What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Companies and private individuals needing documents legalised for use overseas make up much of the work described, with notarisation and apostille handling for international matters appearing throughout the accounts. Faye Thorman is named in most of the feedback, and her professionalism, depth of knowledge and responsiveness attract consistent praise. The process is repeatedly described as smooth and straightforward, covering attestation of certificates, powers of attorney for use in Spain and paperwork connected with international patent filings, all dealt with efficiently from first contact to completion.

Clarity of guidance is a recurring theme, with instructions described as easy to follow and charges explained plainly, alongside flexibility over appointment times to suit busy schedules. Communication is another point that comes up often, both at the outset and while documents were in progress, including direct liaison with a solicitor abroad to confirm wording was correct. Patience, a friendly manner and a genuine willingness to help run through the feedback, and the impression left is of work completed quickly and accurately, giving customers confidence that their documents will be accepted wherever they are sent. Powers of attorney for Spanish use and international patent filings stand out among the specific matters handled.

I cannot recommend Faye highly enough. From the outset, Faye was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly responsive. She guided me through the notarisation and apostille process for an important international legal document and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. Communication was excellent throughout. Faye took the time to liaise directly with the Portuguese solicitor, carefully considered the legal requirements, answered my questions clearly, and kept me updated at every stage. Her attention to detail and proactive approach gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled correctly. What particularly impressed me was how efficiently everything was dealt with. Faye arranged the notarisation, apostille and courier service, keeping all parties informed and ensuring the document reached its destination as quickly as possible. Professional, approachable and genuinely helpful, Faye went above and beyond to assist me. I would not hesitate to recommend her services and will certainly use her again in the future if the need arises. Thank you, Faye.
