I have had precious little success storm chasing under Moderate Risk designations by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) but May 30 2013 may have broken the jinx.  The Hokie Storm Chasers started the morning in Arkansas City KS before dropping south…

I enjoyed a recent evening in the company of another of the Old Dominion “pinup girls” this week. (The beer series. What did you think?)

Gigi’s Farmhouse Ale pours a copper-orange color with a frothy white head. The aroma is a yeasty, slightl…



Lawyers You Should NOT Hire: The “No Contract” Lawyer

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • May 30th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Another lawyer that I recommend being cautious about is the lawyer who doesn’t have a written agreement with you. You call and talk to her about your case, and she says, “Great! Give me your credit card number so we can get started.” Or she says, “Send me a check to my P.O. box.” What’s […]



Lawyers You Should NOT Hire: The Courthouse Hallway Lawyer

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • May 29th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I’m amazed when I see lawyers loitering around the courthouse, trying to pick up clients. They look like vultures! A while back a lawyer that I know was doing this tactic in one of the courthouses where I practice. Word got around that people were talking negatively about it, so I privately let him know […]

Driving back from last weekend’s USPSA match, I stopped at a roadside market to pick up a large cup of carbonated, sugar-laden beverage. (Take that Bloomberg.) I glanced over at the beer display and was surprised to see Devils Backbone Sc…

Lawyers You Should NOT Hire: The Un-reviewed Lawyer

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • May 28th, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

If you’re anything like me, online shopping is a miracle! I don’t buy much of anything without looking it up online and perusing reviews from actual people who own and use the product or service. Why should hiring an attorney be any different? It shouldn’t be! You should demand to see reviews and testimonials from […]
