FELLOW HONORARIUM
The WV Bar Foundation and its Board of Directors are pleased to announce that Antero Resources of Bridgeport, WV, has made a generous contribution as an honorarium to recognize Henry “Hank” Lawrence on being named as a WV Bar Foundation Fellow.
Hank, pictured above, joined with fourteen other lawyers and three judges, who are members of the 2014 Fellows class and were celebrated during the Annual Fellows Dinner on April 24 in Charleston.
