William J. O’Brien

It is important to the pursuit of justice that legal services be available and serve West Virginians in our courts and communities.  It would be a pleasure and an honor to serve that cause through service on the Legal Aid of West Virginia Board of Directors.

Connor Thomas

My name is Connor Thomas, and I am an attorney based in Weston, West Virginia, focusing on court-appointed juvenile abuse and neglect matters, criminal defense, and bankruptcy. In representing indigent clients in cases that profoundly affect their lives and families, I see every day how essential access to legal services is. I would bring to the board a clear understanding of the legal challenges facing our communities and practical insight gained from working directly with those in need. I am grateful for the nomination and would be honored to serve.
