Automatically Include the Conformed Summons with Rhode Island Proofs

Court clerks in Rhode Island like their summonses returned alongside our proof of service, and we ❤ court clerks. So we started automatically including the summons with every proof filing instead of doing it by hand. That's a lot of time-savings: ABC Legal is now e-filing and serving thousands of cases every month in Rhode Island.

 

E-sign Proofs of Mailing in Texas and California for E-filing Courts

We're big believers in electronic signatures. E-signing is faster & a lot more secure than signing with wet ink, so we e-sign whenever we can, and that now includes our declarations of mailing in Texas and California.

 

Adjust Capitalization By Court Preference when E-Filing by API

Some courts like UPPER CASE, some courts like Camel Case and choosing the wrong one can lead to a rejection.  Our e-filing API now automatically formats text according to what each court prefers, so you never have to worry about it.

We're now using the latest and greatest format for declarations showing service of wage garnishments in Arizona.
