About AMS

Twenty-five years of trusted language solutions.

Since 1999, Access Multilingual Services has grown into a trusted, nationwide network of certified legal and medical interpreters. Law firms, hospitals, insurers, and government agencies across the country count on us when the matter is important and the language is hard.

Our story

Founded in 1999 with a simple idea: that professional interpreting and translation should be available when it is needed, delivered by qualified linguists, and held to the same standard of care as the matters it supports.

Over two and a half decades, that idea has carried us from a small team in Los Angeles to one of the most relied-upon language partners on the West Coast and beyond. Today our network spans thousands of certified interpreters and translators, with offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas serving clients nationwide.

What has not changed is the way we work: thoughtful matching of linguist to assignment, a second set of eyes on translation work, and a team that treats your urgency as our own.

Our commitment

Members of our highly trained staff act as your primary contact and are fully responsive to your questions and concerns from first call to final invoice. You will know who is handling your matter, and you will be able to reach them.

Our success is built on customer satisfaction. Referrals and word of mouth drive our growth, not advertising spend. That means every project carries weight; every interaction is an opportunity to keep a client for the next decade.

It is a model that has served us, and our clients, for twenty-five years and counting.

What sets us apart

Three things our clients can count on, every time.

Built for accuracy

Every translation is reviewed by a second native-level linguist before delivery, and interpreters are matched to subject-matter expertise. No corners cut.

Built for urgency

Short-notice scheduling, after-hours coverage, and last-minute substitutions are part of our standard offering. When something has to happen today, we are who you call.

Built for discretion

Sensitive legal proceedings and confidential medical matters require interpreters who understand the stakes. Our linguists work with that standard in mind, every time.

Quality assurance, every project

Each translation project is reviewed before delivery by a second native-level linguist with deep familiarity with multicultural context. No work goes out the door without a second set of qualified eyes.
