also known as Ty Nestor
I enjoy the practice of law very much. I didnt start out as an attorney in the traditional sense - the internships through law school - then a clerkship or job with an established firm. Instead, I started alone by myself, and eventually found my way out of a house and into my own law office. I loved it from the start and had I known what it was really like from the beginining I would have never wanted to be anything else. I still learn something new everyday from clients and other attorneys that makes me a better advocate.
What gets me up and going in the morning is that people are depending on me in situations that are extremely important - they are facing potentially life altering circumstances. Situations that can impact their future and the future of their families and all of those who they love and care for. Becoming a lawyer in a sink or swim situtaion on my own made me realize just how much other people entrust lawyers with, and more importantly, how to handle an immense amount of pressure. My slogan is "When its all on the line.."
I like pressure and I play to win.
I love people, and people seem to love me. I love lawyers too because we face similar challenges everyday...and yes, most lawyers care and want the best for you. I feel I have done very well as a lawyer, so much so that I became household name and was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 2020 and again in 2022. That was a unique experienece that provided me with valuable insight into how the law of the State of West Virginia is created and how it can be construed in a courtroom. I would have never had this opportuinty if it were not for the abiity to practice law. As a lawyer, I earned the trust and confidence of my community and was the first Republican Delegate elected to serve the majority of Randolph County in 112 years. I don't like politics nearly as much as working as an attorney. The practice of law continues to provide me with an identity and sense of purpose and I will always remain grateful to my clients and to my State for giving me this privilege and opportunity.
I always approach legal matters as though I was standing in the shoes of my clients - confronted with the same legal dilema. I think that is the only fair way to be when you are in an attorney-client relationship. If you would like to know more about me or what I might be able to offer you just give me a call. I am always open to try to help and make new friends - even if I may not be your best option for your specific case. If however, I ultimately become your lawyer, I promise to give it all I have and I will be honored to serve you.

Hands down the best!
Hired Ty Nestor and he exceeded my expectations in every way. He kept me informed and was very good with the judge in my injury case. Pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend.
