Attorneys prefer our Legal Interpreter Services

Our clients have made Professional Linguistics a leader in the translation industry because of our expertise and reputation in a legal setting. All of our legal interpreters are trained on courtroom etiquette, depositions, hearings, and legal ethics to eliminate any chance for a legal problem due to interpreter failures.

Online billing, scheduling, and accounting system for interpreting services

Here's where we're very different from the rest of our competition. We have a fully customized advanced billing, accounting, and scheduling system that ensures our interpreters are on time exactly where you need them. Late interpreters cost everyone money, so we reduce the chance for scheduling errors and offer reminder phone calls to everyone within 24 hours of their appointments. Professional Linguistics enjoys a near perfect on-time rating and rarely a missed appointment, which is well above our competition.

Consecutive and Simultaneous Interpreting

Don't take the chance of getting an interpreter without the skills needed to properly interpret in a legal setting. Our simultaneous interpreters are trained to speak while you're speaking, directly into the person's ear with minimal disruption. This is the preferred method of interpretation in a legal setting, however it is beneficial at times to switch to consecutive interpreting as required. With Professional Linguistics, you ensure that both styles are covered when scheduling a legal interpreter.
 

Audio Equipment

Although optional, we recommend using our audio interpreting equipment at your event. These specialized devices are used to allow non-English speaking persons to privately hear the interpretation audio with minimal disruption to the event. Professional quality equipment for our interpreter and up to 7 listeners are available in both daily or weekly rental charges.

Simultaneous Interpretation Equipment

Using this equipment, our interpreters can employ the simultaneous interpretation process to allow people to communicate directly across language and cultural boundaries. This specialized technology uses a transmitter on the interpreter to provide the interpretation to your guests. The interpretation is broadcast via a wireless system to the users who listen on small receivers with earphones. The receivers are multi-channel so the users can select the channel that corresponds to the language that they wish to hear.

Whisper Interpretation

While in the same room or a nearby area with an audio feed, the interpreter whispers into a microphone while your guests listen on personal receivers from anywhere within range of the transmitter (up to 150 feet or 46 meters). This type of interpretation is ideal for a courtroom setting, corporate meetings, or community service groups where maximum flexibility is required.

Quality Interpreters

Our interpreters are highly skilled bilingual (or multilingual) professionals.  Based on the characteristics of each task, our interpreters are carefully selected for each job.  This ensures we get the right area of expertise and the highest linguistic quality for each assignment that we provide.
