Introducing the Lawyers & Leaders
Class of 2025
KENZIE DYE
West Virginia’ s legal professionals are more than advocates in the courtroom. They are mentors, leaders and changemakers who dedicate their time and talents to advancing justice and improving lives. From shaping policy to strengthening communities, their work touches every corner of the state and beyond. These individuals represent some of the very best of the profession, using their knowledge and influence to build a better future.
To honor these contributions, West Virginia Executive( WVE) and the
West Virginia University( WVU) College of Law created the Lawyers & Leaders awards program in 2017. The program highlights legal professionals who stand out not just for their career accomplishments but for the meaningful ways they give back— through volunteerism, mentorship and civic engagement. Each class serves as a reminder of how the legal field can be a powerful force for good.
“ It is an honor to celebrate these amazing Lawyers & Leaders as the WVU College of Law partners with
West Virginia Executive magazine. Since this program started, we have recognized lawyers who not only exhibit impeccable professional reputations but also have made their mark in helping our state, local communities, organizations and individuals in remarkable ways,” says Susan S. Brewer, interim dean for the WVU College of Law.“ This year’ s recipients are wonderful role models who inspire all of us to expand our impact in the workplace and beyond. We congratulate each member of the 2025 class for bringing credit to our profession in everything they do.”
WVE is proud to present the Lawyers & Leaders Class of 2025. Their leadership, dedication and service continue to raise the standard for what it means to be part of West Virginia’ s legal community.
