Kaufman, Kevin S, ATY

Divorce
No, the firm cannot represent both parties under any circumstances. However, we do represent many individuals through uncontested divorces where the parties reach agreements. Please do not hesitate to call to discuss your case.
Child Support
Child Custody and Visitation
The attorneys at Kaufman & McPherson, PLLC understand how passionately you love your children. We help you resolve complicated child custody disputes, either through negotiation or litigation. If you need to modify your parenting plan at any time, we are also here to assist you, with responsive and creative solutions.
Adoption
Given the emotional investment of all participants, the adoption process can be overwhelming. At Kaufman & McPherson, PLLC, we are meticulous in managing the interests and expectations of biological parents, adoptive parents, stepparents, relatives, and other parties. We help guide our clients through the adoption process, whether stepparent adoption, agency adoption, grandparent adoption, or foster care (DHHR) adoption.
Spousal Support
Legal Separation
Child Abuse
Mediation is becoming a much more frequently used tool in West Virginia family law disputes. The family court system in West Virginia may order mediation when parents cannot agree on shared parenting responsibilities. An exception to the mediation rule is allowed for cases where there is a history of domestic violence, child abuse or neglect, substance abuse, mental illness, or a significant power imbalance.

Criminal Defense
This honor is given to only the top 100 attorneys in each state or region for their superior skills, qualifications, and results as criminal defense or civil plaintiff lawyers. Membership in The National Trial Lawyers provides recognition to these distinguished attorneys and provides essential legal news, information, networking, and continuing education to trial lawyers across the United States.
DUI/DWI
Drunk driving causes roughly 10,000 fatalities per year in the U.S., resulting in a cost to our society of about $44 billion annually. Alcohol impairs many of the exact skills necessary for safe driving – response time, the ability to steer and brake effectively, and the ability to visually track moving objects.
Wrongful Death
These suits attempt to compensate the deceased person’s (decedent’s) estate for the injuries the decedent suffered and the costs they incurred, as well as the surviving family for their loss. The wrongful death attorneys at the firm of Kaufman & McPherson, PLLC help families get justice for the loss of their loved ones. We provide dedicated and compassionate service to grieving families throughout West Virginia.
Traffic Violations
If an injured plaintiff is in any way responsible for the accident, the court assigns a percentage of fault and reduces the amount the plaintiff may recover proportionally. Therefore, if a plaintiff entered the intersection while paying more attention to a text message than to oncoming traffic, but the court finds that the driver could have stopped in time if he hadn’t been speeding, the court could assign 20 percent of the blame to the pedestrian and 80 percent to the driver. If the pedestrian had a total claim of $100,000, he could collect $80,000 from the defendant.
Sex Crimes
Assault
Restraining Order

Construction Litigation
Injured parties who want to sue over construction defects must also be aware of the statute of repose, §55-2-6a of the West Virginia Code, which limits the period of time for which a person can sue over a defective improvement to real property. For example, if you hired a contractor to build a deck and it collapsed, causing bodily injury, that accident would have to have happened within ten years of the completion of the work.
Property Damage
Allow us to fight on your behalf for compensation for damages such as medical bills, property damage repairs if necessary, lost income, loss of enjoyment of life, and any other expenses that may arise as a result of you being a passenger in a vehicle that crashed.

Personal Injury
Any time you have been injured in an accident caused by the negligence of someone else, West Virginia personal injury law provides the right to pursue compensation from the responsible party for expenses relating to your injuries.
Medical Malpractice
Many medical conditions are impossible to detect, even to an experienced physician. However, if a doctor fails to diagnose a condition that could have been detected by another medical professional, it may be a case of medical malpractice. This may be a result of inadequate examination, failure to conduct appropriate tests or failure to connect the dots between test results or symptoms.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Under the negligence rule, the owner may not be held strictly liable for injuries or death caused by their dog, on their property, unless it can be proved they knew or should have known that the dog was dangerous. One way to prove negligence is to show that the dog has bitten before. If a dog bites someone, the owner might then be considered to be aware of the animal’s potentially aggressive behavior. However, this can also be proven in other ways, such as proof of the dog having growled or bared its teeth in the past.

Trusts and Estates

Trusts
We stayed the case pending the resolution of an appeal of a different case involving the same issue, of which we became aware while building our case. After that appeal was concluded, we negotiated a settlement which provided sufficient up-front revenue for our client to purchase a home and a car. Additionally, a major portion of this recovery was placed in a “structured settlement” which will provide monthly income to the client and his wife. It also provides favorable tax treatment for that recovery. Additionally, a special needs trust was created which will be the payee of the settlement funds, thereby allowing our client to continue to receive governmental assistance with his medical care, which is a substantial additional benefit in light of his serious burn injuries.
