What Readers Are Saying
The Compassionate Notary is an essential read for any notary serving clients in hospitals, nursing homes, or other medical settings. As the first book of its kind, it fills a critical gap with thoughtful, experience-based guidance. It’s packed with practical tips and real-world scenarios that make navigating sensitive environments feel more manageable and respectful. I highly recommend it for notaries who want to serve vulnerable clients with greater confidence, care, and professionalism.
This book is so much more than a field guide. It’s a masterclass in presence, professionalism, and compassion. I’ve been a mobile notary for years and have worked in hospitals, hospices, and rehab centers countless times, yet I still found myself highlighting sections and wishing I’d had this book a decade ago.
Laura Biewer doesn’t just explain procedures and protocols. She elevates the entire mindset of bedside notarization. If you’ve ever felt unsure about assessing a medicated signer, walked into a facility without knowing where to check in, navigated tense family dynamics, or wondered if you were doing too much or not enough, this book meets you exactly where you are.
Reading it felt like sitting down with a mentor who’s been through it all and still loves the work. I recommend this book to every notary in my circle, especially those building a specialty in medical facilities.
What a great book for both beginner and seasoned notaries. I have been doing hospital and hospice signings for years and still gained so much from it. It’s a wealth of practical information and bedside tips. The appendices were especially helpful. I highly recommend this book.
