Filing Coordination & Confirmation
Filing coordination is for firms with several filings in several places at once: DFS plans the run across courts and counties and reports each confirmation back as it comes in.
Coordination services
Coordinated filing runs across multiple courts and counties, with a written status report for every document.
- Run planningFilings grouped by county and court so agents can work them efficiently.
- Per-filing trackingEach document logged with court, case, date submitted and result.
- Confirmation reportingStamped copies, receipts or rejection reasons reported back for every item.

- Hand-off to service or courierIssued process or returned originals routed onward on request.
Ten filings, six counties
Collections practices, firms with related cases, and offices handling a batch of probate or landlord matters often need filings in many clerk offices during the same week. Tracking which ones landed is its own job.
DFS assigns the filings to county-level agents under one chain of command and keeps a single status record for the firm.
Single filing vs. coordinated run
| Single filing | Coordinated run | |
|---|---|---|
| Courts | One | Several, across counties |
| Reporting | Proof for that filing | Status log plus closing report |
| Contact | Assigned agent | One coordinator for the batch |
Running a batch
- Send the listProvide each filing's court, county, documents and any firm deadline.
- Agree the plan and feesDFS confirms coverage, sequence and pricing in writing.
- Execute and reportAgents file, and the firm receives status updates and a closing report listing every result.
Limits of coordination
Coordination improves visibility, not the court's processing time.
- Deadlines remain the firm's responsibility; send work with enough lead time for the chosen tier.
- Courts requiring e-filing by counsel are excluded unless the firm handles that step.
- DFS does not check documents against local rules.
Questions about filing coordination
Is there a minimum number of filings?
No set minimum. Coordination is most useful once filings span more than one county or court.
How will I know a filing went through?
Each item is reported with a stamped copy, receipt or the clerk's stated reason for rejection.
Can a batch include service of process?
Yes. Issued summonses or subpoenas can be passed to DFS servers, each under its own written quote.
