Vol. 14, No. 5 May 2018
Address updates
Going
it alone? Changing firms or locations? State Bar recently stopped providing an
email address you can use? Ensure you keep getting your minute entries,
endorsements, and correspondence from the Clerk’s office by updating your
information online at http://www.clerkofcourt.maricopa.gov/AttyAddLanding.asp. Point your clients here as well for the party/litigant
address change form.
If the
whole firm is moving, contact the Clerk’s Distribution Center by email at AttorneyUpdates@mail.maricopa.gov. Include as much detail in the notification as possible,
including old firm name and new, new address, all attorneys by name whose
address needs updating, and contact information for someone at your office we
can reach with questions.
Note
that addresses updated with the Clerk’s office are used for sending notices and
other official contacts on cases associated with individual attorneys.
Attorneys who are retiring or no longer practicing law should file a withdrawal
in each case to ensure they are removed as attorney of record. Updating a
business address to a personal address could result in that residential address
appearing on court documents in the public record.
Summer is near
Any chance you’ll be
traveling outside the U.S. this summer or fall? Is your child’s passport more
than 5 years old? If so, you might want to schedule an appointment to get your
passport applications processed. The State Department reports that passports
can take 4-6 weeks to process and return, making this a must-do for your summer
travel plans and to help you avoid expedited processing costs. You can find the
application paperwork online from the State Department at http://tinyurl.com/nlcyvso then print it and bring it with you. See the
Clerk’s website for fees, acceptable forms of payment, and documents to bring
with you. You can now make an appointment online from the Clerk’s website at http://tinyurl.com/pzem7bl.
