They seem to be scam. It seems negative feedback is not allowed in these reviews, so the reviews look unreliable. They claimed they could help English speakers, but they don’t at all. The way I was spoken to on the phone was sooo disrespectful and upsetting. Such a lie and I will be following up through the proper channels for accountability of avoiding service.
As a foreigner with limited legal knowledge and no Dutch, I found the service from Smart Legal exceptional. Lieke's professional and friendly approach was incredibly reassuring throughout. Their fees are also very reasonable compared to other notaries in the area. I’m extremely grateful and couldn’t recommend them enough!
My recent experience with SmartLegal has been great. Of all the notaries I contacted, Lieke was the most responsive and helpful. She replied to my messages usually within minutes and kept the process simple, efficient and at an affordable cost. I made an error in the document and Lieke was kind enough to redo the notarization without charging me extra - a response that was unexpected and much appreciated. I highly recommend Lieke's service to anyone who has a need for notarization.
Great notary where we signed our ’samenlevingscontract ’. Besides fast, good value and high quality service SmartLegal also understand that it is not about reading every page in detail but explaining to people what the essence of a contract is (and can adjust where necessary). Also the late opening hours are a blessing, clear indication they are aware what their customers need. 100% recommend.
They are highly recommended. They listen to what you require and offer value-for-money. They understand that certification requirements in other countries are different to the Netherlands. For instance in South Africa signatures must be with a black pen and all the pages of a contract must be initialized.
