About Dayton C. Meadows V

Attorney Biography

Meadows Law PLLC in Morgantown delivers relentless defense for what matters most. Our firm is a powerhouse in criminal defense and property loss litigation, closing 154 cases in 2025 with over $2.4M secured in civil recoveries.

Dayton C. Meadows V. brings unwavering commitment to safeguarding his clients’ freedom and property. His practice is built on the belief that every individual deserves control over their own path, and that such autonomy should only be relinquished in the rarest of circumstances. At Meadows Law PLLC, this philosophy drives every case, ensuring personalized, aggressive representation tailored to each client’s unique needs.

Dayton’s journey into law was shaped by his upbringing and early experiences. Raised by his father, a United States Marine, he was instilled with core values of accountability, discipline, and hard work. At 18, Dayton enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he honed resilience, learned to navigate high-stakes challenges, and embraced the ethos of defending others’ rights—no matter the adversary or cost.

Now, over a decade later, Dayton channels that passion into Meadows Law PLLC, a Morgantown-based firm dedicated to criminal defense and property loss cases. From misdemeanors to serious felonies, and from insurance disputes to real estate litigation, the firm protects clients facing threats to their autonomy—whether it’s incarceration or the loss of a home due to construction defects or denied claims. In 2025 alone, Meadows Law PLLC closed 154 cases, secured over $2.4 million in civil recoveries, and achieved two not guilty verdicts in circuit court jury trials, showcasing Dayton’s trial expertise and strategic acumen.
