Short answer: On-Call Legal handles the work that surrounds a case rather than the case itself: process serving, court filing and eFiling, subpoena preparation and service, document and records retrieval, court-record copies, and legal messenger runs. Coverage runs across California and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What services does On-Call Legal provide?
Process serving, court filing and eFiling, subpoena preparation and service, document research and retrieval, court-record copies, county recording, courtesy copy delivery and legal messenger runs.
Do you cover the whole of California?
Yes, and nationwide. Coverage runs across California's counties, with work outside the state handled through the same intake.
Can documents be filed the same day?
Same-day filing is available in the counties we cover, subject to the court's own cut-off times for the day.
Do you prepare subpoenas as well as serve them?
Yes. Subpoena preparation is a service in its own right, including the notice requirements that go with records subpoenas.
Can you retrieve court records?
Yes. Document research and retrieval covers case files, judgments, minute orders and filed pleadings, and copies can be certified.
How do you place an order?
Orders go through the online portal, where you upload the documents and add the service address and any access notes, and the file is routed once intake is complete.
