Discover how we deliver exceptional experiences—not just documents. We make service of process and related legal processes simple. This week, we're exploring how ABC Legal can optimize service of process by eFiling proof of service once service is complete.
At ABC Legal, we make proof eFiling simple by ensuring that documenting service and creating quality proof of service is easy and efficient—so much so that some servers even complete and sign the proof in the field. As a result, your proof is prepared quickly, and the final document is conveniently available in your account as a PDF.
For Professional and Enterprise accounts, we make the rest easy.
You can sit back and relax throughout the eFiling process; you don't have to lift a finger.
Why should law firms and businesses care about instantly eFiling proof with ABC Legal? The answer is simple: increased efficiency. You'll streamline your processes, improve filing speed and accuracy, and get information faster. It's a win for your entire team.
With other vendors, you typically have to wait for the process server to return home and complete the proof. They'll send it to you one way or another, and then it becomes your team's responsibility to submit it to court or your Electronic Filing Service Provider (EFSP).
These extra handoffs are not necessary for customers who frequently order service of process. We make it easier to create proof of service, so process servers can quickly review and return proofs in the field. We also handle proof eFiling in-house. There's no delay, handoff, or middleman to wait for. Instead, we take action as soon as the proof is available in your account.
Improve Filing Speed + Accuracy
eFiling without using tools or having extensive experience is possible, but it takes time and introduces risks. Any hand that touches a document or interfaces with the portal may create a typo or mistake. Errors in filing can increase chances for misfilings, which delays your case.
With ABC Legal your documents are in good hands. In instances where automation isn't possible or compatible with a court's eFiling process, ABC Legal has a dedicated team of specialists who handle the filing. Automations like InstaFile™ and API connections get documents to major courts across the U.S. in record time. The value of automation is not just in its speed. It also reduces manual interaction with portals and documents, which reduces the chances of human error causing a misfile. Automations decrease errors and accelerate timelines, ensuring your case is on the fast track to success.
When you're reliant on third party service providers, your team may have to tango with multiple channels of communication with multiple contacts. Sometimes it's hard to get answers. Service of process and proof eFiling don't have to happen in a black box.
With ABC Legal, you avoid communication delays. You'll receive automatic notifications as soon as we file the document. Once the court accepts it, we’ll post the final documentation to your account. It's all available in real-time. Plus, you'll receive email or SMS alerts based on your account settings at key steps throughout the process.
Automated filing allows us to scale with the growing needs of our customers while maintaining the quality of our work and the speed at which we file.
In cases where full automation isn’t possible, our filing team leverages tools to efficiently and accurately transfer information from our system to the filing portal. This drastically reduces the risk of errors, as the data does not need to be when information does not need to be manually entered into each field. We program rules in our system to automatically adhere to the requirements of each state, county, court level, or legal document category when filing, meaning even our newest employees can file confidently and effectively.
Each proof undergoes a review before filing, ensuring any errors can be quickly addressed through our automated systems. If the process server forgets to sign, we seamlessly regenerate the proof within our system, dispatch it back out for e-signature (where possible), and receive it back for filing—often in a matter of minutes!
Every day, we strive to enhance our internal processes. Our goal is to file faster, minimize errors, and ensure our filers and customers are happy to be a part of what sets ABC Legal apart as a leader in our field.
