How To Talk To Your Lawyer: So You Can Get the Results You Want (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983630104)

Elura Nanos, Esq. A fourth-generation entrepreneur, Elura broke the family mold by making school her first career, studying African-American literature, classical music, and law. As a newly-minted member of the New York bar, Elura worked as a trial lawyer in the child abuse and neglect division of New York City's Administration for Children's Services. Later, she rounded out her legal experience by practicing commercial litigation and family law at Blank Rome, LLP, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. When Elura could no longer resist the lure of being her own employer, she founded Lawyer Up, and has never looked back. Now, she travels the globe (or at least the neighborhood) showing people that legal expertise doesn't require pinstripes, bow-ties, or jargon. Elura lives with her very patient husband and two snuggly kids in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Plate-spinning is a way of life for Elura, who also finds time to serve as a board member of several charitable educational organizations. In addition to being a lawyer and entrepreneur, Elura is a piccolo-playing lover of audiobooks, Mozart, and movies about prison, and a hater of crawling plants, war documentaries, and raisins. Michele Sileo, Esq. All her life, Michele had heard that she'd make a great lawyer. Little girls who grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn didn't usually become lawyers - but that didn't stop Michele. After graduating from New York Law School, Michele set out to fight for child support on behalf of New York City's Administration for Children's Services. When she finished with the deadbeats of New York City, Michele represented hospitals and doctors in medical malpractice lawsuits for the law firm of Martin Clearwater & Bell, LLP. For the past decade, as the owner of Lawyer Up, Michele has used her street-smarts and sassy style to make law understandable and useful for professionals and law students alike. Michele currently lives in Staten Island, New York, with her husband, N.Y.P.D. Captain James Grant, seven year-old Lieutenant James, and three year-old Chief Olivia. In any fleeting free time she finds, Michele does what all working mothers do - the laundry.
