For more than 32 years, my office light has been the first to come on most mornings at One West Main Street, near the courthouse in Buckhannon.
Drive by most mornings before 7 a.m. and you can see it.

Throughout my career, I have represented individuals or families.
I often represent the "little guy" against someone hoping to exert influence over them.
Whether my case is against a large insurance company, or abusive spouse, my goal is to get them a "fresh start" and a way out of their crisis.
We will stand up to bullies, but where an honorable compromise is possible, I pursue it aggressively.
In my family law and civil practice, we usually operate on an hourly rate.
Please keep in mind, that rate reflects my expertise as a lawyer with over 30 years experience, my staff of five people, and the overhead that such an operation requires.
