"West Virginia in the mid-1800s had pioneers, wagon trains, and rugged mounting vistas. And, it had a handful of lawyers, seeking to support the businesses that were starting to tame the rugged terrain. In their own way, these advocates were helping build the territory, much as their mine-blasting, railroad-building counterparts shaped the new landscape around them.

Eustace Gibson was one of those lawyers, an energetic young man who acted as legal counsel for the founder of the city of Huntington, WV. Imagine an ambitious, dedicated lawyer, dreaming of hanging his shingle in the name of justice and equity, becoming a prominent member of the community. Gibson's story marks the birth of Huddleston Bolen, a romantic beginning that has blossomed to meet the needs of the 21st century.

Huddleston Bolen was established in 1871, just eight years after the creation of West Virginia - making it one of the oldest law firms in the state. Although we've been around almost as long as West Virginia itself, we have worked diligently to exceed Mr. Gibson's original vision and set goals for the future he could not imagine necessary or possible.

Proud of its heritage, but committed to the future, the lawyers and staff of Huddleston Bolen are dedicated to serving their clients' current needs, while planning for the changes and often unknowns of tomorrow. We are skilled attorneys, who come to work each day to provide exceptional counsel to our clients. Maybe that's how you get to be on of the oldest, largest law firms in the state, with client relationships first formed just after the Civil War and continuously growing every day."
