Local court rules create two deadlines. Noon and End of Day. In order to meet those deadlines, we need to receive your filing assignment with sufficient time to prepare your documents.

Our deadlines for receipt of your assignments are 11 AM and 3:30 PM. The amount of time needed to prepare your documents is dependent on several factors such as number of pages, number of documents, whether or not you want working copies, and so forth. See the link below for more details.

That said, if you have a small and non-complex assignment we can push the 11 AM and 3:30 PM deadline back as much as 30 minutes BUT ONLY if you notify us ahead of time and we confirm we’re in a position to handle it for you. Email at robin@robinmullins.com or call 360-815-6488.

Our goal is to do the following.

• File the documents with the court before your deadline.
• Provide copies for the judge, commissioner, and opposing counsel in the manner you want them to receive the documents.
• Provide you with proof of filing and service through the use of a conformed face page of each document.

Helpful hints to help your GR-17 filing go smoothly.

• DO upload individual documents in individual pdf files.
• DON’T combine documents into a single pdf file.
• DO create a filing assignment for each case.
• DON’T combine cases into the same assignment.
• DO put exhibits and attachments in the same pdf file as the document. Max file upload size is 500 MB, which is enough to hold many hundreds of pages.
• DON’T upload exhibits and attachments in separate files. Having them attached on the back of the document makes them much easier to handle as we prepare them for filing.

By using our document upload system you will receive filing confirmation within only a few minutes of the time your filing assignment is completed. Your invoice and conformed face pages will follow later.
