eFiling has become standard practice for courts across California and the U.S., but many law firms still struggle with delays, rejections, and hidden costs. Here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid—and how Legal Document Server can help.
Courts often require PDFs to be text-searchable, bookmarked, and flattened. Submitting scanned images or unoptimized files can result in immediate rejection.
Tip: Use OCR in Adobe and always review the court’s formatting guidelines before submitting.
Each court has unique eFiling protocols. Failing to follow local rules—like font size, signature requirements, or naming conventions—can stall your filings.
To avoid costly errors, use a provider that understands jurisdiction-specific eFiling requirements.
Filing deadlines are strict—and courts don’t accept “technical errors” as an excuse. Uploading too close to the deadline increases the risk of rejections or delays due to server overload or missing confirmations.
Pro Tip: Our concierge eFiling services help ensure on-time submissions without the stress.
Submitting a filing is just step one. If you don’t check the status or miss a rejection notice, you could be blindsided later.
Our clients receive real-time alerts and confirmations via our secure portal so they never miss an update. See how our court filing support keeps your cases on track.
Using one provider for eFiling, another for service of process, and another for billing? That fragmentation creates more admin work and billing headaches.
