About Our Team

At Formaley Translations, our greatest strength is our people.

We are a diverse team of professional, certified interpreters and translators with a shared mission: to deliver exceptional language services with precision, cultural sensitivity, and empathy. What sets us apart is not only our linguistic expertise, but also our deep personal connection to the immigrant experience—many of us are immigrants ourselves, or children of immigrants, who understand the emotional and practical weight our clients carry.

Our team includes native speakers and seasoned professionals who have served in immigration courts across the United States, worked alongside attorneys, supported government agencies, and interpreted in high-stakes legal, medical, and educational settings. We come from multicultural backgrounds and speak multiple languages fluently, allowing us to communicate not just accurately—but authentically.

We pride ourselves on upholding the highest standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and accountability. Each member of our team is hand-selected for their integrity, compassion, and commitment to excellence. We take the time to understand each client’s needs, and we treat every case with the care, urgency, and respect it deserves.

At Formaley Translations, you’re not just hiring a service—you’re gaining a dedicated partner in your journey.
