From criminal charges to custody disputes and injury claims, our practice covers the legal matters that affect Huntington families most. Choose a practice area below to learn how we can help.
01
Criminal Defense
Facing a misdemeanor or felony charge can put your job, record, and freedom at risk. We review the evidence, challenge police procedures, and build a defense strategy aimed at reduced charges, dismissal, or acquittal.
02
DUI & Driver's License Cases
A DUI arrest in West Virginia can bring license revocation, steep fines, and possible jail time. We contest breath and blood test results, examine the traffic stop, and work to protect your driving privileges.
03
Divorce & Family Law
Divorce affects your finances, your home, and your future. We guide you through property division, spousal support, and settlement negotiations, pursuing a fair resolution while keeping the process as calm and efficient as possible.
04
Child Custody
Your relationship with your children matters more than anything. We help parents pursue custody arrangements, parenting plans, and visitation schedules that serve the child's best interests, and we assist with modifications when circumstances change.
05
Personal Injury
When someone else's carelessness leaves you hurt, you should not carry the costs alone. We pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering from slip and fall injuries, dog bites, and other negligence claims.
06
Car Accident
After a crash, insurance companies often move quickly to limit what they pay. We gather accident reports, medical records, and witness statements to hold negligent drivers accountable and seek the full compensation your recovery requires.
07
Appeals
An unfavorable ruling is not always the final word. We review trial records for legal errors, meet strict filing deadlines, and present clear written arguments seeking review of criminal convictions, sentences, and family court orders.

Know Your Rights
Early Legal Guidance Can Shape the Outcome of Your Case
The days following an arrest, accident, or family dispute are often the most important. Decisions made during this window can strengthen your position or create problems that are difficult to undo later.
If you are questioned by police, you have the right to remain silent and the right to request an attorney before answering. After an injury or crash, photos, medical records, and witness information should be preserved while they are still available. Legal deadlines also apply to many cases. West Virginia generally allows two years to file most personal injury lawsuits, and DUI license matters can move even faster. In family cases, temporary orders on custody and support can set the tone for the final outcome. Speaking with an attorney early gives you a clear plan, protects your rights from the start, and helps you avoid costly mistakes.

FAqs
Answers to Common Legal Questions
Legal matters can feel confusing, especially when you are facing them for the first time. Here are answers to questions our clients ask most often.
Should I talk to the police before speaking with a lawyer?
You have the right to remain silent and the right to have an attorney present during questioning. Politely decline to answer questions until you have legal counsel. Statements made in the moment, even innocent ones, can be used against you later.
What happens to my license after a DUI arrest in West Virginia?
A DUI arrest can put your driving privileges at risk in addition to the criminal charge itself. Timelines to respond can be short, so contacting an attorney quickly gives you the best chance to protect your license and explore options such as an ignition interlock program.
How is child custody decided in West Virginia?
West Virginia courts focus on the best interests of the child. Judges typically review each parent's history of caretaking, the child's stability, and the proposed parenting plan. Parents who can show consistent involvement and a practical plan are in a stronger position.
How long do I have to file a personal injury or car accident claim?
In most cases, West Virginia allows two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Certain exceptions can shorten or extend that window, so speaking with an attorney soon after your accident helps protect your right to compensation.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Early offers are often lower than the true value of your claim, especially before your full medical costs are known. Once you accept a settlement, you usually give up the right to seek more. Have an attorney review any offer before you sign.
How much does a consultation cost?
Your initial consultation is free. It gives you the chance to explain your situation, ask questions, and learn about your legal options without any obligation or pressure to move forward.
