Yes but not by the deaf consumer. The attorney and/or the court (depending on the situation) pays the interpreter.
I had a real estate attorney try to charge the deaf client for my services by tacking on the interpreting fee to the closing costs. I explained to the attorney that he wasn't allowed to do that. He had to go back and write a check to reimburse the deaf client. I didn't leave until I knew everything was straightened out.
No one cheats on my watch.
