Assignment review and required payment before dispatch.
Prepared documents. Local court support.
When your assignment calls for a permitted paper filing, we help handle the courthouse trip. Our physical court filing service supports attorneys, law firms, businesses and self-represented customers who have prepared their documents and identified their filing instructions. Filing acceptance remains with the court.
Physical filing at the clerk’s office
Submit your prepared packet for delivery to the appropriate filing counter when paper filing is permitted for the document and case.
Courthouse-specific handling
Provide the exact court, division and case number. Pricing depends on the destination and requested service level.
Rush and immediate requests
Tell us the actual filing deadline before paying. Expedited scheduling must be confirmed around court hours, cutoffs and runner availability.
Related court-run assignments
Ask about a separate courtesy-copy delivery or document retrieval request when the same matter requires more than a filing.

Local support for Santa Clara County.
Published filing rates cover the Downtown Superior Court, Family Justice Center, Hall of Justice and the location listed as District Courthouse in our pricing schedule. Include the exact courthouse name and address in your request; jurisdiction, division and filing eligibility must be confirmed for the assignment.
Check the filing method before dispatch.

Court Filing Services FAQs.
How much is physical court filing in San Jose?
Standard service is $70 at Downtown Superior Court, $90 at Family Justice Center, $130 at Hall of Justice and $110 for the District Courthouse listing. Rush and immediate rates vary by courthouse. Court fees and other expenses are separate.
Do you offer rush or immediate filing?
Yes, requests can be reviewed for Rush or Immediate service. Confirm the deadline and availability before ordering. Expedited service does not guarantee clerk acceptance or completion before a cutoff.
Is this the same as e-filing?
No. This service concerns physical courthouse handling. Electronic filing uses a separate submission system, and some documents or cases require that method. Check the court’s current instructions before requesting a paper filing.
Are government filing fees included?
No. The listed amount is our service fee. Court fees and other third-party expenses are separate unless expressly included in your written quote.
Will you prepare or correct my legal documents?
This service is for handling a prepared filing packet. We do not provide legal advice or determine which documents you should file. Submit complete documents and specific instructions.
What happens if the clerk rejects the filing?
We relay the filing outcome and any available rejection information. You or your attorney will need to address the issue. Corrections, resubmission or a return trip may require additional charges.
Does filing include courtesy copies or service on another party?
Courtesy-copy delivery and service of process are separate tasks unless specifically included in the accepted assignment. Tell us which additional services you need.
