Request three certificates, including the divorce certificate, and apostilles for each one. Mr. Olivencia got them and apostilled them in an efficient and professional way. I thank you for your great experience and knowledge which were remarkable. He was always courteous and kept me up to date throughout the process. I am very happy and satisfied-highly recommended.
