I received my refund from your law office, and before anything else, I just want to extend my heartfelt thanks. I am deeply grateful to your entire office for all that you’ve done for my sweet granddaughter, Naomi. Because of your hard work and care, she’s now able to tend to her horses and enjoy the simple joys of childhood, things every child should be able to do. A special thank-you to Teresa, Jo Anna, and Alexandria for making sure all the necessary paperwork reached me right when I needed it. Most importantly, thank you for helping bring Naomi back into my life. My gratitude is truly beyond words. I would recommend this office! 10/10!

I would highly recommend Klie Law Offices to anyone in need of legal representation. The entire staff has been supportive and very professional in addressing my needs. Sarah Petitto-Myers represented me with tenacity and integrity, which made a lasting impression with me. Joanna Browning was always so helpful in communicating with me on what documentation that I needed to provide for my case, she also proved to be a great listener when I needed to vent frustrations. Samantha Tanner has always been there to address any questions or concerns that I had involving my case. Klie Law Offices will represent you in a fair and professional manner, don’t hesitate to make a phone call to them.

If I could give a ZERO star review I definitely would! Showed up to ONE court case with us for a whole 30 minutes didn’t even speak on our behalf let the judge do all the talking then charged us 5,000 for the ONE case , then said we could make payments then never contacted us again sent us a letter to revoke counsel then after they backed out of counsel then charged us 400 more dollars for them backing out on counsel THIS LAW firm is a joke we heard so many people say bad things and we believed the reviews and turned out to be the biggest JOKE of this year

I had a great experience with the people of Klie law office. My attorney was so helpful, knowledgeable, and the overall counsel was very nice and hardworking. With Ambria, Heather, Samantha, and Karl… I couldn’t have prayed for a better team to handle and win my case and that’s just a few names to mention but if you are in WV they’re the ones who will go above and beyond for you when you need someone to fight for you. And if you guys see this I want you to know I love you guys from my heart and may God bless you all!

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.

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.

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. What should I do immediately after an accident in West Virginia?

    After an accident, prioritize your safety and health. Call emergency services if needed, seek medical attention, document the scene (photos, videos, witness information), and report the accident to the appropriate authorities. Avoid making statements about fault to insurance companies before consulting a personal injury lawyer.

    2. How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in West Virginia?

    In West Virginia, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline typically results in losing the right to file a lawsuit, so it’s crucial to act promptly.

    3. How is fault determined in West Virginia personal injury cases?

    West Virginia follows a modified comparative fault rule. This means you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

    4.What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?

    You may be entitled to compensation for:

    • Economic damages: Medical bills, lost wages, property damage.
    • Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life.
    • Punitive damages: In rare cases, to punish egregious misconduct.
    5. Do I need to hire a personal injury lawyer, and how much does it cost?

    While you can handle a claim on your own, a lawyer increases your chances of maximizing compensation by navigating complex legal processes and dealing with insurance companies. Most personal injury lawyers in West Virginia work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case, typically taking a percentage of the recovery.
