The Year of YES

Jan 23, 2019
With a new year, there are plenty of new experiences that lie ahead for everyone. New experiences can be scary. But imagine the new insight you’ll obtain by trying new things, just say YES! I discovered the Theory of Yes from an old TED Talk by Shonda Rhimes. She talked about this new theory she applied to her life and…[...]

The One Thing West Virginians Don’t Need is an Intermediate Appeals Court

Jan 22, 2019
With the kickoff of the 2019 Legislative session underway, West Virginians will, once again, be hearing the drumbeat of calls for an intermediate appeals court – an entirely new layer of judges and courts to hear appeals from trial courts before an appeal can be heard by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals (“WVSCA”). Under West Virginia’s historical courts…[...]

Leaving A Legacy: A Tribute to Professor Franklin Cleckley

Jan 21, 2019

As an attorney, law professor and justice, he had a profound impact on generations of up-and-coming attorneys. He was a tireless advocate, beginning his career as a Navy JAG officer and then returning to his native West Virginia to practice law. In…[...]

Snowed In!

Jan 18, 2019
Now that we finally have a little bit of snow and some pretty cold weather, I am reminded of the blizzards and snow storms I have experienced during my lifetime. There are two that really stick out in my memory. The first one I remember was the winter of 1978 when we were hit with a blizzard on January 20th that no…[...]

Tax Season is Upon Us!

Jan 17, 2019
This tax season is the most exciting one in decades. We have our first chance to see the impact of the tax reform that President Trump signed into law at the end of 2017. The policy debate now gives way to the facts. Did the middle class really receive the tax cut they were promised? Or did all the benefits go to corporate America…[...]

Where is my Overtime?

Jan 16, 2019
With the beginning of the new year, W-2 forms will soon be filling mailboxes. Upon review, some of you may ponder why you are not receiving overtime. Overtime laws are designed to prevent workers from being exploited by their employers. However, 40% of workers are exempt from overtime laws. Most states, including West Virginia, have closely based overtime laws on the Fair Labor…[...]

More Than Just A Meal

Jan 15, 2019
During the holidays, I came across a cute galvanized recipe box online and purchased it for my daughter who loves to cook. As I scrolled through some recipe cards to go in it I wondered if she would really use this. By simply logging onto the internet, so many recipes are accessible and can be printed much more quickly than sitting down…[...]

Cherishing Old Friendships on New Year’s Eve

Jan 11, 2019
The holiday that I want to talk about this month is obvious: New Year’s Eve. It is not the usual New Year’s resolution to quit smoking, work out more, lose weight, stop procrastinating, enjoy the little things, keep a positive attitude, volunteer at a needy charitable organization, start a blog or, at least, contribute to a blog. Well, one out of…[...]

2019 Planners – What’s Your Style?

Jan 10, 2019
One of my favorite parts of a new year is opening a fresh, empty new planner. Even though I use digital calendars both for work and home appointments, I still maintain a physical planner – as do most of the attorneys and staff in our offices. I’ve found that the act of writing down appointments and to-dos helps to remember…[...]
