Law Firm Workflow

Law firms need service-of-process software that gives status, proof, and invoices without phone tag.

Law firms do not need field-server software. They need a clean request and tracking portal: submit the job, upload the PDFs, confirm the service target, see assignment and attempt updates, download the return or nonservice proof, and pay or export invoices. DocketServe keeps that client workflow separate from server field controls.
