Legal Interpreting & Consulting
Specialist legal interpreting and consulting services backed by RID certification.
Legal Interpreting Services
Christopher Tester provides professional legal interpreting services as a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI). With a Speciality Certificate: Legal (SC:L) from the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID), he brings deep expertise to legal settings where precision, impartiality, and cultural mediation are essential.
Drawing on over 15 years of professional experience — including prior work as a Special Projects Coordinator and Investigator at the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights — Christopher understands the stakes and procedural demands of legal environments.
Legal Consulting
Beyond interpreting, Christopher offers consulting services to law firms, courts, and legal organizations seeking to improve accessibility and communication with Deaf clients. His consulting draws on both his interpreting credentials and his firsthand experience navigating legal systems.
Consulting engagements are tailored to the organization's needs and may address policy review, communication protocols, and staff training around Deaf cultural competency in legal contexts.
