Electronic or in person, with conformed copies returned.
A court filing service submits your legal documents to the court on your behalf — electronically through the court's e-filing system or in person at the clerk's counter — manages routing and deadline compliance, and returns written confirmation of filing along with stamped or conformed copies where the court provides them.
The full range of civil litigation documents, including:
Filing is handled subject to each court's rules and formats.
Attorneys, paralegals, corporate legal departments, and self-represented parties use filing services for deadline-critical submissions and for filings in courts where they don't have a local presence — so a representative can handle e-filing or an in-person counter filing on their behalf.
We file in local, state, and federal courts across all 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, through a vetted network of field agents familiar with each court's e-filing portal and clerk's office procedures.
Yes, both, based on the court's rules. Electronic filings go through the court's e-filing portal or the federal CM-ECF system. Physical filings are handled in person, where our authorized representative files at the clerk's counter and waits for the stamped or conformed copies.
For courts that require or prefer paper filing, our authorized representative goes to the clerk's counter, presents the documents, pays any court fee you've authorized, and waits at the counter for the stamped or conformed copies. We return those copies to you as proof of filing — we don't rely on the clerk mailing anything back, which keeps the filing under our control and your proof in hand fast.
Yes. Federal district courts, bankruptcy courts, and circuit courts of appeals use PACER and CM-ECF for electronic filing, which we manage on your behalf. Physical clerk filings are handled by field agents in the relevant district. Federal pass-through fees are billed at cost.
Yes — same-day filings are routinely handled when received with enough time before the court's daily intake cutoff. For courts that close at 5 PM, we generally need clean documents by mid-afternoon to file the same day; the exact cutoff depends on the court. Rush filings carry a same-day handling fee, disclosed at intake.
You receive written confirmation of filing on every order, along with stamped or conformed copies where the court returns them, delivered as a PDF. For e-filings, we provide the court's filing receipt or acceptance notice so you have a record of the filing time and acceptance.
We track your stated deadline against the court's intake cutoff, prioritize time-sensitive filings, and confirm receipt back to you. For deadline-critical work, send clean documents as early as possible and flag the deadline at intake so we can confirm feasibility before you rely on it.
Filings are sometimes rejected for clerical reasons — formatting, a missing signature, an incorrect caption, or a fee issue. We flag the rejection promptly, identify the reason, coordinate the correction with you, and resubmit. Catching and curing these quickly is a large part of why a managed filing service protects a deadline rather than letting a rejection sit unnoticed.
Yes. We file proposed orders and deliver chambers or judge's courtesy copies where local rules or the assigned judge require them, including in-person delivery to chambers when that's the requirement. Note the courtesy-copy requirement at intake and we'll build it into the workflow.
Filing is quoted as a service fee based on the court, filing type, and whether an in-person counter filing is required, plus court-assessed filing fees passed through at cost with no markup. All foreseeable charges are disclosed in a written quote in the form of a no-obligation invoice before any work begins.
Court-assessed filing fees are separate from our service fee and passed through at cost, with no markup. They vary by court and document type. All foreseeable court fees are disclosed in your written quote and require your authorization before we advance payment to the court.
For an accurate, deadline-safe filing, provide:
If anything is missing, we follow up before filing rather than guess.
Upload the documents through our online quote form or email them as a single PDF per filing to info@served123.com. All transfers occur over TLS-encrypted connections, and we can accept documents through your firm's preferred secure-share platform on request.
Three options:
We reply with a written quote in the form of a no-obligation invoice; work begins once you approve and pay it.
Yes. We coordinate multi-court and multi-jurisdiction filings under a single matter, with consolidated reporting and one point of contact — useful for parallel actions and multi-defendant litigation spanning several courts or states.
Yes. We can file and then serve in one coordinated workflow — for example, filing a complaint and then serving the summons and complaint on each defendant — and return both the filing confirmation and the affidavits of service, so a single vendor carries the matter from filing through proof of service.
Deadline-disciplined filing — electronic or at the counter — with proof in your hands fast.
