What is TrueFiling?

TrueFiling is a web-based eFiling and eService solution for attorneys, firm staff, court reporters / recorders, pro se (self-represented) filers, and non-party filers, such as probation officers. It provides an intuitive user interface where filers can electronically file documents for an existing case or initiate a new case. Using an Internet connected computer instead of filing paper documents at the Clerk’s office results in increased efficiency and accuracy.

The TrueFiling system also enables the court to electronically accept, route, and take action on filings such as signing proposed orders or summons, as well as case initiation requests. TrueFiling provides a completely paperless solution for case initiation, filing submission, court reporting, document service, and all processes in between.

The filing process in TrueFiling typically consists of:

The filer - an attorney, self-represented filer, or court reporter (or a TrueFiling connection who can file on their behalf) - who will:

• Prepare the documents to file to the court using applications such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat.
• Log in to their TrueFiling account using their email address and password.
• Search for and locate their case. If the case has not yet been created at the court, the filer can initiate the case through TrueFiling.
• Upload the filing documents.
• Specify any service recipients for the filings.
• Submit their filing bundle.
• Select the payment account that will be charged any fees associated with the filing bundle.

Once successfully submitted, the documents are sent to the court Clerk for review. Any associated fees are charged accordingly.

The filer can view their filing's status with the court via the TrueFiling History page. Also, notifications regarding the filing's status can be sent via text message or email to the filer if the appropriate notification settings have been set.

 

e-Service

For all filings specified for e-Servicing, the selected service recipients will be served via email. If the court requires a Proof of Service, and you e-Serve, TrueFiling will automatically generate and deliver a Proof of Service to the court. If allowed by the court, a single Proof of Service may be generated for all related filings submitted together.

 

The Clerk, who will:

• Review the incoming filings and Proof of Service and then reject or tentatively accept each filing based on court rules.

• If the Clerk accepts the filing, the filer can view the filing's status with the court via the History page and be sent an acceptance notification via text message or email.
• If the Clerk rejects the filing, the filer can view the rejection reason via the TrueFiling History page and be sent a rejection notification.
• If the filing is accepted, and payment is approved, the Clerk will electronically stamp the filing and update the Register of Actions for the case accordingly.
