After speaking with multiple translation offices, I selected CBS Translation. They seemed very much trustworthy. Whey they delivered my order, they proved me right. I was more than satisfied. They delivered exactly on the committed date, all pages very professionally formatted, and they even delivered the hard copies directly to my lawyer's office. Communication and customer service were smooth and professional. Their pricing was reasonable, clearly explained, no long discussions, no hidden fees. It was a totally dependable service. I will definitely come back to them if I am asked more documents, and I absolutely recommend CBS to my circle.

When first trying to obtain a quote, Darren offered a phenomenal deal and replied in good time. I had a personal family project, so I had to make sure we were financial able too. Once the green light was given financially, I contacted Darren again. He did not reply for weeks. When he did, he apologized and said my emails went into spam. EVEN though I left a voice message with my info. When he contacted me back, I had questions on process since my project was not a typical short business document. Responses were good until I forwarded the full document for him to properly estimate the cost, per his request. I never heard from him again even after emailing and calling. I was eager to use his service because of the cost, but with this lack of professionalism after given my full personal translating project is un-nerving. I am now using another translation service that is significantly higher in cost, BUT at least responds and provided me a process outline.

Instead of navigating government offices downtown or waiting at limited DMV locations, you can simply make an appointment here and get it done without the hassle. Verdict Express Apostille & Notary Services makes a traditionally inconvenient process unbelievably smooth. Great communication, efficient service, reasonable pricing, and the convenience of both notary and apostille offerings in one place. Five stars and highly recommended for anyone needing document services in Chicago.

As a result, the discount was unnoticeable, I had to pay for almost the whole service and I was not satisfied because the new order was not needed at all, and the only purpose was not to lose all my money.
