Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What are good reasons to ask for a continuance?

A continuance is a court-approved delay of a scheduled hearing or trial. Acceptable reasons often include illness, unavailability of key witnesses, new evidence discovery, or attorney scheduling conflicts. Courts require timely requests, usually in writing, explaining the reason and impact on the case.

Can I file a continuance without a lawyer?

Yes, you can. Courts allow people to represent themselves, and that includes filing motions like a request for a continuance. This is totally normal and completely legal. Its called appearing pro se, and judges see it all the time.

How to file a continuance in Florida?

Requests to continue any court proceedings must be done by filing a motion. You can file the motion yourself, or if you have an attorney, he/she will file the motion for you. Arraignments can be continued only one time without judge approval and must be done two days prior to your court date.

What is a good cause for continuance in Florida?

➢ Reasonable continuances may be granted, as necessary, for: investigation; discovery; procuring counsel or witnesses.

How do you request a continuance?

For most requests for continuances, you must provide the judge with a suitable reason (good cause) for postponing your court date. Good cause means a very good reason for not being able to get ready for your case or go to your hearing on the schedule date.
