Filing Agent

An individual employed by a registered user may be a filing agent. By creating filing agents, more than one agent can file documents on behalf of an attorney or multiple attorneys. When a filing agent is no longer authorized to act on the registered user’s behalf, the filing agent’s login and password must be disassociated by the registered user.
