Administrative Law Attorney in Huntington, WV
Guiding Clients Through Government Agency Processes and Hearings
Administrative law is governed by rules and procedures that are very different from those in traditional courtrooms. At McClure & Goad, our administrative law attorneys in Huntington, WV represent individuals, businesses, and professionals in matters involving state and local government agencies — from licensing and enforcement to appeals and hearings.
Why Administrative Law Matters
Administrative law cases typically arise when a government agency takes action against you — or when you need approval from them. These matters can impact your license, career, property rights, or ability to operate a business. We help you:
- Respond to agency investigations or complaints
- Navigate licensing and permitting issues
- Prepare for disciplinary or enforcement hearings
- Challenge unfavorable rulings through proper appeal channels
The rules are strict, the timelines are short, and missteps can carry long-lasting consequences. That’s why experienced legal guidance is critical.
