What Can We Do For Your Family?

The practice of family law covers a broad range of legal issues, including divorce, child custody, alimony, child support, paternity, father’s rights, grandparents’ rights, guardianship, domestic violence, and adoption. Our lawyers have the knowledge and experience to help your family find solutions that work for you.


If you are facing a divorce, you have many important decisions to make. We understand that this is an emotional time and will help you focus on the legal and financial details. Our goal is to provide the information you need to make good decisions for yourself and your family.


Because a trial is a very expensive, lengthy procedure, many people in West Virginia choose mediation to resolve family law issues. Attorneys Shari McPhail and Betsy Griffith are West Virginia Supreme Court-approved mediators. We have helped many families talk through their differences and reach agreements on divorce, custody and many other issues.
