Principal
Brocton G. Skeen
Brocton’s practice focuses on Business, Bankruptcy, Estate Planning and Oil and Gas/Energy. Brocton held a life long curiosity about the oil and gas and energy sectors of the economy before attending and graduating from Appalachian School of Law, in the heart of Virginia’s coal and gas country. This naturally drew him to the unique blend of core areas of law his practice embodies.
Before starting his practice he worked at one of the nation’s largest natural gas production companies, where he employed his negotiation skills and built an extensive title and real estate background in the company’s land department. This time period provided vast experience in developing, setting, and executing business strategies, budgets, and project management.
A West Virginia native, Brocton is also a graduate of West Virginia University Institute of Technology (WVU Tech) with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Government, and holds a Master in Business Administration from Pennsylvania State University. While at WVU Tech, his senior capstone project was published in The West Virginia Historical Society Quarterly based on the uniqueness and quality of his original research. In his spare time, he enjoys fly-fishing, hunting, hiking, and golfing.
