Send a legal support request
Use Contact when you have a filing, service or court task to discuss. Include the jurisdiction and deadline whenever possible.
Specific task? Start here.
This form is for a concrete assignment or service question. If your firm wants an ongoing relationship or account setup, use Request Account instead.

What makes a useful request
Identify the service, court or jurisdiction, case reference when available and the actual deadline. For service of process, include recipient and address information. For court work, describe the expected action and what completion should look like.
If several tasks belong to the same matter, describe the relationship between them while keeping each action explicit. This reduces follow-up without merging distinct legal workflows.
When to use Contact instead of Request Account
Use Contact when the immediate need is a specific filing, service or courthouse assignment. A dated matter should not be delayed by an account conversation when the useful information is the court, jurisdiction, requested action and deadline. If the question is broader and the firm expects recurring work, Request Account is the better path.
For a filing request, include the case and document information available to your team. For electronic service, identify recipients. For formal service, include recipient and address details. For court services, describe the physical action the courthouse assignment is expected to accomplish.
Urgent requests need an actual deadline
If an assignment is time-sensitive, tell us the date and time that control the request and call (213) 249-9999 after submitting the form. A concrete deadline gives the legal-support team far more useful information than a generic “ASAP” label.
Keep sensitive information proportionate to the inquiry
Use the form to provide the operational facts needed to understand the request. Avoid sending unnecessary confidential or highly sensitive information through a general website inquiry. The team can follow up through the appropriate channel if additional matter information is required.
Examples of useful matter context
For e-filing, tell us the court, case number when available, document type and filing deadline. For e-service, identify the documents and intended electronic recipients. For physical court filing, describe the courthouse action, originals or copies involved and the expected return. For service of process, include recipient, address, documents and timing. For a broader court-service task, describe the outcome you need at the courthouse.
These examples are not a substitute for court rules or case-specific instructions. They are simply the operational facts that make a general website request easier to understand and route.
After you submit the request
The legal-support team can use the submitted contact information to follow up about operational questions. If any key fact changes — such as the deadline, court, service address or document set — send the update promptly so the request is not evaluated against outdated information.
