Highly Skilled Attorney

Wayne has time and time again proven his legal superiority in both civil and criminal matters. Wayne is easy to get along with and provides highly accurate sound legal advice. He is a master when it comes to negotiating extremely favorable agreements in personal injury cases. He created and uses seve...ral software programs that generate financial spreadsheets for equitable distribution and child support calculations in divorce cases and doesn't miss a dime; this guarantees his clients a fair shake when the potential for unfair results is great. He's highly aggressive in the courtroom and is always willing to put his clients' wants and needs at the forefront of his representation. I would highly recommend Wayne to anybody looking for a down-to-earth lawyer who will stop at nothing to achieve their reasonable goals.

Your nuclear weapon...

My wife on a whim contacted Mr. Van Bibbers office. We had been thrown into a custody situation and only informed at the last minute. My situation was complicated and hard. Spanning two states and four counties in WV. I only expected the worst going in. That I would have to find a way to come of with... the money for the fight of my life. I was wrong. Mr. Van Bibber was extremely attentive to our situation. When he found out that my whole custody issue began when I was at war for my country. The day took on a whole new meaning. He explained to me that he was also a vet although never serving time at war like myself. He respected and was honored to help me out and get me in the right direction to keep my son at home with me. He discussed options I did not even know I had. He got me forms and in touch with courts. So, now I will not be going into this blind. Just as I was before. I have a fighting chance of keeping my son at home. Where he wants to be. Where after all these years he is thriving and becoming the man I know he can be. That is the best feeling in the world. I know that this wouldn't even be possible to even fathom without Mr. Van Bibbers help. He is the only Lawyer that we have ever spoken with that took us seriously and was honest from the gate. Didn't just try to rack up charges and help make the whole situation worse. He also took into account our financial situation. He was honest about cost and what we could expect. Little did I know that he was planning on doing everything that day for free. No cost! He explained that it was for 2 reasons. 1.) I am a fellow veteran. and 2.) because he could see that my son is exactly where he needs to be. So here we are armed and ready. Both myself and my son. Only God knows what the day in court holds. But now I am confident going in now. Thanks to Van Bibbers help. So if you are looking for a lawyer with yours and your children's best interest at heart. Van Bibber is your man.

Attorney review. . .visitation

Mr. G. Wayne Van Bibber consulted with my husband and I in regard to hiring him to take care of a child visitation matter. During the process of seeking the reinstatement of visitation for our daughters (my step daughters), Mr. Van Bibber was attentive to the questions we had in regard to what need...ed to be done and how to go about doing it. Mr. Van Bibber kept us abreast of all actions of the court. . .from court dates, to cancellations, to decisions/judgements of the court/judge. All we wanted was to have visitation reinstated due to the biological mother taking the children out of state. Not only was he successful in getting visitation, but the court awarded us custody. I would definitely recommend Mr. Van Bibber. He is knowledgeable of the law. He was fair and honest in his actions. He advised us in accordance to West Virginia Law and was always prompt and professional in his dealings with us and the court.

Very professional and highly competent attorney.

I'm thrilled with both the personal contact and the professionalism of Mr Van Bibbers staff. I was familiar with the history of Mr Van Bibbers work through other clients. I knew I could count on him to handle my case which on paper was very complex due to different impending factors. I maintained ...the utmost trust that he would do everything right to protect me at the end of the day and he absolutely held up his end of the deal. I'm so happy it's all now behind me. I would gladly and highly recommend this practice to anyone who finds themself needing a lawyer, especially for difficult matters.
