Frequently Asked

Counsel's questions, answered.

Is the publication actually recognized by the court for legal notice purposes?+
Yes. Every masthead in our network is documented in the Library of Congress Chronicling America database with an LCCN, federally trademarked through the USPTO, and qualified under each state's newspaper-of-record statute (CA Gov. Code §6000, Tex. Gov. Code §2051.0441, etc.). Affidavits cite the specific statute under which the paper qualifies in your jurisdiction.
How fast can a notice be published?+
Standard intake publishes in the next regular edition of the qualifying paper. Rush processing ($95 add-on) queues your notice for typesetting within 4 business hours of submission. Multi-week runs (most foreclosure, name change, and probate notices) begin the next publication cycle and run consecutively as statute requires.
When and how do I receive the affidavit?+
The affidavit of publication is executed via DocuSign within 24 hours of the final publication run and delivered directly to counsel of record at the email provided. For an additional $145, a court-clerk-certified copy with state Apostille can be issued — useful for out-of-state filings or international service.
What is the per-notice fee, and how is it calculated?+
Fees are set by notice type and run length, in alignment with statutory rates where applicable. Foreclosure notices: $150–$400. Probate notices: $75–$200. Name change petitions: $100–$150. DBA/LLC formation: $50–$200. Government and bid notices: $200–$1,200. Total appears live in the Review step before payment — no hidden charges.
Do you handle service by publication for summons?+
Yes. Summons by publication is a high-volume category for us. Submit the issued summons with the court's order for publication. We publish in the qualifying paper for the defendant's last known county of residence and execute the affidavit referencing the court order and the run dates.
Can I publish across multiple states from one submission?+
For matters requiring publication in multiple jurisdictions — multi-state probate, federal bankruptcy with creditor notices in multiple districts, etc. — submit each notice separately or contact our legal-notice desk for a coordinated multi-state package. Large law firms with recurring needs across markets qualify for retainer agreements.
What if my notice text needs corrections after submission?+
Corrections submitted before typesetting (within 2 business hours of submission for rush, or before the next publication cycle for standard) are honored without charge. Corrections after the first publication run trigger a re-publication and a new affidavit at the standard fee.
