Why Choose Us
Legal
In police work, improper communication of an individual’s rights can result in reversal of sentences. In courts. innocent people have been convicted and guilty parties set free due to incompetent interpreting.
Healthcare
Interpreting reduces costs by improving doctor-patient communication. Using untrained relatives or staff can have catastrophic consequences.
Business
Interpreting benefits your bottom line by bringing everyone on board. Relying on well-meaning but untrained volunteers or staff is a huge waste of human and financial resources.
As a certified Spanish court and medical interpreter, Jason possesses an educated, native-like mastery of both English and Spanish; displays a wide general knowledge, characteristic of what a graduate degree at a university would provide; and performs the three major types, or “modes,” of interpreting – sight translation, consecutive interpreting, and simultaneous interpreting – with precision.
