Customer Feedback

Customer Review

"Very happy with the service, I needed documents sent abroad from a courthouse outside their normal working area. They were very helpful and even though the courthouse was in western MA they got my documents apostled and sent to me in the UK in a weeks time. Excellent service and very prompt communications!!"

Excellent service! I submitted an online inquiry via the website, and the company were in touch with me via email very soon after on the same day. It is remarkable how efficient and effective they were. Emails were clear, concise and very professional. It was very fast service. Everything was done in a couple of days and with good communication at every step of the way. I am very impressed and happy with the service I received. I fully recommend Massachusetts Document Retrieval to anyone.
