Stop Wasting Billable Hours. Let Our New Orleans Courthouse Runners Handle Your Filings.
For a busy law firm, time is the most valuable asset. The hours your staff spend on logistical tasks are hours lost on billable work. Therefore, a professional New Orleans courthouse runner is the secret weapon for the most efficient firms in the region.

While we offer statewide service, our dedicated team specializes in the unique complexities of the New Orleans metro courts.

Why Outsource Your Filings?
Outsourcing your court runs and eFilings is one of the smartest financial decisions a law firm can make. Here’s why:
- ⏰ Save Time & Increase Focus: Above all, you free up your paralegals and attorneys to concentrate on high-value legal work instead of spending half a day on a single filing.
- 📂 Ensure Accuracy: Furthermore, our experienced team members are experts on the specific rules of each courthouse. This includes physical filing needs, like legal document binding, and the technical requirements for eFiling, preventing costly rejections.
- 💵 Improve Efficiency: Consequently, you can turn non-billable travel time and technical hassles into productive, billable hours for your staff.
- 🗺️ Simplify Multi-Parish & Statewide Cases: Finally, a single case can require filings in multiple parishes. With one call to us, you can handle filings in Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Tammany parishes seamlessly.
