Los Angeles Legal Interpreter Questions

Are your interpreters certified for LA Superior Court?

Yes. Our legal interpreters hold California court interpreter certifications and are registered with the Judicial Council of California. They are familiar with LA Superior Court procedures across all departments, including the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, and all branch courts throughout LA County.

The most requested languages for legal proceedings in Los Angeles include Spanish (Mexican, Guatemalan, Salvadoran, Honduran dialects), Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Armenian, Farsi, Arabic, Japanese, Russian. LA's diverse population means we regularly handle rare and indigenous languages, including Mixteco, K'iche', Mam, and Zapotec, which are critical for immigration cases.

Yes. Being headquartered in the LA area, we can deploy legal interpreters within 24-48 hours for most languages, and often same-day for Spanish. For complex or rare language depositions, we recommend 72 hours' notice for optimal matching. Check availability or call (833) 547-7770.
