Lewis provided an exceptional service and could not have been more charming. His pricing is also very reasonable. Highly recommend!
Lewis was incredibly helpful and kind. Despite being a few minutes late for my appointment he still took care to explain the process and pricing thoroughly, made small talk and wished me the best of luck with my plans. Great service, lovely bloke, would recommend.
Outstanding services from Lewis. He was incredibly professional and explained the entire process clearly, with great attention to detail. My experience was smooth and straightforward. He was reassuring and demonstrated empathy for the challenges involved in preparing to move to another country. I would highly recommend his services and will certainly return for any notarization needs.
I've engaged Lewis Shand's services for going on 3 years now. Always so responsive, clear and efficient. Highly recommend.
I visited today to get an apostille for some documents, and Lewis was excellent. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. Great service from start to finish. Highly recommend!
I got a same day booking today with Lewis to have a statutory declaration witnessed and signed. Lewis is soooo warm and friendly and will have a lovely chat with you whilst also maintaining professionalism. He’s very knowledgeable and will help you with any questions you have as it can be a confusing process understanding the submission process of legal documents. I was in and out on time and the appointment was very efficient. I asked Lewis to walk me through the process as it was a bit confusing for me and he was more than happy to assist with any questions I had. 100% recommend!
Lewis provided a great service while we were organising apostille for a number of documents. He listened to myself and my partner about what we needed and was empathetic to our financial situation, and took that into consideration. We got our documents sent for urgent apostille and are very happy with the service so far!
