Why people come to me
Говорим по-русски. We speak English.
Legal words are hard enough in your first language. If Russian is the language you actually think in, you should not have to fight through an Ontario form in English — or bring a relative along to translate for you.
- Your appointment runs in Russian or English — whichever you prefer.
- Documents explained in Russian, prepared correctly in English for Ontario.
- No interpreter needed, and nothing lost between the two.
How it works
Four steps, no mystery
Most people call not knowing what they need. That is normal — working it out is part of the job.
-
Call or write
Tell me in a sentence or two what you are dealing with. A lot of questions can be settled on the phone in a few minutes.
-
Book a time
Fast appointments are available. We find a time that suits you rather than one that suits an office calendar.
-
Bring your documents
You get a short list of exactly what to bring — photo ID, the forms, anything already signed. No guessing, no second trip.
-
Signed, sealed, done
Your documents are sworn, certified or filed, and you leave knowing what happens next and when.
Why work with me
- Your questions are answered by the person actually doing the work.
- Plain answers before you commit to anything.
- Russian and English, equally — not one served through the other.
- Based in Newmarket, serving York Region and the GTA.

Irene Jabotinskia/Notary Public & Paralegal
No call centre, no junior passing your file along. The person who answers the phone is the person who reviews your documents, explains what Ontario needs and signs off on the work.
If your first language is Russian, use it. Legal words are hard enough in the language you actually think in — you should not have to fight through an Ontario form in English, or bring a relative along to translate for you.
Questions
Before you call
The things people ask first. If yours is not here, ask it on the phone — asking costs nothing.
Do I need an appointment?
It is best. Call and we will usually find you a slot quickly — fast appointments are available, and most notarial work is finished in one short visit.
What do I need to bring?
Valid government-issued photo ID for everyone who is signing, and the document itself — unsigned. Do not sign it beforehand: an affidavit or a statutory declaration has to be signed in front of the notary. If you are unsure, call first and I will tell you exactly what to bring.
What is the difference between a notary public and a commissioner for taking affidavits?
A commissioner can administer oaths and take affidavits and declarations for use in Ontario. A notary public can do that and also certify true copies of documents and witness signatures — which is what most documents leaving Ontario, or leaving Canada, require.
Can you help if my documents are in Russian?
Yes — we can go through everything in Russian, and I will tell you plainly which documents need a certified translation before an Ontario office or court will accept them. A notary certifies signatures and copies; a notary does not translate them.
Do you deal with the Landlord and Tenant Board for landlords as well as tenants?
Both. N4, N5 and N12 notices, applications, rent arrears and the hearing itself all run on strict timelines at the LTB — a notice served on the wrong day can cost you months. It is much better to call early than late.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the document and the work behind it, so I would rather quote you honestly than publish a number that turns out to be wrong. Call or send a message describing what you need, and you will have a clear price before anything starts.
Ready when you are
Call and get a straight answer.
Tell me what you are dealing with. If I can help, I will say so and tell you what it takes. If I cannot, I will tell you who can.
