About AFLS – Translation and Interpreting Company Story
Expanding Our Services
Finding A Home
By May of 2000, the need for additional staff grew, and we hired a bookkeeper and our first office coordinator. In 2001, we leased an office in Gilbert, AZ, with a small staff of four people. Then, due to increased demand for our interpretation and translation services, we moved to our current location in sunny Mesa, AZ and expanded the AFLS Team to six people.
For over 25 years now, the AFLS Team has provided exceptional interpretation and translation services, along with ASL contract services to our clients around the Phoenix Valley, across Arizona, and nationwide. We pride ourselves on having a team dedicated to upholding our high standards of excellence in customer service and integrity. These values have allowed us to become a recognized leader in our industry. Please read some of the many testimonials that we have received about the AFLS Team and our interpreters and translators. We look forward to helping to meet your language needs!
