She received her Juris Doctor from the West Virginia University College of Law in 1996.

She represents clients seeking relief from corporations that have caused harm and handles matters involving workers’ compensation, Social Security, and other civil concerns. Her experience across private representation and court-appointed roles gives her a broad perspective on evidence, advocacy, client needs, and the responsibilities involved when courts rely on lawyers to protect vulnerable people.

Jodi Wood Cunningham has held leadership roles within the West Virginia legal community, including service connected with the West Virginia State Bar Young Lawyers Section and the Continuing Legal Education Commission. Her profile also reflects community involvement beyond her law practice. She brings together plaintiff-side experience, public-service responsibilities, and a varied civil practice.
