A professional legal interpreter is an invaluable resource in any face-to-face legal situation, communicating your meaning to clients, and vice versa. And in courts, certified legal interpreters play an essential role in ensuring that justice is done. Certified Legal Interpreters are human bridges. They step in whenever people speaking different languages need to communicate with each other about complicated issues. They are trained to carry ideas from one language to another – accurately and efficiently. The Language Exchange has been providing certified legal interpreters to the legal communities of Western Washington State since 1986.
The Language Exchange facilitates access to legal services. We provide certified legal interpreters to the following counties: Skagit County, Whatcom County, Snohomish County, King County, Pierce County, Island County and San Juan County.
“It has been my pleasure to work with Julie in my capacity at Jefferson County Superior Court Administrator and Interpreter Coordinator over the last year. I appreciate how quickly she responds to my requests made via telephone and/or email and the fact that she always manages to provide an interpreter on even the shortest of notice. I also appreciate her willingness to do business by email which makes my job easier. I feel that Julie goes above and beyond in her attempts to keep one interpreter assigned to a case for the life of the case rather than the parties dealing with a different interpreter at each court hearing. I know that it isn’t always possible but when it is she makes it happen. Last but not least she is very nice and it is a pleasure doing business with her.”
~ Michelle Moore – Court Administrator – Superior Court
“The Language Exchange provides an easy mechanism for scheduling interpreters via the Internet e-mail system. They quickly respond once they receive the electronic request and send a verification e-mail once an interpreter has been scheduled. All dealings with The Language Exchange Inc. have been responsive and professional.”
~ Delilah G. – Superior Court Administrator – Superior Court of the State of Washington
The Language Exchange also offers continuing education courses for interpreters who already are certified. Regina McDougall, the interpreter program manager for the state courts office, said the courses are “on point.” “They’ve been an incredibly valuable partner for us because they are regularly offering those continuing education classes,” McDougall said.
