Los Angeles interpreting and translation questions
Do AMS interpreters work in LA Superior Court and federal court?
Yes. AMS supplies certified court interpreters to LA Superior Court, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and U.S. Immigration Court. Our court interpreters hold California Court Interpreter Program certification and, where applicable, federal certification (FCICE) for Spanish or court-registered status in other languages.
How fast can AMS schedule an interpreter in Los Angeles?
Availability depends on language, location, and timing. Call our office at (800) 919-2029 and we will confirm what is available for your date. For emergency hospital or after-hours legal matters, call (800) 919-2029.
What languages are most common in Los Angeles?
Spanish is by far the largest. After Spanish, AMS handles regular volume in Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, Korean, Armenian, Farsi (Persian), Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Russian. The LA basin has the largest Armenian, Korean, and Farsi-speaking populations in the United States, so AMS maintains deeper benches in those languages than most agencies.

Yes. AMS supplies RID-certified American Sign Language interpreters and qualified Mexican Sign Language interpreters across the LA basin for legal, medical, and business settings. Same-day coverage is available for ER and short-notice legal matters.
Can AMS do video remote interpreting (VRI) for Los Angeles assignments?
Yes. VRI is available for telehealth, remote depositions, and any matter where on-site interpreting is not practical. AMS supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Doxy.me, and most other major platforms. Same-day VRI is available; call our office to set it up.
