The right translation service can help attorneys do their jobs. Lawyers work on behalf of their clients who are experiencing some of the most challenging times of their lives – for example, in a divorce or when their freedom is on the line. Effective communication between the lawyer and the client is essential, but it is usually impossible if the client speaks little to no English.
An attorney has the legal authority to act on the client’s behalf. Without clear communication, it becomes incredibly difficult to provide clients with the best advice. Worse yet, misunderstandings can put the client in an undesirable situation and land the attorney in disciplinary trouble.
High-quality translation services eliminate the language barrier, which is essential to helping lawyers provide the best possible services for their clients who are relying on them. Without a certified interpreter, a lawyer cannot possibly provide competent representation to non-English speaking clients.
The certified translator ensures that both attorney and client understand each other perfectly. For example, a client who has been arrested needs to understand exactly what the charges against them are, what rights they have, and how the judicial process works. For foreign nationals and even recent immigrants, this is especially critical, as they are likely unfamiliar with the details of the criminal justice system in the United States.
Also, the non-English speaking client will be able to describe the events in detail through a certified translator. Even the smallest details of the events that led to the charges, the arrest, and the seizure of any property are incredibly important to a client’s defense. The certified translator enables the lawyer to gather as much valuable information as possible with the help of.
