We are committed to providing accessible and supportive legal and mediation services to every client. If you or your co-parent speaks a language other than English, we offer optional access to certified interpreter services for your mediation or legal consultation sessions.
When Interpreter Services Are Available
Interpreter services can be added for:
-
Mediation sessions (remote or in-person)
-
Legal consultations and planning meetings
-
Preparation for parenting agreements or divorce documents
-
Court appearance preparation or document review
These services are entirely optional and must be requested in advance.
How Interpreter Services Work
We coordinate with third-party providers such as LanguageLine Solutions to provide certified interpretation in over 240 languages. Services are offered via:
-
📞 Audio interpretation (by phone)

🎥 Video interpretation (via secure Zoom link)
You may request either method depending on your comfort level and technology access.

Interpreter services are billed separately and are not included in our hourly or flat fee rates for mediation or legal services. These fees will be disclosed and approved in writing before any session.
