To any victim of domestic violence, represented by counsel or not: YOU CAN GO TO YOUR LOCAL COURTHOUSE AT ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT, TO OBTAIN AND EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE ORDER.
Do not let anyone tell you that you cannot.

Thankfully, I don't have to face this much in Kanawha County because we have some of the best magistrates around (one or two stragglers), but if you live, specifically, in Lincoln County, do not let Magistrate Sophia Tulley tell you they don't do DVPs on weekends. Do not let her tell you that they don't have a deputy on duty to serve a DVP. Lincoln County community members deserve much better service than that from their court system.

A great example of a Magistrate that will do his job is Todd Chevalier, who came out on a weekend at the drop of a hat to serve the community. Of course I could name many others that have gone above and beyond for my clients, but I'm thankful the list is too long.

If you or someone you know is in an emergency domestic violence situation at an unusual hour or on the weekends, please call me. I will get you where you need to go. Domestic Violence doesn't just happen from Monday to Friday.

If you are a family court judge in West Virginia and you decide to move hearings over and over and over again, please remember that these people have waited for months, and sometimes even years, to resolve their most sensitive issues. Stop that. Get it together, or get off the bench.

🚨FAMILY COURT QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Should your family court judge be permitted to interview your child "in chambers" (in their office) in private while your case is being litigated? If so, do you think you should have the right to be present while the interview is taking place?

With my newfound interest to highlight the importance of the public's "knowledge" of judges they vote for, I think it's important to highlight positives along with the negatives.

With that said, I want to give a big shout out to Judge Jennifer Bailey, Circuit Judge in Kanawha County, who sacrificed more time than she had on her docket to help a family achieve a favorable outcome. Although I don't always agree with decisions from every bench (which is the nature of my job), Judge Bailey has always run her courtroom in a way that makes litigants feel comfortable and attorneys feel important and respected. I always enjoy appearing in front of her, and I look forward to doing more of it!

"The Judiciary" has always been a sacred branch--unshakeable, unbiased, and a solid foundation for the American justice system.

But, we forget that judges are in elected seats. In other words, WE the people put the judges on the bench. However, how many of you have never interacted with the justice system or the court system in general? Do you really know who you're voting for?

Well, my friends at Judge-y have developed an app where we the people can judge the judges. I think it's an interesting concept, and I look forward to seeing how it all unfolds. Transparency and accountability in the court system--especially in the family court system--is essential in maintaining public trust in the judiciary.

I downloaded the app from the Apple store tonight so it's up and running. 🏃

I am very impressed by Chief Dempsey’s willingness to go to bat for his officers. Bad police officers exist, but Wyatt McCabe is not one of them. Truth always prevails.

Charleston Police Chief Scott Dempsey has released a detailed response to City Council members, defending Officer Wyatt McCabe and other Charleston Police offic
