How is Rist Law Offices Different?

Our past and current clients praise our ability to communicate with them about their cases.

All of our clients have the email and cellular phone number of everyone who works on their case. This way, when a client has a question about their case, we can respond the same day or the next day at the latest.

We also have substantial experience with the inside workings of insurance companies throughout the United States. Thomas Rist worked as an insurance defense lawyer for numerous well known insurance companies in West Virginia and California before opening Rist Law Offices. Past clients have told us that this experience clearly made a huge difference when it came time to settle or try their case. Read more about Rist Law Offices here.
