Once, I got a call from the checkout clerk alerting me to my client’s brags and the impact it had on others in the line. DON’T DO IT!

The Role of Fault in WV Alimony (WV Code 48-8-104)

...February 10, 2012; J.B.H. I argued a case before the WV Supreme Court this fall, and won it by a 3-2 vote.

I explained that I found that family courts are not concerned much with fault. She respectfully disagreed with me, referring me to a case she had authored. I left...
