The firm originated in 1925 as Hall & Paul, practicing in the Board
of Trade Building in Wheeling, West Virginia. John D. Phillips joined
the firm (then known as Hall, Goodwin & Paul) in 1932. The firm grew
and evolved under Mr. Phillips’ guidance, and now includes thirteen
attorneys and a support staff of ten. Since 1993, the firm has practiced
as Phillips, Gardill, Kaiser & Altmeyer.
In
1980, the firm purchased the former office of Edward S. Phillips, at
61 Fourteenth Street in Wheeling, where it continues
to practice today. The firm purchased and renovated a three
story structure at 59 Fourteenth
Street, built in 1889 by Dr. John C. Hupp, a famous Wheeling
Physician, abolitionist and proponent of free education
for black children and equal
pay for female teachers. The structure houses the John
D. Phillips Library. The renovation of the former Hupp
house was recognized by the Friends
of Wheeling for its preservation of Wheeling’s architectural heritage.
