Legal And Other Services
At Walk-In Notary we do one thing very well. Notarize documents. That’s all we do. However, people often like our service so much that they ask us if we also do other things, like prepare wills or translate documents. The bad news is that we don’t. In particular, we do not provide legal advice at Walk-In Notary. The good news it that we know people that do. Please review some of these service providers below.
