    The company that I work for bought property, and needed a real estate lawyer/notary. Kitty Lam and people in her office were helpful throughout the whole process. They didn't get impatient when we had to call back a few times to confirm things.

    What I liked best was that the agreement between the notary and us was written in a friendly tone, not cold lawyer-speak. Everything went smoothly.

    Boy, I never knew finding a reputable notary that won't rip you off was one of the most time-consuming things I would ever do.

    I'm in the process of applying for a work visa for another country, and needed to get some medical documents notarized. But not only that... after getting those documents notarized, I had to get those notaries notarized by an office in Victoria (you still with me?). It was a complicated, multi-step process, and I assumed one of the many notaries in Vancouver would be able to help me out.

    I called 15-20 notaries in the area, and I must say, I wasn't impressed. I won't name specific firms here, but many of the notaries I talked to had no idea what I was talking about. Think about that... a public notary who has no idea how to handle... a notary! Then, those who did know about the process offered me conflicting advice, then tried to charge me upwards of $400 to file the forms. Uh... no thanks.

    Having lost all faith in the world of notaries, I finally I found Kitty Lam Notary Corporation, conveniently located in the heart of downtown on Robson and Burrard. Ms. Kitty Lam, who has a small yet welcoming office in the Burrard Building's 12th floor, was very friendly and talked me through the process in a very simple, to-the-point matter (despite the fact I made a very last-minute appointment). She had me in and out of the office in less than 20 minutes, and charged me a fraction of what the other firms quoted. Kitty Lam gets a solid 4/5 stars... I'll withhold the last star because, well, it's never fun to deal with lawyers.

    One note, though, she took cash only, but there is an ATM located in the main lobby.

Map location is approximate. Help us map it!
