Totally different attitude
first time met him, James Fraser, for legal advice to write a will, he looks nice, friendly, talkative and let me feel it's the right lawyer I am looking for.
second time met him, which is today, to pay him, Oh My Goodness, after they got the payment which is in cash, and I was asking some clarification on the receipt, he jumped out and talked like a crazy people, no more decent, very very bad and aggressive attitude and wording. I do not want any trouble with a lawyer, so I left.
think one more second before use the services. Not only the charge is expensive, the

Quoted me double for a very basic notary transaction i.e. will - well over double that of any other Notary. Shop around.
