West Virginia’s Family, Employment & Personal Injury Lawyers
Very helpful law firm- especially Wendy, who is a Godsend. Highly recommended.
I had a positive experience with Klie Law Office in Buckhannon. The team was professional and efficient. I also want to mention Wendy Day, who works in HR, for being helpful and accommodating.
This law office goes above and beyond and treats everyone with such kindness. The lady I spoke with, Wendy Day was more than helpful and went above and beyond to assist me.
Klie Law Offices were the most professional and helpful associates to guide me through a very difficult time. Erika and Karl Kolenich were always available to answer any questions I had and to reassure me when I needed it. Heather Epperheart checked on me monthly to see if there was anything that I needed. I wish I could give this law office 10 stars.
I could not recommend Sarah Smith enough! What her and her team did for me and my family was incredible. They communicated so well and kept me up to date with everything that happened in the case! She was so supportive and passionate about this case and I couldn’t thank her enough.
Just hired them not even a month ago and so far they have did more work for my case and got it going further than my last attorney has in two years. I have also had more meetings and communication Along with explanations of the law and things in my case, all questions answered, and every document sent to me with them than my previous attorney less than two months versus two years!!!!
Every single person that I’ve spoke with has been extremely kind and professional. Thank you Iris for connecting me with Michele, she was extremely pleasant and helpful. I believe this process should be smooth and hopefully easy to get through.
Klie Law Offices has been an invaluable partner to me in a variety of legal matters, including family law cases, business strategy, and personal injury. Erika and Karl, along with their entire team, have guided me through some of the most challenging times with professionalism and care. They are always responsive and reliable, ensuring that calls and emails are returned promptly and that I am kept informed every step of the way. What truly sets them apart is their empathy, which is often hard to find in the legal field. I am consistently impressed by their sense of urgency, strategic approach, and dedication to providing top-notch service. I highly recommend Klie Law Offices to anyone in need of legal support.
Having problems and they guided me so far on what needs to be done. Definitely would refer them to anyone in a hostile/discriminatory environment
I'm not the easiest man in the world to deal with. So far they've shown me how patient they can be. I've asked a lot of questions and have sent them many documents via text and app. Some of my questions haven't exactly been within the realm of my case, but after a short period of time, they still respond, and steer me in the right direction. Even after I think I've pushed a little too hard, they still respond to let me.know they have my back.
From the moment i reached out to them till the moment we finished my issues, they were not only helpful but they explained everything. When I say I ask questions about everything I really do. I’d never been involved with anything like this before and not only did they explain everything they held my hand while we went thru all the ups and downs of this court case. No woman should be in the position I was in and I only hope every woman in WV who is goes to them for help. I can stand confident to know that they have our best interests at heart. My case lasted almost two years to get done and settled and they not only did it with grace but also with dignity. Then I had to make it difficult on them and moved back to Florida and it was like nothing had happened they still kept in constant communication providing me updates along the way the entire time. If I ever have anything like this come up they will always be my first choice to represent me. Thank you guys for all the hard work and dedication that you have given me.

Klie Law Office F.A.Q
1. How will the new co-parenting and custody laws affect my case?
In 2024, co-parenting laws continue to evolve, impacting child custody cases and the way courts approach shared custody rights. The latest child custody laws emphasize the best interest of the child, which means both parents may need to adjust to joint custody agreements. Courts also consider factors such as the child’s age, school stability, and parental involvement when making custody decisions. It’s important to consult a family law attorney to understand how these new child custody regulations apply to your specific situation, ensuring that you are fully aware of your legal custody rights.
2. How can I protect my assets during a divorce?
Protecting your assets during a divorce is critical, especially in high-stakes cases involving substantial financial holdings. Asset protection in divorce starts with identifying marital vs. separate property, ensuring that any financial planning for divorce includes safeguarding your retirement accounts and shared business interests. Strategies like prenuptial or postnuptial agreements can be useful in protecting assets from divorce. Courts will evaluate your financial contributions and categorize assets during the division of assets phase, so it’s essential to seek legal advice to understand your rights and options for protecting your property during the property division in divorce process.
3. What are my rights when it comes to spousal support (alimony)?
Understanding your rights regarding spousal support or alimony is crucial during divorce proceedings. Alimony guidelines vary by state, but factors such as the length of the marriage, the income disparity between spouses, and each spouse’s future earning potential play a significant role in determining spousal maintenance. There are different types of alimony, such as temporary vs. permanent alimony, and knowing which applies to your case is essential. You may also seek alimony modification in the future if circumstances change, so discussing your alimony eligibility with a qualified attorney ensures you are aware of what you can request or what you may be required to pay.
4. How do I prove parental alienation in a child custody case?
Proving parental alienation in a child custody case can be challenging but is possible with the right evidence. Signs of parental alienation include the child showing unwarranted hostility toward one parent, refusal to spend time with the alienated parent, or repeating negative narratives instigated by the other parent. To present evidence of parental alienation in court, it’s crucial to document interactions, seek witnesses, and potentially bring in a mental health expert to testify about the psychological impact of parental alienation on the child. Courts take parental alienation in custody disputes seriously, and proving it could impact custody decisions in your favor.
5. How can I modify child support or custody agreements after my divorce?
Life circumstances often change after a divorce, and you may need to seek a modification of child support or custody agreements. A request for custody modification might be due to a relocation, job change, or significant shift in financial situations. Courts allow for post-divorce custody modifications if you can prove that the change is in the child’s best interest. Similarly, if your financial situation has shifted, you may need to adjust child support payments. A child support modification process involves submitting proof of your new financial status and a formal request to the court. Whether you’re seeking a change in co-parenting arrangements or financial obligations, it’s essential to follow the legal steps to modify these agreements properly.
