I had asked for help with the small task to change a title of a business after I paid off the mortgage. I dropped off the papers and they said they'd get right to it. 6 months later, I called and they said, 'yes, it's on our desk right now'. 6 months later, I decided to just give up on them. It's now been 1.5 years and no response.

She held back funds of my house sale without cause. After countless requests, including proof and nothing has been provided. No communication, no effort what-so-ever. Repeat actions like this demonstrates a questionable or crooked operator. After posting my review, she has finally returned my money. What a sloppy hasbin.. This is an expensive way of doing business Shirley. How about TAKING LESS & charging more and paying your employees more so your operations are correct?

Shirley has more work than she can handle. She dropped the ball on a mortgage refinance, which caused us significant problems when we tried to sell the same property 2 months later. Shirley stopped responding to emails, phone calls and voice messages. It was only when I threatened to report her to the Notary society that we got some action from her.
