Emergency Motions

Emergency motions are urgent legal requests made to a court when immediate action is needed to prevent harm or address a critical situation. These motions allow a party to seek a quick decision without the usual delays associated with regular court procedures. For example, they might be filed in cases of potential harm to a person, property, or rights. Courts typically prioritize these motions, allowing judges to respond swiftly to urgent matters that cannot wait for a regular hearing schedule. They are a vital tool for ensuring timely justice in critical circumstances.
