About Keith
Keith Hoover built his professional life around West Virginia courts and civic institutions. He took a traditional path through state schools, earning a Bachelor of Arts in history and political science from West Virginia Wesleyan College in 2002 and completing his law degree at West Virginia University in 2009. Those years set the groundwork for a career spent largely inside the state’s legal system.
After law school, Hoover moved quickly into practice. Records show he became a member of Flaherty Sensabaugh Bonasso in 2010. That affiliation placed him at a firm known for handling a range of matters in West Virginia. He has been active in matters that arise in the state’s trial and appellate forums, and he maintains admission to practice in West Virginia. He is also admitted to appear before the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.
Colleagues describe his approach as steady and professional. He tends to favor clear, direct explanations of legal problems in client meetings. In court he relies on preparation and a methodical presentation of facts and law. Those traits have guided his handling of both contested matters and transactional work over the years.
Hoover’s undergraduate study in history and political science informs how he frames legal issues. He often traces disputes back to underlying facts and institutional context. That habit shows up in written work, where background and chronology are set out plainly. It also carries through to oral argument and client counseling, where he emphasizes the sequence of events and the legal levers available to address them.
Outside the office, Hoover’s record is one of steady professional engagement rather than public spectacle. He has not been the subject of widely publicized cases or national commentary, and public information about extracurricular roles is limited. Instead, his profile is built on day-to-day practice in state courts and ongoing work for clients in West Virginia.
As of 2026 he continues to practice in West Virginia and remains associated with the state’s legal community. His current practice centers on litigation and counseling in West Virginia state courts.
