I've gone to Charlene through my entire immigration process for notarised copies and have had nothing but kind, helpful, and sincerely nice people help me from this notary. They've gone well above and beyond for me.

I have had the opportunity of working with Charlene several times. She provides excellent service, is knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain everything. I recommend her to everyone that needs a Notary.

Extremely poor experience. She could not perform the legal services I hired her for and still charged me. I had to hire a lawyer to get my money back from her.
