Conformed copies and any clerk receipts are returned per your instructions (scan/email or courier).

Timing, Cut‑Offs & Communication

  • For same‑day filing attempts, submit by 11:00 AM ET (earlier preferred).
  • Select Priority if your deposition/hearing window is tight.
  • We send status updates at filing/issuance and after each service attempt.
Clerk timelines vary by county and workload. We’ll advise expected windows and any contingencies.

Notes & Compliance
