“Sonia Melnikova is an exceptional Russian linguist. Our Language Agency has a long-standing relationship with Ms Melnikova. She has always showed great professionalism. She handles every project with the highest work standards. She has translated Web sites, marketing material, various legal documents, and interpreted in Court for our agency. Thank you Sonia for being around!”
— Francine Kuipers, President, Accent on Languages, Berkeley
“Sonia Melnikova was retained by me both as a translator and interpreter in depositions lasting several months which involved particularly sensitive clients and witnesses. In addition to excellent knowledge of modern Russian and English languages, it also required knowledge of highly specialized, esoteric, and difficult vocabularies and familiarity with archaic usages, including translation of voluminous archival documents in old church slavonic language. Besides fluency and adaptability, this job work required a good deal of research in creating an acceptable glossary. Throughout Sonia performed at the highest professional level. I certainly recommend her.”
— John M. Bentley, Partner, Ropers, Majeski, Kohn & Bentley, Redwood City
“Sonia, thank you very much for your help during our INS interview. Your presence and professional assistance made Nadia and me feel more confident. I have referred you to my friend who will also need an interpreter in the San Francisco immigration court.”
— Andrei and Nadia Gorkov, San Francisco
“I'd like to thank you for prompt and qualified service in providing an excellent translation of my diploma and academic records which were accepted by the university I applied for without a glitch.”
— Pavel Yefanau, San Francisco
