Why Kaplan

Deposition Interpretation That Protects the Record

Deposition Specialists, Not Generalists

Verbatim accuracy under oath, consecutive mode discipline, and neutrality under cross-examination pressure. Our deposition interpreters work depositions regularly, not occasionally.

Pre-Session Briefings on Every Assignment

Case exhibits, party names, and specialized vocabulary delivered 48 hours before the deposition. Interpreters arrive prepared, not learning during cross-examination.

Backup Interpreters on Critical Cases

For multi-day or expert witness depositions, we maintain backup interpreters on standby. Last-minute illness or emergency does not derail the case.

FAQs

Common Questions About Deposition Interpretation

How are deposition interpreters different from general legal interpreters?
Deposition interpreters require a specific skill set: verbatim accuracy under oath, courtroom-style consecutive mode, neutrality under cross-examination pressure, and familiarity with deposition protocol. Our deposition specialists have direct experience with civil and commercial depositions, expert witness depositions, and multi-day proceedings, not just generic court work.
Do you provide pre-deposition briefings?
Yes. Interpreters receive pre-session briefings with case exhibits, party names, and specialized vocabulary 48 hours before the deposition. They review witness biographical information, technical terminology specific to the case, and any unique linguistic considerations (dialect, regional vocabulary, idiomatic expressions).
What about video depositions?
We provide deposition interpreters for video depositions on Zoom, court-reporting platforms, and proprietary deposition systems. Interpreters are tested on the platform in advance, audio quality is verified, and we provide backup interpreters on standby for technical contingencies.
Can you cover expert witness depositions in technical fields?
Yes. We deploy specialty-trained interpreters for expert witness depositions in technology, medical malpractice, intellectual property, financial litigation, and engineering matters. The interpreter is matched to the technical subject area, not just the language pair.
How much does a deposition interpreter cost?
Pricing depends on language, dialect, deposition duration, location, and technical complexity. We provide transparent quotes within 4 hours. Check availability or call (833) 547-7770.
