Heavens Law Firm, PLLC

Heavens Law Firm, PLLC Heavens Law Firm - Charleston, West Virginia & Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Chris Heavens is rated AV Preeminent by the Martindale Hubbell legal directory.

Chris Heavens started his legal career in 1991 working for a litigation law firm that primarily defended corporations and insurance companies. Chris quickly developed a reputation as a skilled and aggressive litigator, racking up defense verdicts in favor of the firm’s wealthy and powerful clients. While these courtroom victories increased the law firm’s profits through increased business, Chris w

as sometimes left with an empty feeling in having defeated working class people with whom he could personally identify. It was at this early stage in Chris’ career that he began to reexamine what he wanted his own legacy to be at the end of his career. When offered a lucrative partnership with his law firm after four years of practice, Chris declined the offer and started his own law firm representing plaintiffs. The personal satisfaction and worthwhile feeling Chris has derived from that decision cannot be measured. When you meet Chris, you will begin to understand why so many former clients refer their family members and friends to him. Less than 5% of attorneys in America have this highest rating. If you are in a legal situation where the result could impact you or your family for the rest of your life, it is advisable to retain an AV-rated attorney because the rating comes from anonymous surveys of attorneys and judges who have had personal experience with the attorney. This is no ballot box-stuffing rating system or an award that can be purchased online. The great film director Frank Capra once said, “only the morally courageous are worthy of speaking to their fellow citizens for two hours while they sit in the dark.” Chris Heavens believes that same sentiment is true of attorneys. Only the morally courageous are worthy of the privilege of representing people in what is often the most important conflict that they will face in their lifetime. Chris Heavens has the kind of moral courage and fearlessness that cannot be learned in books. If you are looking for an intellectual warrior who takes winning your case as a matter of personal pride, call Chris Heavens.

When something serious happens, the decisions you make in the first few days can matter more than you realize.

Insurance companies often move quickly after an accident. They may ask you for a recorded statement, send documents to sign, or offer a quick payment.

Before you do anything, make sure you understand your rights.

Never give a recorded statement, sign documents, or cash checks provided by an insurance company without first talking to a lawyer.

If you think you might need a lawyer, that usually means you do need a lawyer.

At Heavens Law Firm, we represent people and families dealing with serious injuries and wrongful death cases.

Finding affordable child care is one of the biggest hurdles for West Virginia families finding and keeping jobs, business leaders say.

West Virginia suffers from a lack of providers, low pay for child care workers and insufficient funding subsidies to help low-income families. More than 25,000 West Virginia children don’t have care because providers don’t have enough slots.

A new program is helping working parents afford child care by sharing costs between the state and employers. However, more state funding is needed to continue after next year.

This is an excellent article on history of work injuries and how construction and transportation jobs now have higher incidence of injuries and death. If you have a work injury, always call a lawyer to discuss your rights. If they discourage you from filing a worker's compensation claim, don't take their word for it. Get an independent legal opinion. Never, never, never give up!

So sorry to hear about Judge Dozor's sudden passing. Sending my best to his wife, children, family and friends. Anytime you were in Barry’s court, you knew you would be treated with respect, dignity and fairness. He was a mensch! He was a DELCO guy, proud of his blue collar roots and practicing law in Collingdale. I told him stories about my Aunt Rose taking us from her home in Southwest Philly over to the Collingdale Swim Club in the summers. And of going to Spohrer’s Bakery. He told me some great stories about his life (Villanova rejected him for law school just like they rejected me) and stories about when he practiced law. A few times in life you meet a special person like Barry Dozor and they make you want to be more like them. RIP Barry.

“For the bar and the people who knew him, it’s just a loss and it’s hard to wrap your head around,” attorney Robert Keller says of Barry Dozor. “He just personified a happy, healthy, even-keeled pe…
