CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Former U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin has returned to his private practice at Goodwin & Goodwin, LLP in Charleston following his run for governor.
Goodwin’s resumed private practice will focus upon complex litigation, corporate investigations and mass torts, he stated in a release Thursday.
“I am delighted to rejoin what my partners call ‘the smallest big firm in this part of the country,’” said Goodwin. “Our boutique atmosphere and vast experience permits us to offer very personal and smart service to our clients. I bring the same strong commitment and sense of duty to my new clients as I offered to the United States of America. I look forward to a running start serving clients who want aggressive and informed counsel.”
Goodwin was a leading prosecutor in the trial of former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship, who was convicted of conspiracy to violate mine safety laws, and began serving a one-year federal prison sentence last week.
He served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia from May 2010 through Dec. 2015.
