Totally Notary

Wish I could give Helen TEN stars! She is very responsive, arranged for us to meet promptly at her office, and did a thorough job of reviewing my documents to make sure they were filled out correctly and completely. She completely explained answers to all of my questions, and she went the «extra mile» to make things easier for me. This is a much more professional and low-​stress option compared to chain-​store notaries who offer the service in addition to their main business. Thank you Helen! Strongly recommend «Totally Notary».

I had to notarize a few documents and Helen did a great job with them. As I was new to this process, she also explained the entire process very patiently and politely. Highly recommended!

Totally Notary is a phenomenal service. Helen was extremely polite for me calling her on a Sunday. I needed some documents notarized for a monday appointment and she DELIVERED on a Sunday. Obviously, there was a rush service but its hard to find good customer service on days off. This is how I would run a business and Helen does exactly that. She treats you with respect, is extremely professional and she is on time. She delivered so, I am delivering with this five star review. Thanks Helen!

I called Helen in the afternoon needing some last-​minute notary assistance for a real estate sale out of state. I was stuck at home with two small kids, so she not only came to the house at 8:45 PM, but also waived her travel fee. Then when it turned out my husband had printed the closing documents double-​sided, Helen went back to her office, printed the stuff for us correctly, and then came *back* to our house to get everything signed. She’s amazing, very efficient, quick, and kind!

Helen is polite, patient and explains the facts quite appropriately even when I asked the same thing thrice (about getting my toddlers birth cert notarized), Impressive !!!
She was very patient with my 3 yr old and her keenness to explore the printers, copiers, etc. at her office.
Ensure to talk to Helen about the location since its a bit hidden at dark.

After checking Unilocal for a notary, I found Helen at the top of the list. I called her. She missed my call. While I was talking to other notaries and not having much success getting copies of few pages of my US passport notarized, I got a call from Helen. I called her back and explained the situation. My concern was that a copy stapled to a notary form stating it is a true copy can be replaced quite easily. For that reason it might not be acceptable overseas.
Helen listened to me and explained everything. She told me that it was possible to notarize the copy on the same page with correct wording. So the image of passport pages and the wording will be on the same page. I inserted the right text in the right format and it was notarized. She even has an embossed seal which when imprinted is impossible to digitally manipulate. Even if a copy is stapled, that embossed seal guarantees it was notarized by her.
For her patience and willingness to work with me, 5 stars.

I too found Totally Notary through Unilocal.
Helen is THE BEST!
I saw her for assistance with foreign documents.
I had to see her a second time as the courts would not accept them. She spent time either on the phone or emailing with my Canadian lawyer in order to understand what was needed. She didn’t charge me for the second visit.
She is very pleasant and knowledgeable.
I would definitely enlist her services again!
Thank you Helen!

Excellent all around. Helen is very professional, and efficient and her rates were very reasonable as well. I highly recommend using Helen for your notary service needs.

Excellent Service. She waited for me more than 20 minutes as I was late. She explained all the questions with calm. Highly recommended.

Helen was wonderful. She helped with DMV issues on a Saturday when my son and I could not get to the DMV during the week. We arrived a little early and she was there and prepared. Fees were reasonable.
Highly recommend!

Wish we could give her 6 stars. Organized, quick, and great prices. If you need a notary, call Helen Wardale.

Helen is great! I needed a Notary on Sunday for my daughter stuck in Virginia for a parking violation. I called Helen and she answered while walking her dog. She was willing to come to the office and notarize a letter for me. That is service.

Helen is awesome. I work at a local school that was doing a Guinness Book of World Records attempt for the most high fives in one minute. I called Helen after finding her on Unilocal to see if she would come to be a witness. She was great and helped us immensely. By the way, we broke the record with 230 high fives!

Great service!!! I needed a last minute document to be notarized… on a Sunday. How difficult is that?! …very difficult. But thank goodness that she was willing to meet me last minute. She is a lifesaver. Although, there was an extra fee for meeting me, but all worth it!!!
I recommend her… friendly, reasonable, professional, and most importantly amazing for meeting with me last minute!!!

Highly recommend Helen Wardale, Notary Public. She is NICE and warm heart, not only notary my document also asked for help fax it. Good job!

We highly recommend Helen Wardale, Notary Public. She met with us at the last minute and on the weekend — when others politely declined. We appreciated her flexibility and great customer service!

Called at 8:00 a.m. on a Sunday was in her office by 9:00. Didn’t have to convince her about how much of a last minute emergency we were in. Helen was nice, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend her. The price was right, too. $ 10 premium for the Sunday appointment, as they don’t usually open on Sundays.

Found them on Unilocal,picked up the phone, drove over (although they will come to you as well), got stuff notarized and paid a reasonable price for friendly, professional service.
If your Unilocal review of your notary looks much different than this, you’re using the wrong notary. Good job, Totally Notary!

Helen is absolutely fantastic. She saved my behind on 2 separate occasions where I desperately needed a notary quickly and I didn’t want to get charged an arm and a leg for my lack of organization & advance preparation.
The first time was when I was driving home at 8 pm on a weekday and realized that I had to have something notarized that night. I desperately looked for a number of notaries on my way home and they were all closed or didn’t pick up their phones. When I called Helen, she picked up immediately and met me at a convenient location on my drive home. I can’t tell you how much time and energy she saved me. I have a 1 ½ hour commute and the last thing I wanted to do was drive around town looking for a notary. This was so convenient, she was seriously heaven sent.
The next time was on a Sunday morning at 9 AM. Again, I realized I needed to have something notarized by noon when my real estate agent was going to pick up the paperwork from my house. Helen was the first person that I called and she met me at my house on a Sunday morning within the hour. On top of that, when she did come over, she was so detail oriented that she found a mistake in paperwork my title company prepared. My husband’s name had been misspelled and neither I, my husband, my real estate agent or the title company had caught! I was able to contact my real estate agent while she was at my house and have the issue resolved in minutes. If she had not caught the issue, I could just imagine the last minute fire drill this could have caused and ruined my Sunday.
The other item I want to point out is her professionalism. I noticed that she showed up on time each time, fully prepared and well dressed. She comes with a briefcase with everything she needs, nicely organized, ready to work. I have worked with other notaries and I can’t tell you how impressed I was with Helen. I am definitely using her in the future and recommending her to my title company. She definitely takes pride in her work.

I found Totally Notary on Unilocal because it’s close to my house. But then I found out that the owner, Helen, offers mobile notary to a lot of areas. I can’t be happier with Helen’s services. She is timely, professional and honest. And something very important to me, she has an embossing seal on top of the regular seal, which not every notary public has. I will definitely call her again when future needs rise.
