Most of the mega companies have gone completely virtual and don’t have offices across the street from the courthouse, like we do. They have the technology, but their service is lacking. We have an office next to the Contra Costa Superior Court and the Alameda County Superior Court along with partners located in each county in California. We are thrilled to offer you advanced online filing technology AND the hard-to-find service that caters to your individual business needs.

E-File Services - Frequently Asked Questions
E-filing, or electronic filing, is the process of submitting legal documents to the court through a secure online system, replacing traditional paper filings. It offers numerous advantages, including faster processing, reduced clerical errors, and the ability to submit filings 24/7. As a Certified E-Filing Service Provider (EFSP), Bay Area Files’ software is court compliant and we ensure your filings are processed promptly and immediately sent to the court. E-filing eliminates the need for in-person visits, allowing legal professionals to focus on their cases while meeting all court deadlines smoothly.
Bay Area File offers comprehensive e-filing services for all California counties that accept electronic filings, including key areas like Contra Costa County and Alameda County. Our system is continually updated to reflect new courts that transition to e-filing, and we are often among the first EFSPs to add these courts to our portal. Whether you are filing for civil, family, probate, or small claims matters, our service covers a wide range of filings in multiple jurisdictions to meet your legal needs.
Our e-filing service supports a variety of documents, including but not limited to:
- Complaints and Petitions
