Sample Letter to Attorney requesting Update in Court Case

It is always important to keep a tab on your legal cases pending in a court of law or in any other legal forums. Sometimes the lawyer may forget to update you on the case; this may lead to a problematic situation under certain circumstances.

Write a letter to your lawyer enquiring about the case status or you can even write an email regarding this. You can also call over the phone directly to find out the status.

It is advisable that you seek the information in writing by letter or email, so that the lawyer can provide the information after finding out the status and once given in writing he will not be able to deny it later.

Following samples of letters are for your reference. Make necessary changes.
