Status Overview
See where your case stands currently. The step counter is the high-level state for your case. There are several potential states: Document Review, Filing*, Service, Proof, and Complete.
- Document Review: Our team is confirming the order in our system.
- Service: Your documents are with a process server. The process server will make attempts until the documents are served or diligence is met. Typically, if you're still in this step, an additional attempt will be made within a few business days.
- Proof: the proof is being finalized. You may see a "Pending" or unsigned proof of service in your account.
- Complete: a signed copy of the proof is ready. The signed proof of service or proof of non-service is now available.
*Currently, the Filing step is only available for select customers with high volumes of casework.
