I have six years of experience translating, interpreting and editing documents from Spanish/English and viceversa. I specialize on legal documents as my background has formed in the legal field. However, I am more than happy to help you with any translation from English to Spanish that you may need. I formed my expertise in editing legal and communicational documents as my former role involved to supervise any documentation to be published on social media or submitted to court. I have had the opportunity to be in contact with persons with different nationalities, which has made me familiar with the cultural lingos and cultural expressions. I have written academic articles that have thought me how to careful edit documents in form and substance. I guarantee you a fast and careful translation or editing.

I am an attorney with over 20 years of experience in both government and the private sector. I have been an insurance defense attorney and an appellate attorney for the federal government. In conducting these jobs I have had to learn to sift through vast numbers of documents to find the facts important to a case. I have also regularly drafted motions and pleadings across both jobs, and in the private sector was adept at conducting discovery. Both positions also required many court appearances, and presentation of arguments.
