Charleston, WV (October 22, 2021) – Kay Casto & Chaney PLLC is pleased to announce that Cynthia L. Wilson has joined the firm as an attorney in the Charleston office. Wilson’s extensive career with the Public Service Commission of West Virginia will be utilized to provide clients with valuable experience in the areas of utility law, energy and natural resources law, and government relations.

Wilson’s work with the Public Service Commission began in 1995. For more than 25 years, she provided substantive and procedural legal advice to the Commissioners in their regulatory capacity, in all areas of Commission jurisdiction — water, sewer, natural gas, electric, motor carrier safety, telephone, cable television, solid waste collection, landfills, pipeline transportation, railroad safety, veterans’ markers, and coal resource transportation systems. Wilson also represented the PSC in Supreme Court appeals.

Prior to this experience, Wilson served as an attorney with the Mountaineer Gas Company, where she appeared in regulatory, administrative, and civil proceedings in subject matters that included oil and gas, rate proceedings, rulemakings, commercial disputes, human rights, eminent domain, torts, bankruptcy and workers’ compensation cases.

Earlier in Wilson’s career, she was an associate in a local law firm in their energy and real estate practice groups; a law clerk at the firm of Kircher & Phalen in Cincinnati, Ohio; and a judicial extern for The Honorable Robert A. Steinberg, U.S. Magistrate, also in Cincinnati Ohio.
Wilson attended law school at the University of Cincinnati (J.D., 1989), where she earned the Henry A. Morrill Prize for Constitutional Law, and the Lawrence Maxwell Prize for Appellate Advocacy. She was also awarded the Harrison W. Ewing Fellowship in Law from Alpha Chi Omega. Wilson attended undergraduate school at Marshall University (B.A., 1981) and majored in journalism with a political science minor. She graduated summa cum laude with numerous awards and inclusion in honorary fraternities associated with her journalism coursework. During her time at Marshall University, Wilson was named a Judith A. Herndon Legislative Fellow within the West Virginia House of Delegates.

Now at Kay Casto & Chaney PLLC, Wilson will be a member of the Public Utility and Municipal Law practice groups, working closely with Robert R. Rodecker, who for decades has represented clients before the Public Service Commission on regulatory matters involving electric, gas, telecommunications, and water and sewer utilities and motor carriers and solid waste facilities.
