Janet Gershen-Siegel
Along the way, she has about a decade and a half of data analysis work under her belt and currently works as a blog coordinator for a high-end wedding blog and also as a blogger for hire (topics include diverse subjects like ad retargeting but also the nursing job market), and has a shingle out to work on social media presence, with a focus on independent authors as she is also a published science fiction author. Plus, she has been a community manager for a large Q & A website since 2002, which is before that existed as a job title.
She was raised on Long Island so, when she is riled up, the accent gallops back out and she can sound like Fran Drescher with a law degree. She lives in Boston with her husband of over 20 years and more computers than they need.
She can always be bribed with pie.

Disclaimer
Yes, we need a disclaimer. Thank you for reading ours.
First of all, this show IS NOT intended to be legal advice. Second, it is not intended to in any way replace the advice and judgment of a licensed lawyer. Because every case and situation is unique, only a licensed lawyer can offer legal advice which is appropriate for your situation. However, if you feel you need a lawyer, contact one who is licensed to practice in your area and is familiar with your type of case. Further, a local lawyer is often a good choice for most cases. But don’t be afraid to take to the Internet if your case is unique. And don’t be afraid to check their credentials and ask them questions. However, on our show, representation should be neither inferred nor implied!
Legal Help
Furthermore, in the United States, the Constitution offers some very important protections for all citizens. People accused of crimes need these protections! Hence, if you are involved in a criminal matter, and you cannot afford a lawyer, you are entitled BY LAW to have representation appointed. They will handle your case. In addition, this is almost always via legal aid. However, if you are involved in a civil matter and you cannot afford a lawyer, you can seek pro bono representation. Legal Services is one place to start.
Opinions
So these are our opinions. We gladly welcome yours, along with your feedback. This includes corrections if we have gotten anything wrong or if anything seems to be at all confusing or misleading. We love to talk about the law, scholarship, and fandom. And we really love to talk about how these seemingly rather different areas collide in somewhat surprising ways. Thank you for listening, reading, and commenting.
You are why we do this.
