If you have been impacted by the flooding, or know an attorney who has been impacted, please contact Anita Casey (caseya@wvbar.org) to determine what the State Bar can do to assist with helping reconstruct files, finding an office for you to use and/or to arrange for using the State Bar Center as an operational headquarters.
