WV Legal Aid Making Cuts

{Charleston, West Virginia}...In response to federal budget cuts that could create a $1.2 million deficit, West Virginia Legal Aid is laying off 15 case handlers and closing its Logan County office. The closing of the Logan office will force the group's Charleston branch to pick up services from that county as well as Mingo County. In 2010, Legal Aid served 24,000 West Virginians.
