Civil Appeals in West Virginia: Know Your Rights, Know the Process

A civil appeal gives you the opportunity to challenge a court decision when you believe a legal error or procedural mistake impacted the outcome of your case. Whether the issue involves a contract dispute, property rights, personal injury judgment, or family law order, West Virginia’s appellate courts allow for review — not to retry the case, but to ensure the law was applied correctly. At Walters Law Firm, PLLC, we guide individuals, families, and businesses through the civil appeals process with clarity, precision, and a deep understanding of West Virginia’s evolving appellate system.
