Select/Create Attorney

Last Update:  May 8, 2008

 

The Attorney Pick List displays all active attorneys in the case.  If an attorney is not listed, they must be added to the pick list.

The attorney database is populated by all users, therefore it is a good chance the attorney being searched for will be located.

Note:  If you search your Bar ID and the system returns a "No Match" result, do not create a new record for yourself.  Conduct a search by your name.  All registered ECF filers are in our database and your record should display.
