We are committed to excellence in every interaction between the deaf and hearing communities. Our skilled and qualified interpreters strictly adhere to the Code of Professional Conduct set by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID), ensuring the highest standards of service and ethics for your communication needs.
For over 30 years, we have been providing certified sign language interpreters in Hackensack and the surrounding areas. As a deaf-owned and managed agency, we deeply understand the importance of clear, accurate, and culturally inclusive communication.
Many situations involving deaf individuals call for more than just words -- they require in-person connection. With On-site Interpreting, communication becomes seamless and fully interactive, allowing deaf and hearing individuals can engage naturally. Our interpreters capture nonverbal cues, facial expressions, and body language, making every conversation as clear and authentic as possible.
Whether you need sign language interpreter services in New Jersey for medical appointments, business meetings, or community events, our skilled, dependable, and friendly interpreters are ready to assist wherever and whenever you need them. Our onsite interpreting is one of the most requested services in the deaf community, providing essential access in countless everyday situations.
Imagine having instant access to a skilled interpreter anytime and anywhere. With Video Remote Interpreting, seamless communication is just a click away. Whether deaf and hearing participants are in the same room or miles apart, our web-based video service makes conversations clear, natural, and effortless.
No special software is required, just a laptop and a stable internet connection. VRI runs right in your web browser, making it a fast and easy solution. It’s a cost-effective way to ensure real-time access for appointments, interviews, team meetings, and even urgent situations where immediate communication is critical.
For other situations, a Certified Deaf Interpreter provides an extra layer of clarity and understanding. As deaf or hard-of-hearing professionals with specialized training in ASL interpreting, Deaf culture, and communication strategies, CDIs bring a unique skill set that enhances communication, especially in complex or nuanced interactions. Strategies used include gestures, drawings, visual aids, and mime to ensure messages are conveyed clearly, no matter the client’s signing style or language background.
CDIs work alongside hearing ASL interpreters, creating a collaborative process that includes four participants: the CDI, the hearing ASL interpreter, the Deaf client, and you. This teamwork ensures accurate, culturally appropriate communication for every interaction.

Cristina Z.Here are some fast answers to common questions regarding our services.
Yes, the law requires you to provide interpreting services if you interact with at least one Deaf individual. However, offering accessibility accommodations is a good practice for all organizations.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that protects people with disabilities from discrimination in workplaces, schools, transportation, and public spaces. It ensures their inclusion, provides legal protections, and sets standards for accessibility and accommodations.
It depends. If an interpreter is needed for more than two hours with constant, uninterrupted signing throughout, then two interpreters are required due to the physical and mental demands of sign language interpreting.
We accept all major credit cards via Stripe, ACH, Zelle, and checks. Purchase orders are accepted for school districts and government agencies. Please note that payments must be made directly to ASL NJ, not to the assigned interpreter.
We provide competitive rates for our sign language interpreting services. If you receive a lower quote from another agency, we’ll aim to match it within 5%. However, quality should always be a top priority when choosing interpreting services.
