What’s the difference between a translator and an interpreter?
While these terms are often used interchangeably, they are different. A translator converts written material from one language to another. An interpreter, however, converts spoken language back and forth between two languages, usually in a live setting. I’ve been doing both for over 20 years. Learn more.

“Ms. Hay translated to perfection under extremely tight timelines. She served as a true partner to our team. Her responsiveness and accommodating nature rivaled that of the best lawyers I have ever worked with.”
Translation
When you represent a Russian-speaking client, chances are, you will need documents translated into English. These include email and text message communications, agreements, various records, etc. I provide certified translation of original Russian documents for the purposes of litigation.
Here are a few examples of the types of documents I regularly translate for my clients:
- Indictments, plea agreements, PSI reports, sentencing memoranda
- Court rulings, motions, trial transcripts, appellate briefs, legal opinions
- Business contracts, shareholder meeting minutes, corporate charters, financial charts, bank orders
- Forensic expert reports (handwriting analysis, appraisals, postmortem, coroner reports)
- Driver’s license, diplomas, college transcripts, military records
- Birth, adoption, marriage, divorce and death certificates
- Medical records: diagnostic studies, immunization charts, treatment notes
- Research and scientific publications
Transcription
I transcribe and translate audio and video recordings using transcription equipment. These typically include undercover recordings, investigation interviews, phone conversations and other recordings.
