Interpreter Audit is a one-person practice. Every audit, declaration, and live assignment is handled personally by Zimma, a Federally Certified Russian court interpreter with significant experience in immigration, federal, criminal, and civil proceedings.

The business is veteran-owned and operated: Interpreter Audit is supported by her husband, an active-duty U.S. service member, and built around the same values that govern military service—precision, integrity, and accountability.

For each case, Zimma works directly with counsel to understand the theory of appeal, prioritize the record segments that matter most, and deliver a clear, well-documented analysis that fits into your briefing strategy.
