Frequently asked questions
Do you provide court-certified interpreters?
Court proceedings in Minnesota can have specific interpreter qualification requirements. Tell us the court and case type, and we will discuss what is needed and what we can provide.
Can the interpreter explain legal terms or give advice?
No. Interpreters convey what is said between the parties and do not give legal advice, opinions, or explanations of their own. Questions about the law should go to the attorney.
Is what is said in the meeting kept confidential?
Interpreters are trained on confidentiality and privacy standards. Please do not send case details by email or text, and call us if you have questions about how to share information.
Can you translate legal documents?
