I found this company when I needed Legal help with U.S. documents after my baby sister's passing. Many Solicitors firms at a very distressing time, came across as dismissive and were money orientated. That is why anyone is in business however, this company was reasonable and couldn't have been more helpful before discussing money. Alis used all the tools available to communicate to me how CWJ would and could help me and Andrew made me feel at ease regarding a set of document signing that was completely alien to me.

Notary for Wedding Documents

5

Used CWJ on recommendation of a friend who is retired solicitor for another company and wasn’t disappointed. Our wedding being in another country required documentation to be notarised and have apostille applied and CWJ (Alis) assisted us through the process efficiently with great insight and knowledge of what was required.

From day one we received the slickest most professional service from CWJ. Nothing was too much of a problem and they delivered with ease and great communication

Notary of the Public

5

I had some papers which needed to be notarised and carried out a google search for a Notary of the Public in Bromley and the surrounding areas.

A total of 2 companies were short-listed in close proximity to my home and CWJ came in at a much more reasonable cost than the second firm and have to add the service was efficient and very professional.

CWJ explained the process of getting a document notarised (as this is priced per each 'document' which needs to be signed.

The whole process took est 30 minutes and was able to pay by card once the documents were notarised.

There are parking bays close to CWJ offices, but generally no free parking during working hours as far as I could see.

CWJ also offer other services from wills, inheritance tax planning, retirement planning, buying and selling houses and dealing with other family issues.

Very professional company/staff. Recommended and I would also use their services again.

I required several documents to be notarised and found the service at CWJ to be excellent. Alis and the team were very helpful and responsive to my requirements.

I was delighted to find one agency in the heart of Orpington, Kent as I was desperate. A special power of attorney was required urgently in order for my Dad to sort out things from abroad. I was even nervous to contact CWJ because I have not done one in this country. I have done one previously but this was in our own embassy but now they do not have that service. Fortunately, when I emailed, Alis responded very on time, which was very encouraging. I called her and has made an appointment the closest I could have. Arrived at their office, the lady in the reception was very welcoming, met Alis who was very welcoming too! The place makes you relax but I cannot as I have never met a solicitor or someone with this kind of position. I don't know why but that was my feeling. Then I met Mr. Andrew and has said you looked nervous. Yes I said because my Dad wants the SPA ASAP. He actually calmed me down when we shook hands and explained my purpose. After that, he reassured that it wont be long you. We will let you go as soon as the reception have completed everything I waited for about 10 mins. Afterwards, Alis even directed me to post this via DHL only, the safest way, which I did. And today, it is already on my Dad's hands, just exactly in time! I am very grateful for all your assistance! Excellent service!

Very happy with the service. Professional, friendly and understanding of my requirements. Alis was very helpful from my initial enquiry and provided great support throughout. Andrew completed the task without fuss, which gave me great confidence.

I had the pleasure of working with Alis Ahmedova for the certification of a legal document on behalf of my client, and her service was truly exceptional. She ensured everything was handled promptly and efficiently. I would highly recommend both Alis and Clarkson Wright & Jakes Notaries LLP for their professionalism and excellent service.
