Tomedes Delivers Honduran Spanish Translation of Motion to Withdraw Documents in Just 2 Days

The client

Company name: Cascade Law Advocacy (Pseudonym)
What does the company do? It specializes in federal and criminal litigation support

Deadline set by the client: 1-2 days

What do they need?

The law firm needed English to Honduran Spanish translation of a motion to withdraw as legal counsel and a formal letter informing the client of this procedural update, intended for use in a federal court context.

The challenges

Despite the Tomedes team’s extensive experience translating motions to withdraw and other legal documents, this project presented unique challenges.

Firstly, translating the motion to withdraw required exact legal language to meet federal court standards. Legal motions must be clear, correctly formatted, and accurate—especially in Spanish, the native language of over 13% of U.S. residents. Even small errors could cause confusion or legal issues, making accuracy essential.

Secondly, the attorney’s letter to the client needed a respectful and clear tone in Honduran Spanish. Clear communication in a client’s native language can reduce misunderstandings by 42%, according to legal studies. The translation had to maintain professionalism while being culturally appropriate and easy to understand.

Lastly, the project had a tight 48-hour deadline set by the court. Legal translations typically allow for 2,000–2,500 words per day, but Tomedes delivered faster by using expert translators and efficient project coordination. Despite the time pressure, quality was never compromised.
