A fabulous Notary. The whole process of selling our properties abroad was made so easy by this lovely lady. Elaine knew her law, handled all the paperwork and posting, and the documents were received in Bulgaria, via the Apostille, in a few days. A service second to none. Thanks Elaine.

We needed documentation apostilled but didnt know the process so contacted Elaine as she was local to us and we are so glad we did as we cannot rate her highly enough. We had issues with some of our documents and Elaine went the extra mile to sort out the issue very quickly at no extra cost. We would recommend everyone to contact Elaine as she is extremely caring, helpful and knowledgeable.

I have used Elaine's services twice now, and both times she has been magnificent to work with. Elaine responds very quickly to emails and charges very fair prices. I'd fully recommend her if you're looking for Notary services.

Elaine, you literally secured my new role abroad by providing me with the exactly what I needed and nothing I didn't. Which sadly could not be said for other notary public/solicitors/accountants. Elaine is professional, skilled and a subject matter expert. She is also easy to talk to and absolutely understands what is required. Elaine is not trying to make money out of your predicament she is genuinely looking to provide suitable needs. Thank you so much Elaine, you deserve every success in your business.

Amazing service and great customer service - Elaine is very polite, she explains everything in details and responds quickly. The process of obtaining apostille was faster than I imagined and if I ever had to notarise any document from UK again Id definitely ask her :)

Always extremely helpful, professional, and transparent in her advice, I would happily recommend, without hesitation, the services of Elaine. Faced with some tight deadlines, Elaine has always been friendly, approachable, and extremely accommodating, even arranging to meet outside of normal business hours, which ensured I was able to submit my documents on time and for this Im extremely grateful.
The documents are presented and bound in the most professional way. The optional legalisation service for Apostille via the UK FCDO was incredibly speedy and flawless. On both occasions, I had my notarised documents with the Apostille returned within 3 working days, so if youre in a rush, it is worth the extra to use the fast-track consular service. Thanks, Elaine, for your help and assistance it is really very much appreciated.
