Jackson Kelly PLLC

Historically synonymous with the practice of law, Jackson Kelly PLLC firm in West Virginia, tracing its roots back to the early 1800s. Combining diversity, specialization and a commitment to excellence, Jackson Kelly PLLC consists of nearly 150 lawyers. While the majority of the Firm's lawyers are located in Charleston, West Virginia, the Firm has lawyers resident in a number of offices strategically positioned in ten other locations to provide optimum client support. Although meeting the legal needs of myriad corporate and individual clients effectively and efficiently is of paramount concern, the Firm maintains a strong tradition of public involvement through charitable generosity and participation in the arts and education. Individual lawyers donate substantial time and expertise to pro bono work, while others proudly advise and volunteer their services to many charitable, cultural, social, service, and civic organizations and institutions. The tradition that has become the trademark of one of West Virginia's most prestigious law firms is perhaps exemplified in these areas of support, a dedication that compliments the legal services performed for employers, business and commercially-oriented clients.
