Legal proceedings in the U.S. are often complex and so called “legalese” can be difficult even for native English speakers to understand. For those who have limited English proficiency or who are deaf or hard of hearing, going through the legal process is daunting.
It is very important for anyone dealing with legal matters to have a good understanding of what is going on and what is expected of them.
At Metaphrasis, we can help those with limited English proficiency and those who are hard of hearing in the Chicago, IL area and throughout the U.S. with our legal translation services. Our professional translators and court interpreters can provide document translation of important legal documents and accompany clients in court, depositions, and interviews.
Our court translators and interpreters are familiar with legal terminology to ensure accurate translations and thorough understanding.
