Criminal Defense and Injury Attorney Stands Tall in #Morgantown, West Virginia. #WVU

Frank Walker Law Morgantown Lawyer WVU

If visitors and residents in Morgantown were not familiar with Attorney Frank Walker before today, the unfamiliarity will soon fade.

Morgantown Criminal Defense and Injury Attorney, Frank Walker of Frank Walker Law, has recently brokered an agreement to advertise on the large billboard in Morgantown, West Virginia right off the Star City exit.

According to Walker, the deal was a no brainer, “I drive past that billboard every time I come to my Morgantown office for Court. The board had been sitting empty for so long, it just made sense to place my ad in front of the thousands of other people passing the exact same billboard. The location is highly visible and one of the first and last advertisements people see when they enter or leave Morgantown for a business or pleasure.”

The Billboard advertisement is also visible to visiting teams and universities that fly into Pittsburgh Airport and drive into Morgantown to battle the WVU Mountaineers.

An alumnus of WVU Law, Walker has received tons of texts and emails from old professors and law school friends once the billboard was installed. Attorney Walker’s response to all the messages is simple, “It’s great to hear from old friends and seeing the billboard get captured and shared across social media, but just don’t text and drive!

Is Notification Required for the Military to Label Someone a Deserter?

frankwalkerlaw_Pittsburgh_Attorney

A man from Hampton was arrested and taken into custody this recently after being accused of deserting from the Army. The 49-year-old veteran filed a petition in federal court the day after his arrest to challenge the accusation and his arrest and subsequent incarceration.

According to the petition, which was filed by the man’s attorney, Allegheny County police made the arrest in front of the man’s wife and children. There was a bench warrant out for his arrest which was dated the 6th of May, 2011 and which accused him of deserting the Army earlier that year.

The petition filed by his attorney states that the man was medically discharged from the military back in 2000 and had been employed with a company in Allegheny County working in an executive capacity ever since. It states also that the man was never given any notification about the desertion charges filed against him and that he had been put in jail without due process.

The facts of this case will be particularly interesting to see – if they ever come out. For now it seems that the military must prove that the man was, in fact, unlawfully away from his post. Additionally, if the man was never given any notification that he was being sought, that fact alone may be not only interesting, but also telling as to the potential outcome of the case.

Commercial Pilot in Federal Custody for Sexual Assault

An Oakdale man is in federal prison as a result of an alleged visit he paid to a 15 year Ohio girl in December, which resulted in sexual activity. According to the FBI the man, who is a commercial pilot, met the girl online and traveled to West Virginia in order to have sex with her. It was not immediately clear why the girl was in West Virginia.

The accused, who is a pilot for Republic Airlines, allegedly met the 15 year old girl on a website called MeetMe.com in December. During online chatting the victim revealed to him that she was 15 years old. The two allegedly met in person and engaged in sexual activity in December, but the girl’s mother became suspicious when the girl came home early after saying she was going to stay with a friend for the night. The girl’s mother also noticed that her daughter smelled like men’s cologne. The girl’s mother then notified authorities about the situation, which led to the 28 year old pilot’s arrest.

When FBI agents raided the home of the accused on February 7, they searched his cell phone for evidence of the crime. In his cellphone the man had allegedly listed the girl as “Ohio 15,” an indication of his knowledge of her age. His text message record also allegedly indicated that he had contacted the girl for a second meeting the day before the FBI raid.
