Estimates assume the client's documents are in hand. Follow-up for missing documents, large productions or revisions after attorney edits are billed as they occur.

How filing works: We e-file only at your direction, under your firm's e-filing account and payment method. Court filing fees and e-filing service charges are billed to your account, not advanced by us. Nothing is submitted until you approve the final document, and fee waivers are applied where on file.
