Our Community Legal Interpreter Bank ensures that a language barrier never stands in the way when a low-income person needs legal assistance.

Our Victim Services Interpreter Bank helps to ensure that a language barrier never stands in the way when a victim of crime needs help to recover. Our bank provides assistance with in-person interpretation, translations, and telephonic interpretation.

All of our in-person interpreters are specially-trained on how to work in the legal and/or victim-services setting; our victim services interpreters are also available at all hours of the day and night—every day of the year on a scheduled or emergency basis.
