Los Angeles Entertainment Attorney Danny Andrews Takes Spanish Course To Better Serve His Spanish-speaking clients

You may or may not know this about me, but I am half Puerto Rican.  In fact, spending my early years with my non-English grandmother, rendered Spanish my first language.  But, as with many things in life, if you don't use it, you'll lose it.  And so it was.  One of my New Year's resolutions was to get better and speaking and writing Spanish.  I'm currently in a Spanish course at a local community college.  My timing couldn't be any better.  In the last month alone, I have had 3 Spanish-speaking clients.  Most recently, a Spanish screenwriter contacted me.  He needed my help getting out of a bad production deal for a film to be shot in El Salvador.  Of course, the deal was in Spanish.  But, with the help of my Spanish comprehension, my dictionary, and a Spanish-speaking mother, I was able to translate the agreement!  I'll spare you the details.  But, I successfully got him out of the bad deal, regain all of his rights in and to the screenplay, and we are now in negotiations with a new Australian film financier to finance the film project.  Good thing they speak English down under.  

As an entertainment attorney in Los Angeles, it is not surprising that more and more Spanish-speaking people are contacting me in need of legal representation.  I want to do my part to make sure that they get the legal help they need.  I am excited about continuing to re-learn spanish and about working with more and  more Spanish-speaking clients.  Check back for  updates on this film project.  And as usual, for more information and updates on this or other activities that I am involved in, and/or if you need legal assistance, please feel free to contact me, Danny Andrews.  My contact information can be found at www.dannyandrews.com.
