Christopher Janelle

Member

I have been a litigation attorney in West Virginia for 29 years, and a mediator for over five years. I have practiced in criminal defense, insurance defense, varied plaintiff's litigation, and family court over this time period. As someone who has been on all sides of civil litigation as a lawyer, I have an acute understanding of the value of dispute resolution.
