InfoTrack Changes The Game Once Again With Simplified E-Filing In Illinois

The company that changed the way you do corporation searches is about to make your life easier yet again. InfoTrack, the creator of revolutionary software that allows you to run integrated searches through PACER and D&B without costly subscriptions, has entered the electronic filing game in Illinois and revolutionized it in the process.

Anyone who’s ever had to do an electronic filing knows what a hassle it can be. If you’re someone who e-files regularly, especially in different courts, you’ve probably wanted to pull your hair out a time or two. Between vastly differing court rules and the individual courts not being electronically up to speed (to put it mildly), mastering the e-filing game can be an uphill battle. Thankfully, InfoTrack’s new e-filing service is here to change all that.

Jumping Into the E-Filing Pool

As courts across the country slowly continue to come online, e-filing is becoming mandatory in many places. Even if you’re still managing to get by with traditional paper filings, that won’t be the case for long. While the transition to e-filing may seem overwhelming for the uninitiated, InfoTrack makes it easy.

E-filing with InfoTrack is done through a seamless, all-in-one interface. Simply sign up through their website and you’re on your way to preparing and tracking all your filings in one centralized place. Just launch the e-filing system and get ready to enter all the essential information.

To create a new filing, enter your matter number, relevant client information, and the attorneys involved. Then designate the type of document you’re filing, along with a description if you so desire. You can also enter additional email addresses for anyone you want to receive the filing.

Once all the basic information is entered, it’s time to upload your documents. The system supports both PDF and Word documents. Because many courts prefer the former, InfoTrack will even convert your Word documents to PDFs for you. After you import, you always have a chance to preview the filing before it goes out.

The final step is payment. Just designate who you’re filing on behalf of and input your credit card or eCheck information for the court-designated fees. The system will verify that information and that all your uploads are correct, and that’s it. Once it’s received, the court clerk reviews it and sends an email saying whether it was approved or rejected.

If you’ve e-filed documents for a case in the past using InfoTrack, you can easily add new filings to that case going forward, saving yourself the time of re-entering your matter number and all your client information. You can even set things up so that others in your firm can file on your behalf, just as long as your information is in the system. And you can always see a list of your pending and past filings.

It’s hard to imagine a less stressful way to e-file.

Integration With Case Management Systems

As simple as e-filing is from InfoTrack’s platform, they manage to make it even easier by integrating with some of the top case management systems on the market. What that means from a practical standpoint is that you don’t even need to leave the screen where you’re already doing all your other work to do your electronic filing. Just click on InfoTrack from your dashboard and you’re on your way.

InfoTrack imports all your relevant client information directly from your case management system, saving you the time of having to input it every time and eliminating the risk of transcription errors. It also automatically pulls in your matter number, so you can rest assured that there’s an accurate record of your filing right beside all your other crucial case documents.

The same is true of any responses you receive from the court. The email from the clerk either accepting or rejecting your filing automatically gets filed into your matter in your case management system. Your filing fees will be immediately linked to the appropriate matter number without you having to do anything. CMS-integrated e-filing with InfoTrack is a seamless experience from start to finish. InfoTrack integrates with content management systems such as Smokeball, LEAP, Clio, Actionstep, and numerous others.

The Future of E-Filing

Slowly but surely, e-filing is working its way through the courts and becoming mandatory. As it expands on a state-by-state basis, so will InfoTrack’s service. They currently offer e-filing in Illinois, with California, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts expected soon.

In short, it’s a matter of waiting for the state courts to catch up with technology. As soon as states come online, you’ll be able to e-file there through InfoTrack.

And, as always, InfoTrack doesn’t charge subscription fees. The ability to access their e-filing service is free, making it easy for attorneys to use it once or once a day. They simply charge a nominal convenience fee per filing. Given the amount of billable time the system saves, not to mention the wonders it will do for your stress levels, the minor fee is more than worth it.

E-filing has notoriously been an anxiety-inducing task. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be. For e-filing made easy, InfoTrack is your new best friend. Try it today, and you’ll never look at e-filing the same way again.
