PROS: Quick communication. Completed the task expediently. CONS: Deciphering what was being referred to on the website when needing the proper classification wasn't clear. Had to delve through your unfamiliar territory. But managed. OVERALL: Got the job done swiftly and the end result was satisfactory. Will use again.
Thank you!

The staff of DEEDS.COM is in a class of excellence all by themselves! From my own personal experience, I had multiple problems with some documents I was submitting. DEEDS.COM stayed with me and held my hand through the project until it was completed! I have never met the staff at DEEDS, but their personal service & professionalism make me feel like part of the DEEDS Family! If I ever need legal documents submitted to government agencies nationwide ever again, THE ONLY STOP ONLINE I WILL MAKE WILL BE DEEDS.COM!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

These products would be more useful if they final deed could be copied and pasted into a word document for proper formatting. Because most of the document is protected against selecting and copying, I did not find it useful. I would not purchase again.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
