FTP transfers allow for large batches of files to be sent at once. While this means does not allow for additional instructions and case numbers, if a file is sent over titled as the file itself (e.g. file XYZ would have a filename of XYZ.pdf), then our staff can easily match up the information and look up the case numbers. While this approach may not suite all clients, it provides an easy method for clients who need a large number of files served and do not have time to transfer each one on its own.

Another method that we offer is the java uploader, which allows for an even greater ease of transfer. Rather than using forms to enter the file (using the "Browse" button to find the files on your hard drive one at a time), simply drag and drop the files onto our java uploader, and it will do the rest! This transfer method does require the same level of organization that FTP transfers do in regard to naming the files.

We use the USPS exclusively for all mailings. This gives MDWestServe the benefit of access to the USPS API (United States Postal Service Application Programming Interface), which provides access to the postal database of valid addresses. We use this database to check all addresses for validity before initiating service or sending mailings.

In addition to verifying all addresses, we verify all case numbers. We have found that this minimizes the chance of court documents being misfiled or rejected based on insufficient case number formatting. Our staff performs this service immediately following data entry, and will notify the client if a file's accompanying case number is not valid.
