Things to consider when choosing a non-specialized legal interpreter:

- Can the interpreter deal with the specialized language of judges and

  attorneys, as well as with the street slang of witnesses and the technical 

  jargon of expert witnesses and police officers?

- Will the interpreter's ability meet the level of expertise required for this

  profession, a level of expertise that goes beyond everyday bilingual

  conversation, with specialized training, education & experience?

- Does the interpreter have the emotional intelligence required for this

  profession? 

Sometimes the testimony to be interpreted is shocking or traumatic. The interpreter must be able to deal with such situations without becoming emotionally involved or affected.  The interpreter must be able to refrain from expressing personal opinions and must work unobtrusively.  We are your Chicago Interpreter of choice.  See our credentials for details.
