How to add attorneys and firm locations

Keep a list of the outside attorneys you work with, such as appearance attorneys, and of your firm’s office addresses. Your office addresses are the locations you pick from when you schedule appointments and set up users.

Time needed: about 5 minutes.

Step 1

Open Attorney Management

Click Admin Panel in the left menu, then click Attorney Management. (Firm Locations is right next to it; you’ll use it in step 4.)

Step 3

Enter the attorney’s details and submit

Fill in the attorney’s name, address, suite (optional), city, state and ZIP, phone number and email address. Click Submit.

Tip: ProperFile emails the attorney an invitation to the Attorney Portal, so they can see the cases you share with them. Make sure the email address is right. To change or remove an attorney later, use the Actions button next to their name.
