Before you file

ExhibitPrep formats documents. It does not provide legal advice, submit filings, or determine whether evidence is admissible or a filing meets court requirements.

Some guidance has not been verified against current official sources. A citation supports only its stated claim and scope. Compare the finished PDF with current court instructions and orders in your case. Follow the filing review checklist.

Missing or Illegible Exhibit Stamps

Inspect the pages you selected for stamping. Adjust placement if a stamp covers text or falls outside the visible page.

Incorrect Exhibit Numbering

Compare the prepared sequence with your intended labels. Return to the saved job to correct labels and review the revised output.
