Trey Morrone brings nearly thirty years of experience in the areas of education law, municipal law and governmental representation and administration to the firm’s Education Law Group. The firm’s Charleston office will serve as his “home base.” Morrone is the former President of the Wayne County Board of Education and has served leadership roles with several education-based organizations, including the Mountain State Educational Service Cooperative and the West Virginia School Board Association. Additionally, he has classroom experience as a teacher of elementary, middle, high school and college level students.
From 1999 to 2007, Morrone served as Mayor of the City of Kenova. Prior to that role, he served as the city’s attorney. He earned his law degree from the West Virginia University College of Law in 1988.
