I highly recommend James if you require legal advice, especially when time is of the essence. I needed help with a complex matter relating to property purchase, and within an hour of contacting James, I was able to meet him and discuss the issues and have him explain my options with clear references to the applicable law …
… James continued to work on the matter afterwards and explain my situation and options by the end of the same day. I had not met a lawyer before who was as fast and ready to help as James. It was a great experience to work with him.
Before Blue Ocean Law Group℠ can complete your property transaction we need you to organise a webVOI / Remote VOI + [Face-to-Face] Verification of your Identity.
As a general guide please be prepared to show your current (unexpired):
✅ Passport;
✅ Drivers Licence (DL); +
✅ A Utility Bill for the current address on your DL.
Note: If for any reason you don't have the above identity paperwork, before you decide your preferred alternative for conducting the VOI, you will first need to spend the time to review and gather originals or certified copies of the complete list of alternative identity paperwork noting the associated points until you reach the minimum required level of 100 points.
