If you Translate a Deposition, make a copy of the Deposition signature page. It will make it easier to substantiate that you did the work. If the Applicant does not sign the Deposition, what was the need to make sure he understands? If you can prove you did the work, we can bring your overdue money home.

Is a written proof of service necessary with your Invoice? Only if you want to collect on your 5811 Invoice later at the WCAB. You have to establish that the Defendant received the Invoice 60 days prior to filing a 5811 Petition. If you have 3 POS from prior mailings, that is simple. Review Rule 10545(e)(1) for guidance.

A D/A Law Partner recently threatened me with Sanctions for collecting an Interpreter Invoice. His Carrier had a $165 Order for 5811 Costs, but preferred to pay $90 instead. He was angry that I was seeking the balance of the Order before his case-in-chief had resolved. This Partner in a large Firm did not know the difference between a 5811 Order and a Lien, and tried to intimidate me. That legal position cost his Client a 25% Penalty, and a decent sum in Attorney Fees. We can protect you from these bullies who want to starve you out.
