Secure Online Fax for California Law Firms & Courts
California firms and courts still depend on fax for service and for filings that the rules accept by transmission. The California Rules of Court recognize fax in certain situations, and high-volume courts like the Los Angeles Superior Court and San Francisco Superior Court process thousands of faxed documents each week.
Regulations & Compliance
Fax service and filing in California are governed by the California Rules of Court and by Code of Civil Procedure sections 1012 and 1013, which set the procedure and the timing rules, including how after-hours transmissions are treated. The State Bar of California sets the professional-conduct standards for communicating with clients and opposing counsel. The Judicial Council and individual courts may add local requirements, so a clean transmission record matters.
