For over 50 years, Goodwin & Goodwin has been defending individuals and companies in nearly all types of lawsuits throughout West Virginia.

We describe ourselves as “the smallest big firm in West Virginia,” because since we launched in 1970, we’ve fought—and won—battles large and small on behalf of our diverse clients.

We regularly handle complex and resource-intensive representations, and our firm size ensures that our clients are able to work directly with our most experienced, senior attorneys.

Clients can also take advantage of the cost-effective support of our talented associate attorneys and paralegals who are mentored closely every step of the way.

Inside our firm, we know each other well, allowing us to readily identify what team member is best equipped to take on a task due to his or her talents and experience. Time and again our small and close-knit team has proven that we can make a big impact—and that we’ll always put our clients’ goals and interests first.
