Electric filing (“eFiling”) is mandatory in Orange County Courts in California.
In order to file these sensitive documents electronically, it requires all who have cases in the Orange County courts to use a certified electronic filing service provider (EFSP).
What is an EFSP?
You may have seen the acronym “EFSP” and wondered what it means. You may also know that an EFSP is an Electronic Filing Service Provider. Either way let’s examine in more detail the aspects of who or what an EFSP is and how to find the best one for your law firm.
Definition: An Electronic Filing Service Provider (EFSP) is a platform, such as American LegalNet, where one can digitally submit documents for court approvals, thru a secure internet connection
What type of services does an EFSP provide?
There are many eFiling service providers that do not offer many electronic services and only provide eService in several counties. What this means is, you will need a separate provider whenever a courtesy copy needs to be sent, one needs to serve process at the beginning of case, or you need to file in a county that continues to require physical filing. This can make the process tedious, counter productive and confusing.
You will find that the only certified eFiling service provider that offers a complete, statewide set of legal support tools and top notch customer service is American LegalNet. In addition to eFiling with American LegalNet, you are able to add additional physical services using our workflow as you file as well as our comprehensive eDockets system, the first and only platform to offer centralize national rules based docketed integrated with official court forms.
