Steady counsel when it matters most.
For over three decades, The Law Office of Marvin Walter White has represented individuals, families, and small businesses across West Virginia with the discretion, preparation, and plain-spoken judgment their matters deserve.

Marvin Walter White
Marvin has practiced law in southern West Virginia for more than thirty years. A graduate of the WVU College of Law, he built his practice on a simple idea: treat every client as if their case were the only one on the docket. His work spans family law, estate planning, criminal defense, and civil litigation.
Clients come to Marvin because he answers his own phone, prepares as though he expects to try every case, and tells people the truth about what their matter is worth — even when it isn't what they'd like to hear.
