Who am I?

Legal Translations is owned and operated by me, Jose Vega. I am a certified federal court interpreter.

In 2009, and after 4 years of working for one of the most prestigious translation and interpreting agencies of the time and interpreting on a nationally broadcast TV show, I decided to open up my own shop and open the doors, as well as my arms and heart, to the wonderful and exciting South Florida legal community.

As a result, whether it was throughout the hundreds of homeowner’s claims from our hurricanes, or the thousands of automobile insurance claims and all sorts of commercial litigation, family law cases as well as immigration cases, this continues to be an adventure that we now invite you to partake in with us.
