The Law firm of Hill, Peterson, Carper, Bee & Deitzler, PLLC began in 1980, when senior partner, R. Edison Hill, departed a large corporate and insurance defense firm to begin a small personal injury practice. The eight lawyers in this firm engage exclusively in representing victims of personal injury. The PLLC members have each been in practice for 30 years or more. Recognizing that traumatic brain injury from motor vehicle collisions, workplace incidents, defective products or other unexpected trauma is now a highly specialized area of personal injury law, this firm has concentrated on developing expertise in this area, by attending and presenting at related seminars and being very active in the West Virginia Brain Injury Association and the National Brain Injury Foundation.
Other areas of practice include medical malpractice, legal malpractice and products liability, and class action litigation. Insurance bad faith is another area of concentration; and it is recognized that a thorough working knowledge of insurance law and insurance "bad faith" is required in most personal injury litigation. All of our lawyers belong to and are very active in the West Virginia Association for Justice and the American Association for Justice. The firm encourages continuing professional development and participation in Continuing Legal Education seminars, Trial Lawyer Association activities and the National Brain Injury Association.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
