Outstanding Service from JuridConsult Legal Services

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to JuridConsult Legal Services, especially Ms. Diana Liepa and her team, for their exceptional assistance throughout my document legalisation process for use in Kenya.

From the very beginning, the communication was professional, prompt, and clear. Every step of the process was carefully explained to me, including the legalisation requirements, expected timelines, costs, and documentation needed. Whenever I had questions, I received detailed guidance and support, both by email and WhatsApp, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process.

Ms. Diana Liepa demonstrated remarkable patience, professionalism, and attention to detail. She kept me informed at every stage, ensured all requirements were met, and provided updates whenever necessary. The team handled the legalisation and attestation efficiently and delivered exactly what was promised.

What impressed me most was their transparency, excellent customer service, and willingness to go the extra mile to help. The entire process was smooth, well-organised, and stress-free despite the urgency of my situation.

I highly recommend JuridConsult Legal Services to anyone requiring legalisation, attestation, apostille, or international document services. Their expertise, reliability, and customer care are truly outstanding.

Thank you once again to Ms. Diana Liepa and the entire JuridConsult team for your excellent work and support. You have my highest recommendation and a well-deserved 5-star rating.

Very efficient service and value for money too.
I was quoted a ridiculous price from another company for the legalisation of documents, hence I looked around and found these guys.
Once I sent my documents to them, they were quick to get them through the system and returned in a matter of days.
I would definitely use them again.

As a non-European resident traveling with two family members, I experienced a long and complex journey. The entire process was managed with exceptional professionalism, making each stage smooth and well-organized. While I trust the Dutch system is inherently efficient, I truly believe that such a seamless experience would not have been possible without the expert guidance and management we received. I highly recommend delegating responsibilities to professionals who truly understand their work—you won’t regret it.

Be careful with this company, I sent the documents and there is no contact with them. Nobody answers the phone and they do not respond to WhatsApp messages. They also change the prices, I received a different price over the phone and after sending the documents I got a double price. They wrote good references themselves!!!

JuridConsult has helped me a lot. They work fast and professionally to legalize my diploma. The price was affordable, and, most importantly, they told me the price in advance, and there was no hidden price. They worked directly after the diploma arrived and helped me find the best shipment back to my country. I highly recommend Juridconsult for the legalization of your document.

Luis and his team deserve 5 starts! We found them through youtube when I was puzzled with all rules and regulations for my apostille for my birthcertificate which I needed very fast! His movies explained easily what it was, and what needed to be done. We decided to make use of his services, there are many providers but all of them request you sending your birth certificate across seas. I didnt feel comfortable with this but with Luis he accepted a photocopy and organized everything for us within 3 days! I was very amazed by the quickness and the updates from his side. The price was also the best price which I could find on the internet with the best service.

I needed to get a police clearance report (VOG) with apostille. The communication before the process started was very clear, and conducted in a friendly an efficient manner. After a very short verification that I filled the forms correctly, the process was underway. Everything proceeded as promised, and the document was delivered to me within a very reasonable period of time. I'm very thankful for the excellent service JuridConsult provided me with. I would certainly use their services in the future if needed.
