When you want it done right!

If it's a motto for an immigration attorney, I'll withdraw my answer.

Once again, insufficient context thwarted the goodwill of the responders. None of the answer are really befitting the task of being a slogan for a lawyer (with the possible exception of "Ha jót akar!" but even this falls short). It would make sense to hit the reset button and ask the question afresh. But proZ has no reset button.

To satisfy Katalin's comments, this will be a motto for an immigration attorney who serves to clients from all over the world. Yes it is my slogan too and that is perfectly ok.

When you want your company slogen (tagline) to be right in several languages (I see the same question in 15 language pairs), you may want to view this as a copywriting job (because that's what it is) and have copywriting professionals "complete your job well/in the professional manner". Janos Samu already explained some of the reasons why.
I just hope the company that advertises itself with this slogan is not a translation company, because than the whole thing is kind of an oxymoron...
EDIT: Oh, I see, this is the asker's own slogan...

I don't agree that a slogan must be translated so attached to the original. And I doubt that anyone would understand "Ha jót akarsz!" as a threat in an ad. Ambiguity is also a source of humour! As it is probably a verbal phrase, if it is said with appropriate intonation (and maybe other non-verbal means of expression are used), my translation should convey the meaning the ad intends!

When you want this translation to sound right, you're better to use plain words (as the original does):
when = amikor
does right (opposite of does wrong) = jól csinálni (elrontani)

The original slogan offers the somewhat too explicit and plain words to the customer: "I want it done right!" ("This one mustn't go wrong!") = "Ezt jól kell megcsinálni!" ("Ezt nem szabad elrontani!")

The translation shouldn't euphemise either. The original slogan mustn't be castrated:
NO important quality (minőség fontos)
NO better than perfection (perfektnél jobb)
NO professional work (profi munka)

ONLY must be done right (jól kell megcsinálni)

Also, the trouble with the words "ha jót akarsz" ("when you want no trouble") is that they may as well suggest threat.

Creativity is absolutely right. I apologize for not being more careful.

Kagano (the asker) asked the same question in many language pairs.
He already asked this question in English -> Finnish language pair.
So probably the word "Finnish" in the above question is just a typo, and it's very likely that he meant Hungarian.

Dear Asker: Your message suggests that you might have meant to post this question in the English > Finnish language pair. "The *Finnish* translation of this expression should have the same catchy meaning as it is in the English original." Currently your question is in the English > Hungarian pair.
