Answer 1

Hola LuisaGomez

You might try these:

Gainfully Employed - con trabajo remunerado

To vouch for somebody - responder por alguien

To vouch that he is very hard working - responder por él, de que es muy trabajador/responder de que es muy trabajador

Thanks. - LuisaGomezBartle, MAR 11, 2010

Answer 2

Hi Luisa. I'd simply say "empleado" for employed, and I found this in the dictionary:

I can vouch for his honesty = puedo garantizar su honestidad.

Gracias. - LuisaGomezBartle, MAR 11, 2010

Answer 3

What do you think about, "para respaldarlo" or "para apoyarlo". The context is a guy who is in a bond review hearing and is atty. is stating that he isn't at risk of flight because of his ties to the community, his job, etc. His boss is present to vouch for him...

I still like "garantizar su honestidad" or even "garantizar su carácter" in this case because it's his honesty/character that will return him to court. - --Mariana--, MAR 11, 2010
