Life tends to throw you challenges and after 36 years of marriage I was divorcing. I was fortunate enough to find Elura Nanos to guide me through the process. Her advice and direction was invaluable. In an emotionally charged situation she was a considerate knowledgeable professional dedicated to protect my interests. I cannot thank her enough. I recommend her to everyone I know.
Elura is a fourth-generation entrepreneur, a lawyer, flutist, and a New Yorker. Â
Â
As an attorney, Elura practiced law in the overworked-underpaid world of public interest, practicing as a trial lawyer in the child abuse and neglect division of NYC's Administration for Children's Services. Next, she joined the world of pinstripe-clad power lawyers and practiced commercial litigation and family law for a large corporate law firm. In 2002, she founded Lawyer Up, a full-spectrum educational company serving law students and professionals.
Â
Elura has brought law to the masses in several books, including How To Talk To Your Lawyer, and the Legalese to English series of law-school study guides.Â
Â
In 2013, Elura starred in the reality series, Staten Island Law, on the Oprah Winfrey Network, has since made numerous television and radio appearances, and regularly provides legal analysis on Fox News, HLN, HuffPost Live, and Sirius Satellite Radio.
Â
Elura now speaks to audiences across the nation in her events Millennial Momentum and Man Class, where she talks to young people and their families about juvenile law, sexual assault, misuse of social media, and the best ways to use the law to protect themselves.

Business closing
When I needed advice on a business mater I turned to someone I was introduced to years ago. That person was Elura Nanos. I gave her a call and left a message. Within the hour Elura got back to me. While we were on the phone it came back to me why I remembered Elura in the first place. She answered all my questions and asked me things I hadn't thought of that were critical to my business transactions. But more importantly Elura put me at ease, she was the warm and engaging person I met years before. I hired Elura to represent me and in short time I was a business owner. I occasionaly call Elura for a consult when the need arises, and the results are always the same.

Outstanding!!!
My experience with Elura was extremely positive and beneficial. I felt comfortable and confident with her counsel and representation; in fact, her confidence gave me a sense of security and put many of my worries at ease. I turn to Elura for all my general law matters, especially those concerning child advocacy, where no other can compare to her diligence and unwavering dedication to the health, happiness and well-being of children.

Contract Nightmares!
I was engaged in a heated contract debate with other business partners. Things seemed to be falling apart and a bit all over the place. Elura's broad based knowledge of the business world, coupled with her years of industry experience, immediately helped get me and the transaction on the right track. She was extremely attentive throughout the case, worked diligently to fight for what was right/fair, and see that I get a fair dealing. She is very client centric/focused and is always readily available when needed. I plan to lean on Elura for all future dealings both in business and personal matters.

Elura was my divorce lawyer. She was always accessible and professional. She is an incredibly bright and honest person who translates all the law language easily so I could understand everything. Elura made a very difficult situation go as smoothly as possible.
