Teri Kanefield
Welcome. I started out teaching English at the college level while writing novels, essays, and short stories. Then I went to law school, limited my practice to representing people who couldn’t afford to pay, wrote more books, wrote legal analysis for The Washington Post and other major media outlets, wrote a few more books, and here I am.
