Filing Motion For Extension
Summary
Filing a motion for an extension in Pennsylvania involves drafting the motion, explaining the reason, including relevant case information, proposing a new deadline, and filing it with the court. You typically draft the motion yourself, but check if your court requires a specific form. If the opposing partys attorney is unresponsive, note your attempts to contact them in the motion. Consider using a template to ensure all necessary details are included.Full Conversation
