What a firm account changes

Same server, same price, same three attempts. What's different is everything around the serve — the part that eats your staff's afternoon.

Bulk intake from the documents you already have

Drop in twenty PDFs. We read the caption, case number, court, and party off each one and build twenty requests — your paralegal confirms the addresses and approves the batch.

  • Case details read off the caption
  • Duplicate defendants merged automatically
  • One approval covers the whole batch
  • Matter numbers carried onto the invoice

  • Attempts as they happen

    Every attempt posts with time, GPS, and the server's note within minutes — not in a summary three days later.

    Email or Slack digest, your choice

  • Seats for your whole team

    Attorneys, paralegals, and billing each see what they need. Requests stay with the matter, not with whoever placed them.

    Unlimited seats · no per-user charge

  • One invoice, coded to matters

    Every line carries your matter number and client code, so costs land where they belong without anyone retyping them.

    Net 30 · CSV and LEDES export

  • Skip tracing without a new order

    When an address goes bad mid-serve, we run the trace and keep going. One button, no second intake form.

    Free on firm accounts · $60 otherwise

  • Proofs formatted for your court

    POS-010, POS-020, or the local form your clerk actually accepts — signed, notarized where required, ready to file.

    We file it too, for $65

  • A person who knows your docket

    One named contact for your firm, reachable directly. Not a ticket queue, not a different rep every time you call.

    Direct line · same-day response

Open an account in about five minutes

No contract, and no onboarding call you have to schedule two weeks out. You can place your first request before you've finished setting up billing.

  1. Tell us your firm

    Firm name, State Bar number, and the courts you file in most. We pre-load your proof formats from that.

    About 2 minutes

  2. Invite your team

    Add the paralegals who'll actually place the requests. Seats are free, so add everyone who touches service.

    Or skip and do it later

  3. Send your first batch

    Upload the PDFs sitting on your desk right now. Approve the addresses, and we're out the door the same day.

    Billing can wait until invoice one

Start with your firm's name

We'll set up the account and email a link to finish. Nothing is charged and nothing is scheduled until you send a request.

Free · no card · about five minutes

The price is the price

We don't run a volume ladder and we don't charge for the software. A firm sending sixty serves a month pays the same $110 an address as someone serving their neighbor once.

    Unlimited seats, bulk intake, tracking, exports, and invoicing. Not a subscription.

Rush and same-day service, stakeouts, out-of-county travel, and eviction packages are quoted before we start. You approve the number before anyone leaves the office — nothing lands on an invoice you haven't already seen.

The questions firms actually ask before switching.

We already have a server we like.
Then keep them. Open an account for overflow, for the counties they don't cover, and for the weeks they're backed up. There's no minimum, so an account that sits idle costs you nothing.
What happens after three attempts?
You get a declaration of due diligence you can attach to a motion for substituted or posted service — written to be filed, not a note saying we tried. Further attempts are quoted; we ask first.
Does this replace our case management system?
No, and it shouldn't. It handles service and hands back a proof PDF and an invoice line coded to your matter. Everything else stays where your firm already keeps it.
Who is actually serving our papers?
A registered, bonded server we employ — named on your matter, with a direct line. We don't hand your work to a national dispatch network and hope for the best.
How fast can you take a rush?
Same-day within Contra Costa and Alameda if it's in before noon. Call rather than upload for anything with a hearing this week — the line goes to a person.
Is our client data safe here?
Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, visible only to your firm's seats and the assigned server, and deleted on request. We don't sell data and we don't train anything on your filings.

Send us the stack on your desk.

Open the account, upload whatever's waiting, and watch the first batch go out today. If it doesn't save your staff an afternoon a week, stop using it — there's nothing to cancel.

Northbound Legal is a registered process serving and legal support company. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice. We handle service, filing, retrieval, and locate work — the procedural parts. Deadline tracking in the dashboard is a convenience, not a calendaring service; your firm stays responsible for its own dates.
