We offer free interpreting services to prosecuting and private attorneys, child protective service providers, family justice centers, or any agencies that provide legal services or support.

 

Our advocates can also provide assistance to Deaf victims filing an ex parte, requesting full orders of protection, filing crime victims compensation, and any Deaf victim needing ongoing legal support throughout the criminal justice process.
