Firefly Announces Major Update

As we continue to focus on making sure that our systems are up to date with the latest technology, we are happy to announce that we have recently implemented a major update.

You may recall that Firefly was the first major process server to modify its processes through technology to require only two copies of complaints when filing new cases with the court. Additionally, we were one of the first process servers to create and use our own process server web app, which helps our servers communicate data from service attempts more quickly and efficiently.

The upgrade to our proprietary document generation program includes the implementation of barcodes, eliminating manual entry and assuring accuracy. Though Firefly continues to audit every single file that comes through our doors, this automated process will cut down on mistakes made by human error and will also increase the speed at which files can be processed.

Keep your eyes peeled as an official press release will follow with more details on this exciting change!

Will County Strike Likely on Monday

According to the Chicago Tribune, Will County officials will likely be going on strike Monday, November 18th, 2013. Will County employees have been trying to strike a deal with union officials regarding healthcare and pay increases.

Despite the impending strike, the Tribune reported that “County officials said they plan to have county services available Monday even if employees strike. ” However, the article does not speculate what would happen after Monday if the strike took place and went unresolved.

Definitely keep a watchful eye on this topic and prepare for significant delays as a strike could seriously impact court proceedings, filings, and other matters.
