. We propose a new trial date of [Proposed New Trial Date]. We assure the court that this requested continuance will not unduly delay the proceedings and that we remain dedicated to resolving this matter expeditiously. Furthermore, we understand the court's busy schedule and appreciate your attention to this matter. Attached to this letter, you will find a proposed order for the continuance of the trial date. We kindly request that the court review and sign the order if our request is granted. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or via email at [Your Email Address]. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name]
