If you've been charged with a crime, injured, or accused of misconduct, I am here to help. Asking around can help, but in my experience, the best way is to see who is willing to sit down, make time for you and listen. When you're going through one of the most difficult times in your life, you need answers from someone who you can trust.
You also need a lawyer who will act quickly, which is why we define what is most important to you in our very first meeting. Then, I do the work, and take whatever steps are necessary to protect you, minimize the damage and help you get back to focusing on yourself and the people that matter the most.

When we meet for the first time, my goal is to find out what's most important to you, to answer your questions, and to take the mystery out of the legal process. After that, I create a unique legal strategy based on the facts of your case, and begin the work of moving your case forward. As things progress, we will stay in contact, which serves two purposes - it keeps you informed, and it allows us to make better decisions.
If you are facing a university disciplinary action or academic sanction, your first call should be to me. Do not be tempted to go the conduct office by yourself - anything that you say, even in an informal meeting - could be used against you. Many students do not understand the far-reaching consequences of a finding of university-related misconduct, or of the options that they have in fighting the accusation.
The consequences of a criminal conviction can include jail time, substantial fines and the loss of basic freedoms, such as holding a driver's license, possessing a gun, and being permitted to vote. The collateral consequences of a criminal conviction can be far-reaching, and last for life.
Every criminal defense client needs a hard-hitting criminal defense attorney on their side - someone who will stand up to the prosecutor and aggressively work your criminal case.I am that attorney. After meeting with you, I take the necessary steps to investigate, plan and move your case forward. Your case will be examined for constitutional violations, such as illegal searches and seizures and unlawfully obtained statements.

You are dealing with an officer whose opinion is that you were impaired behind the wheel, you have chemical tests of either the blood, breath or urine, and you have a public perception that anyone charged with DUI is guilty, and all that's left to do is decide the punishment.
Making matters worse, a DUI charge triggers a driver's license revocation, which means that - unless you take steps to challenge the loss of your license - you will lose the right to drive shortly after your arrest.This can be devastating in a rural state like West Virginia, where many people rely on their ability to drive to travel to and from work and provide for their families.

A serious injury can leave you unable to work, and can make routine daily activities, such as caring for your children, or enjoying time with your spouse difficult or impossible. Making matters worse, you are often confronted with mounting medical bills and pushy insurance adjusters, which only adds to the stress and strain of recovery.

I highly recommmend Simms Law Office. They were extremely helpful managing a case with Morgantown as well as WVU. Advice was straightforward and very beneficial to the outcome of the issue. Additionally, the office was very responsive to communications which was very reassuring being from out of state. Definitely money well spent.
