About Armstrong Law
Armstrong Law, PLLC is a growing general-practice firm in Gassaway, proudly protecting the individuals and families of central West Virginia. From our office in Braxton County, our team serves clients across the region — Braxton, Nicholas, Lewis, Upshur, Webster, Clay, Calhoun, and Gilmer counties — in family law, criminal defense, civil litigation, property law, personal injury, and estates.
The firm was founded by Daniel K. Armstrong, a former Green Beret and combat veteran. The mindset he brought home — prepare hard, fight for people, and never leave anyone behind — is the mindset behind our practice. We are a small, close-knit team that does serious work for the people of our community, and we are growing.
The Position
We are seeking a full-time Associate Attorney to join our Gassaway office. This is not a back-room research job: at a firm our size, you will carry your own caseload, appear in court regularly, and work directly with clients from the first consultation through resolution — with experienced attorneys down the hall when you need them.
Our associate will practice primarily in:
* *Family law* — divorce, custody, adoption, and one of our priority practice areas: grandparents' rights, including kinship placement for grandchildren in state custody and court-ordered grandparent visitation
* *Criminal defense* — including court-appointed cases
* *Civil litigation and personal injury*
* *Property law and estates/probate*
Responsibilities
* Manage a caseload across our practice areas from intake through disposition
* Appear in circuit, family, and magistrate courts across central West Virginia
* Draft pleadings, motions, briefs, and correspondence
* Conduct legal research and case strategy with our team
* Meet with clients, explain their options honestly, and keep them informed
* Take depositions, negotiate settlements, and try cases as experience allows
Qualifications
* Juris Doctor from an accredited law school
* *Active license to practice law in West Virginia, in good standing (required)*
* Strong legal research, writing, and oral advocacy skills
* The judgment and temperament to work directly with clients in difficult moments
* Willingness to travel to courthouses across central West Virginia (valid driver's license required)
* Experience in family law or criminal litigation is a plus, but not required — newly licensed attorneys with strong credentials and a desire to be in court are encouraged to apply
What We Offer xzgxqkn
* A real caseload and real courtroom experience from the start — not years of waiting
* Mentorship from experienced attorneys, with room to grow your own practice areas
* Paralegal and administrative support, and a modern, organized practice (we run on Clio)

Job Type: Full-time
Pay: From $80,000.00 per year
Benefits:
* 401(k)
