  • Help with mother’s birth certificate

    We hired Mr. Colby to help obtain and correct our mother’s birth certificate, grandmother’s death certificate, and more. We needed it all to be certified, apostilled and translated. Most of us are intimidated by hiring lawyers. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was incredibly responsive, communicated clearly, and completed the work efficiently. There were no surprises or hidden costs, despite a lot of complexity to our situation. I recommend him unreservedly. Read more
