Request a Free Motion for Extension of Time
Facing a Florida consumer debt or foreclosure case and need additional time to understand your options?
Juris Firm Chartered provides eligible Florida consumers with a customized motion they may use to ask the court for additional time to respond, review their rights, gather documents, or consult with an attorney.There is no charge to request the motion.
Submitting a request does not file a document with the court, extend a deadline, postpone a hearing, guarantee that an extension will be granted, or create an attorney-client relationship.

The Process
How It Works
- 01
Tell Us About the Case
Provide the court, case number, parties, deadline, and basic case details.
- 02
The Submission Is Reviewed
Juris Firm Chartered reviews whether the request appears to fall within the scope of the free service.
- 03
Receive the Document
If accepted, you receive a customized motion and general next-step instructions.
- 04
Sign, File, and Serve
You remain responsible for signing, filing, and serving the motion unless the firm agrees in writing to handle those tasks.
The court — not the firm or this website — decides whether additional time will be granted.
Legal Deadlines Can Arrive Quickly
Consumers are sometimes required to respond to a lawsuit before they have had a meaningful opportunity to review the allegations, collect records, understand their rights, or speak with counsel.
Juris Firm Chartered offers this resource to help eligible Florida consumers make a clear request for additional time.
