About the Interpreter
I interpret Mandarin and English for depositions, hearings, and civil proceedings. I am licensed in Texas, California, Oklahoma and Arizona, and professionally qualified for federal court.
Raised in Taiwan and trained for U.S. legal settings, I work in the register counsel and the record actually use. Translativity Legal Interpreting is a solo practice: when a firm books the date, they get me — prompt confirmation, clear rates, and availability for last-minute docket changes.

Client Reviews
“Shannon handled the deposition of a key witness in a complex commercial lease dispute that involved a condo association, restaurant operations, and intricate leasing terms. The matter required navigating communications among numerous people, entities, and addresses, each with their own interests and perspectives. Throughout the deposition, Shannon was diligent in ensuring that the witness fully understood each question I posed, and that I, in turn, accurately comprehended the witness’s responses. Her attention to detail and commitment to clarity were evident at every stage. On several occasions, Shannon proactively paused the proceedings to clarify the meaning of specific words or phrases, particularly when they could have different interpretations in various Chinese dialects. She demonstrated a strong commitment to accuracy by seeking clarification whenever she encountered unfamiliar terms, ensuring that nothing was lost in translation. Shannon’s professionalism and skill made the process seamless, and my experience working with her was outstanding. I plan to use her services again for any future matters requiring Chinese interpreting or transcription." — T.J. Hales
