    "Having found it difficult to find a notary in the area to handle our Power Of Attorney, allowing our Spanish solicitor to act on our behalf, we found Barton Notary. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with this extremely professional and very likeable person. His knowledge of the law we found exceptional and explained each section in detail, which was easy for the layman to understand and he swiftly dealt with the expedition of the document to our solicitor. Which after only a few days is winging it's way to Spain. We were so pleased with Matt that would never consider using another Notary and would thoroughly recommend him."

    "Matt Barton was incredibly efficient and effective, as well as being thorough and professional. I travelled from Cyprus back to the UK to get an Affidavit, which Matt administered. I literally went from the airport to Matt, completed the formalities and was back at the airport in plenty of time for my flight.
    I needed the document Apostilled, which Matt arranged. I received my documents the following week. Superb service and I will be suggesting using Matt to others as well as using his services for my future requirements.
    My last comment is that I found his prices to be very competitive!"

    "Exceptional service from start to finish.
    I contacted Matthew because I needed a digital notarial certificate for a UK Final Order so that I could obtain an e-Apostille for use abroad. Matthew was outstanding throughout the entire process — professional, knowledgeable, incredibly helpful and exceptionally efficient. What impressed me most was the level of care and communication throughout. I have dealt with many professionals and administrative processes over the years, and Matthew’s service genuinely stood out. I would recommend Barton Notary without hesitation. Thank you, Matthew."
