Legal Aid of West Virginia Inc

My wife and I attended the grand opening today! The space is amazing! I have a very dear friend who works here! So proud of all involved!!! So vitally needed and I can't wait to see where they go from here!!👏😀

My experience with Legal Aid of West Virginia as an organization—specifically its leadership and the way cases are managed—was deeply disappointing, especially considering how essential this service is for vulnerable individuals throughout the state. What I expected was a team that would follow through, communicate clearly, and ensure that clients dealing with unsafe housing and landlord retaliation were supported. What I encountered instead was a system that feels overstretched, poorly supervised, and unable to provide meaningful help when people desperately need it. The leadership of Legal Aid needs to take a hard look at how cases are prioritized, how communication is handled, and how clients are informed, guided, and supported. Cases involving retaliation, health hazards, and unsafe l

No one ever got back to me to follow up on my situation. Then months later I receive a letter saying they tried to reach out to me but there was no answer. My call log from my cell phone provider showed no calls from Legal Aid nor any other possible #. And if i needed to proceed with my issue or needed other help to call within so many days of receiving the letter. I immediately called and it was 16 til quitting time, and to no surprise, no answer.

If I could give zero starts I would. I am to respond to what I believe (and having read laws)- is an illegal practice-(complicated case) and my "appointed attorney," using the term loosely, Andrew Earley has not followed up.

I sent everything he requested, (after he was 45 minutes late in calling), and was told they could not give extensions to the attorneys or provide legal advice over the phone. (No extension provided during the only call). Exactly what are the tax payer dollars, myself included, paying for? To those of you who donate to the "Galas" or donate period- remember this- those of us who are stuck in the middle, or low-income- do NOT receive what Legal Aid of WV claims. Zero advice (I

AS OF 6/6/22, STILL NO RESPONSE. LYING LAWYERS AND STAFF. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! I reached out to this agency years ago when I had a CKHA certificate. Moved 6 times in 6 years thru no fault of my own. They couldn't help me with this obvious problem. I received a letter stating this now have a pending case against CKHA with help from the ACLU in getting my accordion file regarding their deceptive practice and pattern behavior. I purchased a home in May thru the Home Blend. Inspectors, appraiser and a structural engineer from Lesage, WV ($250 report) all missed safety issues or morally didn't note it in the home. Because it was vacant, everyone stated the antiquated 100 amps would support a newly installed HVAC unit??? I completed an intake indicating that I now have a mortgage. Assigned an
