There are 38 superior courts in Los Angeles County and over a thousand judgeships. Los
Angeles alone has over 500 judgeships, almost equal to the rest of Southern California. Many of
these judges and courts receive hundreds, if not thousands, of legal documents, requests,
petitions, and a number of other legal documents and couriers from various sources. A court
filing courier service (which falls under the broader scope of legal courier services) has the
capabilities and proper procedures in place to deliver these sensitive documents with adequate
discretion and promptly.

Why Should You Choose A Specialized Court Filing Courier
Service?
There are several reasons why a firm like Ways Messenger who specialize in Court Filing
Courier Service is a smart choice for these documents and deliveries.
Timely Deliveries: Important documents reaching the right individuals within a court in a timely
manner can be critical for legal proceedings and rulings, and delays can have disastrous
consequences. This also includes same-day and last-minute filing.
Discretion: Discretion and confidentiality are critical in such documents because even the
information of certain legal documents being delivered to the court can have several unwanted
implications.

delivered following certain court protocols. Failure to do so can result in the couriers being
returned or rejected. Dedicated service providers have this expertise.
Reliability: A court filing courier service provider will ensure proper care in handling and
delivering these deliveries because they understand the gravity of mistakes in these scenarios.

places and procedures without introducing any unnecessary delays in these often time-sensitive
deliveries.
