The process was easy and cost was reasonable. My only suggestion is to allow user the ability to shorten the space between the county and state and the space after the month. I needed to draw a line at the courthouse before they would file it.

Quick and easy, but the 2MB file limit ended up causing some big headaches. Had I known the limit could be easily increased, it would have saved me a lot of time and trouble.

I thought your site was focused on my specific county, but it wasn't. Therefore, I did not complete a transaction.

Form is easy to complete but has a crowded look upon printing. I would put more returns between paragraphs to make it easier to read.
