The mission of this legal support network is to provide quality legal support services by experienced professionals to attorneys and other members of the legal community. Although our goal is to work with members of the legal community, we do offer some services to members of the public. All notary public and process server services are offered to members of the public.
This network of legal support professionals is run by volunteers who want to network with other professionals. Membership is voluntary. There are no dues or fees payable to the Massachusetts Notary Public & Legal Support Network by the individual members. Nor does the network pay individual members for services rendered. Instead, the clients that contract with us are responsible for paying the individual members.
For instance, if a law firm calls and requests a document to be served in Essex county, the "primaries" will call a member from Essex county and request that he or she serve the document. All fee's owed to the individual member for serving the document will be payable by the law firm requesting the service.

NOTICE: We are not a national apostille service.
We assist people, colleges, schools, universities, and businesses who need a Massachusetts Apostille for a notarized or certified document originating from Massachusetts.
We can also obtain certification and/or authentication from the U.S. Department of State on your behalf upon request.
Ensure the Certification and/or Apostille is for the correct country receiving the document(s).

REMINDER: We're a mobile support network.
This means we will travel to your designated location.
Also, some paralegal support services are only offered to attorneys licensed to practice law and not the general public (i.e., investigations).
All notary public and process server services are available to the public because the law frowns on any public servant who is unwilling to serve the public when a lawful request is made and the appropriate fees are tendered.
The preferred way to contact us is by email.
