Why a Court-Certified Interpreter

In a deposition, hearing, or trial, the interpreter is part of the record. A bilingual employee or an uncertified interpreter can introduce error, compromise testimony, and open the door to a challenge on appeal. A court-certified interpreter has passed the Judicial Council of California or federal court examination and is bound by the ethical canons that protect the proceeding.

Kaplan assigns certified interpreters dialect-matched to your witness, with backup coverage built in, so the record holds up and the matter is never delayed by a no-show.
