VOLUNTARY MANDATORY

ATTENTION:
When submitting documents on behalf of a Law Firm, you may come across a section that requests a Bar Number. Within our case management system, every Law Firm is assigned a unique identification number which should be entered in the Bar Number field. Please refer to this List to identify your Law Firm's ID number.

FEE LIMITATIONS (*FEES IN EXCESS OF $25,000*)

Please note that due to system limitations, the maximum eFile fees that can be processed through our eFiling system are capped at $25,000. Even if more than $25,000 in fees are submitted with the eFiled document, only $25,000 can be processed. Once the filing is accepted, you will receive a Notice of Filing Fees Due, outlining any fees exceeding $25,000 that remain outstanding.

Any additional fees exceeding this amount must be settled through the following alternative payment options after you receive the conformed copy of your document.

  1. Call Center Payment: You may make your payment by contacting our call center at (909) 387-1470.
  2. Check Payment: A check may be mailed to the Clerk’s office location of your filing.
  3. In-Person Payment: Payments may also be made directly at the Clerk’s office location of your filing.

If you have already paid your fees, please disregard.

If you have any questions or require further assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team at (909) 708-8678.
