West Virginia Lunch and Break Laws
Over at our main lunch, break, and hour law post, a reader just posted a great question. I decided that it deserved a full answer in a separate post. Ginger from West Virginia writes:
I live in West Virginia and I work 10-12 hour days. My employer only gives me a half hour unpaid lunch break and sometimes he has us to cut our lunch short. When he has us take a 10-15 lunch break, we do not get paid for it. I thought that in WV, for every …
I Need You – Guide This Blog
Thanks to you great readers, Legal Andrew has been trucking along for well over a year. After 649 posts, I have decided to revamp the site. But I need your input!
My two main goals with these changes are to enhance your experience and present a stronger, more professional brand of myself.
I’ve got plenty of ideas and aspirations, but I want your feedback throughout the entire process. That means I should start gathering opinions and suggestions now. Here are a few questions I’ve been pondering:
If you could change one thing at Legal Andrew, what would it be?

Get Even Better Hotel Deals!
Sponsored Post
Everyone knows about the services that Hotwire and Priceline offer. These sites let you book hotel rooms at discount prices by only showing you the location and “star” rating of the hotel. Throughout the process, the user is sort-of blind – until now.
Travelgoop aims to improve the user experience of Hotwire and Priceline. The basic idea is that there’s power in numbers and information. But it does get a bit more complicated.
The site is beginning to collect info that users enter about their successful purchases on Hotwire and Priceline. Simply enter the …

Escape From the Perils of Debt
Sponsored Post
Baseball, apple pie, and credit card debt. Isn’t that what America’s all about? Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be.
I’ve got my share of credit card debt. That’s what three years of law school gets you: debt. But fortunately I’ve got a pretty solid plan to pay it off. That’s because I don’t want to be in debt the rest of my life, paying the minimum payment on my accounts. Minimum payments are a recipe for disaster.
If you’re struggling with credit card debt, maybe you should look into credit card counseling. …

Best Free PDF Creation Software
If you don’t have the full version of Adobe Acrobat, you can still create PDF files from virtually anything on your computer. Just download a free PDF creator.
I’ve tried several of these in the past, but I just stumbled on one that takes the cake: doPDF.
doPDF is a newer contender in the PDF creation market, but it’s won my vote. The download is small, it installs in a snap, and it works every time. What else could a guy want?
Legal Funding Provided by AnyLawsuits
Sponsored Post
I’ve seen companies that buy legal claims, in fact that’s a pretty common practice. And I’ve heard of companies who buy out structured settlements, providing people with a lump sum all at once. But AnyLawsuits.com provides an interesting type of legal funding.
AnyLawsuits will give you a loan while your case is pending. Then when your case is settled or decided in your favor, AnyLawsuits gets paid back. This gives you money up front to help cover bills and expenses, but it enables you to still own your claim and possibly collect more …
Sidebar – Fun Lawyer Comics
Are you looking for something to brighten up your day? You’re in luck! I did a little research and found some lawyer comics for you.
Stu’s Views has a nice collection of lawyer and legal cartoons. They’re even organized by topic. There are some nice ones under constitutional law.
Juris Comics also draws lawyer comics. They don’t have as many available online, but they’re still worth a peek.
Finally, check out LawComix Scribble-in-Law. These comics are a bit more up my alley, since the creator spends more time on the message and humor …
