What Green Filing is
Green Filing is a web service for submitting documents to state courts, serving legal professionals and people representing themselves. Its listed coverage includes California, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, though California availability varies by county and division. Auto-File reads court, case, document-type, and party details from uploaded documents to prefill fields for review; those submissions have an additional $1.00 processing fee. In California, Illinois, Indiana, and Texas, users can email documents from an account-linked address to create a draft filing. The service converts many word-processing and image formats to PDF during upload, and word-processing files can be converted to text-searchable PDFs. Electronic service and tracking are included at no additional cost, with details varying by state. Users can review filing activity, fees, and client matter numbers in reports exportable to Excel and PDF. Filing size limits vary by state. Listed California pricing is $12.95 per filing submission for attorneys and law firms, and $14.95 per filing submission for individuals; court fees and transaction costs are not included.
