Travis Sayre knows what it means to earn everything through discipline and effort. Raised in Wood County, West Virginia, he worked sanding and refinishing hardwood floors alongside his father, Bill Sayre, while putting himself through college and law school. That foundation shaped the lawyer he became — grounded, accountable, and deeply aware of what ordinary people are facing when life becomes uncertain. Today, those same values guide every client relationship and every case he takes on.
Since joining the West Virginia State Bar in 2011, Travis has handled matters ranging from misdemeanors to the
most serious felony charges, including violent crimes, drug trafficking, and homicide-level allegations. His record includes not-guilty verdicts, favorable resolutions, dismissals, and suppression of unlawfully obtained evidence. He prepares every case as though it will go to trial because preparation changes outcomes.
As an accredited attorney with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Travis represents veterans across the country in disability compensation claims and appeals. He understands that for many veterans, dealing with the VA can feel like fighting another battle — and approaches those cases with the same commitment he brings to the courtroom.
Travis stays active in respected legal organizations so clients benefit from modern, forward-thinking advocacy. Outside the law, Travis has practiced Judo since 2005 and holds a third-degree black belt. Years of martial arts training sharpened the same qualities that matter in high-stakes litigation.

I trusted him with my future, thank god I did!
I cannot express enough gratitude for [Attorney's Name]. Facing my second drug conviction, I was terrified and fully prepared for prison time. From our very first meeting, he made me feel heard and truly supported. He did incredible homework on my case, leaving no stone unturned, and was always acce...
"Travis Sayre is an excellent criminal defense lawyer. He's one of the most hardworking, smart, and knowledgeable criminal lawyers in WV and the mid-Atlantic region. He cares. He will fight for clients. And he knows how to win. He is also a "lawyer's lawyer." I had a bank robbery case with incriminating DNA evidence and Travis helped me get up to speed on the science and forensic aspects of the case because he is constantly attending advanced training seminars around the country and learning cutting-edge techniques. Based on his training and insight, I prepared very effective cross examinations of five witnesses involved in the collection and analysis of the DNA evidence, which was critical to our defense. Whenever I can't find an answer to a question in a criminal case I call Travis Sayre first. I would recommend Travis to anyone in WV or around the country who needs a lawyer handle a difficult case for a defendant charged or along with any lawyer as co-counsel."
