"I have worked with Frank as a colleague for several years and had the opportunity to observe his language skills, work ethic, and leadership. Frank seeks to excel and is passionate about sharing his knowledge. As a Professional Development Project Manager for the agency where we were coworkers, he presented weekly skills building sessions for interpreting interns and advanced ASL students. Frank chose the stimulus material carefully, balancing the "challenge factor" with the potential of the group. The students were engaged without being overwhelmed. He is truly an outstanding teacher and mentor."

"In the five years I’ve worked with Frank, he has exceeded my expectations in every capacity. As someone who uses a more of a Signed English communication mode more than American Sign Language, it can be difficult to find an interpreter with whom I feel comfortable. There has not been a situation where I felt uncomfortable with Frank. He possesses the ability to adapt to every situation. Code switching is one of his many talents, and it’s a skill I require interpreters to have. Frank’s undeniable work ethic is the reason I work with him and will continue to do so."

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Frank Peralez as my interpreter on several occasions and was never disappointed. Frank has the transliteration skills that matched my unique communication needs perfectly and the facilitation of the communication was executed effectively. Knowing the details of the assignment he was going to interpret ahead of time, he did his research and asked questions to ensure he had the appropriate knowledge needed while interpreting. If I could, I would hire Frank to be my full-time interpreter."

"Once in a great while we find a colleague that you just click with, personally and professionally, and Frank is that person for me. As a team interpreter I know I can rely on him to remain professional, ethical and interpret the message effectively. When working with Frank I feel comfortable and confident that we will have each other's backs professionally and also have an enjoyable experience throughout the assignment. We have worked together in a variety of settings, one in particular was a very difficult conference. We managed to get through that challenging conference together with poise and skill. I was very thankful to have Frank as my team interpreter."

"Frank was amazing to work with! He was very professional in coordinating and working out the details for his workshop. He was very organized and on the ball for submitting for CEUs. He made the process seamless for coordinating the workshop. The workshop itself was very interactive and he made sure that everyone’s voice was heard that wanted to share. He was funny and kept the presentation very lively. Received wonderful remarks from everyone who attended saying how beneficial they felt the content was and would love to have him back."

"The skills of the interpreter can impact the success of a Deaf professional with doing their job. As a Deaf working professional I rely on the interpreter to be fluent enough to be able to keep up with my speed and knowledgeable to understand the advanced terminology that I use in my field. When Frank Peralez appears as my interpreter, it is literally a weight lifted off my shoulders. If "qualified interpreter" was in the encyclopedia, he would be pictured as a fine specimen. His interpreting gives me the confidence that I can interact with my clients seamlessly without having to check for accuracy. He always is dressed appropriately for each situation, well prepared with terminology, and maintains excellent receptive and expressive skills. The positive impact that Frank makes when interpreting makes him a highly valued and desirable interpreter in our community. Frank's reputation in the community is growing as more people are specifically requesting him. If you're lucky enough to get Frank as an interpreter, you're in good hands!"
