Description

I am a professional English-Spanish-English certified translator (perito traductor autorizado) and interpreter with more than 20 years of professional work experience in the U.S. and Mexico.

I am based in the City of Morelia, State of Michoacán in western Mexico.

I specialize in English-Spanish-English legal, financial and academic translations. I also offer legal advice and representation in U.S. Immigration Law (Petitions to become U.S. Permanent Residents and Applications for Waivers of Grounds of Inadmissibility, forms I-212 and I-601.

As a trial attorney in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, I represent clients in Civil and Family Law matters (Probate and Intestate Proceedings, Adoptions, Amendments to Birth Certificates, Dissolution of Marriages, Legal Recognition and/or acknowledgments by the Michoacán Superior Court and Registrar´s Office of U.S. Final Judgments and Decrees, for those mexicans who got married in Michoacán and got divorced in the U.S. and need a Mexican divorce certificate.

Regarding our certified translations (traducciones oficiales), my work is highly specialized, I know the differences between the U.S. common law system and Mexico´s civil law system. I do not only translate words, ideas, or concepts but also intentions, as we deal with legal documents that have profound consequences on individual´s rights and properties.

I know how to use the proper legal terminology, thus, avoiding the use of loan translations, false cognates and other translation mistakes that can change the true intention of an original document. My goal is to deliver high quality, well-written and easy to understand translations that will be accepted by officials in Mexico and abroad.
