It would be nice to get a reply in a small window that says "Your request package has been submitted." That way I can log out and wait for the email. I do love the efficient service.

Poor communication. Confusing charges. (Waiting for explanation) overall, not thrilled and at this point would not recommend.

Sorry to hear of your confusion. We've gone ahead and canceled your order. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.

I called the county clerk office yesterday that i wanted to get a deed e-filed and recorded. I was told they are not accepting documents in person because of the COVID 19 pandemic that I have to mail it. I found Deeds.com online and in less than 24hrs i have my document. Thank you!!!!! $15....Totally worth it.
