Jack Robert Hales Jr.

Someone recommended Jack Hales to me when I needed some deeds transferred. Mr. Hales did eventually get the transfers done, but the deeds he originally sent me to sign and have notarized did not even get grantor's name right -- as though they had been largely cut and pasted from unrelated deeds. In... addition, an associated affidavit needed to be updated with recent events, but in doing so Mr. Hales also altered facts which were correct in the original affidavit and which had nothing to do with the needed updates. Once those issues were straightened out, Mr. Hales emailed me that he would let me know when he got the paperwork back from me, but he did not. A week or so after I got FedEx confirmation that he had signed for the paperwork, I checked with him and he said (emailed) that all the deeds had been filed, including one which was filed electronically and thus should have been recorded pretty much immediately. When 10 days passed without any word I called the county clerk's office for the county which took electronic submissions, and they denied having received anything, so I called Mr. Hales -- had to leave a voice message -- about my call to the clerk's office. Mr. Hales did not return my call. A couple of days later when I finally got in touch with him, he insisted everything had been filed and made excuses entirely blaming the various counties. Skipping ahead (this review has gone on long enough) when the deeds finally where recorded I spoke again to the county clerk's office and got some specifics which didn't seem to fit what Mr. Hales had told me. When I confronted Mr. Hales with those specifics he gave me a different explanation than he had originally given me -- maybe true this time, maybe not, I don't know. So, yes, the work got done, but I am disappointed in Mr. Hales.
