Two years before that, in 1871, Huddleston, Bolen, Beatty, Porter & Copen's predecessor firm had commenced practice in Huntington, West Virginia with the new railroad as one of its clients.
That relationship continues today with the C & O's successor, CSX Transportation, Inc. - possibly the longest continuing law firm/client relationship in West Virginia's legal history. For over 120 years the firm has combined stability and continuity in the representation of its clients with an abiding respect for the ever changing nature of the practice of law.
