Paul W. Roop, II, is a Beckley attorney who represents clients in bankruptcy law, consumer protection, and personal injury matters across West Virginia. He provides clear legal guidance to people facing serious financial problems, unfair business practices, and injury-related losses. His practice is built around helping clients understand their rights, weigh their options, and move forward with confidence. Through Roop Law Office, L.C., he handles matters in both state and federal courts and works to protect clients from lasting legal and financial harm.

Paul earned his J.D. from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1989. He also earned a Bachelor’s Degree, Summa Cum Laude, in Accounting and Political Science from West Virginia University in 1986. He was in the Beta Alpha Psi Society. His legal education gave him a strong foundation in research, analysis, advocacy, and case strategy. That training continues to shape his approach to client service and courtroom representation. He uses his academic background to explain legal issues in simple terms and to develop practical solutions for each case. His education supports the careful, disciplined work required for bankruptcy filings, litigation, negotiations, and dispute resolution.

Paul worked on major litigation matters and gained valuable courtroom and case preparation experience early in his legal career. In 1991, he returned to Beckley and served as a lead litigation attorney for a respected law firm until 1998. He then founded Roop Law Office LC to build a practice focused on the areas of law that mattered most to him. Over the years, he has developed strong experience in handling complex disputes and guiding clients through difficult legal challenges.

Paul W. Roop, II, has helped many people address debt, respond to creditor pressure, pursue compensation after injuries, and stand up to unfair conduct. Bankruptcy matters remain a major part of his practice, including Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, and Chapter 13 cases. He also represents clients in consumer protection claims, product liability matters, car accident cases, wrongful death claims, mining injury cases, and work injury disputes.
