About

Meadows Law Office is a full-service law firm based in Morgantown, West Virginia, serving clients throughout the region in criminal defense and property-based litigation. Led by attorney Dayton C. Meadows V., the firm focuses on protecting what matters most to its clients: their freedom, property rights, and peace of mind.

Dayton C. Meadows V. founded the practice on principles of individual accountability, integrity, and relentless advocacy. His background—raised by a United States Marine and a Marine Corps veteran himself—shaped his core belief that clients should maintain control over their own lives and futures, with legal rights removed only in the rarest of circumstances. He is supported by a team that includes Seth Huy and Alex Long, offering clients access to diverse legal expertise across multiple practice areas.

The firm's practice areas span criminal defense alongside broader civil litigation. Beyond criminal charges, Meadows Law Office handles business law disputes, real estate litigation, eminent domain matters, property loss and damage claims, and healthcare facility equipment leasing issues. The team also assists with immigration-related proceedings and civil recovery matters. This breadth allows the firm to address complex intersections of law—such as property claims arising from construction defects, fire, flood, or other catastrophic events—and to identify alternative outcomes that clients might not initially recognize.

In 2025 alone, Meadows Law Office closed 154 cases, secured over $2.4 million in civil recoveries, and achieved two not guilty verdicts in circuit court jury trials. Among recent outcomes, the firm secured a $389,000 pre-suit settlement in a premise liability matter and recovered judgments including punitive damages and attorney's fees in breach of contract and fraud cases.

The firm's approach centers on client communication and accessibility. Dayton C. Meadows V. emphasizes that he is reachable at any time, on any day, and through any preferred method of contact. Free initial consultations allow prospective clients to discuss their circumstances before making representation decisions. Client reviews consistently highlight his intelligence, preparation, genuine care for outcomes, and down-to-earth demeanor. Clients report that he stays in contact throughout proceedings, negotiates settlements that exceed initial expectations, and shows up to court thoroughly prepared with supporting documentation and strategic insight.

Meadows Law Office combines sharp legal knowledge with a practical, collaborative approach to problem-solving. The firm maintains strong relationships with trusted third parties and expert professionals, ensuring comprehensive case development and investigation. Rather than offering generic solutions, the practice tailors strategies to the unique facts and demands of each case.

Whether facing criminal charges—including those based on illegally obtained evidence, Fourth Amendment violations, or other constitutional concerns—or protecting property rights in the face of loss or legal dispute, clients can expect a team that understands the real-world stakes and remains committed to delivering results that matter.
