Ask the Lawyer – Tom Peyton: Greenbrier Hotel Legal Battle, Social Security Disability Claims, and Estate Planning
Attorney Tom Peyton joins Jeff Jenkins by phone from Cleveland, where his father Harvey Peyton is recovering from open heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. Tom breaks down the latest legal developments in the Greenbrier Hotel dispute — including a 60-day stay granted by a federal judge to allow Justice-affiliated entities time to refinance and pay off the primary debt held by an Omni-affiliated creditor, nearly $4 million in unremitted sales tax owed to the State Tax Department, and the competing efforts by both Omni and the Justice entities to block the state tax department's intervention in the case. Tom also covers Social Security Disability claims in depth — explaining why nearly all initial applications are denied, the importance of hiring a lawyer before the administrative hearing stage, and how back pay and contingency fees work. The segment closes with an overview of estate planning, will preparation, and small business services at Peyton Law Firm in Nitro.

06-18-2026 Ask the Lawyer – Tom Peyton: New Supreme Court Justices, Historical Impeachment Drama, and Dog Bite Liability
Tom Peyton joins Dale Cooper fresh off his father Harvey's successful heart surgery in Cleveland to discuss West Virginia's recent judicial elections, including new Supreme Court Justices Flanagan and Kirkpatrick and the closely watched Intermediate Court of Appeals race won by family court judge Jim Douglas. The conversation turns to a look back at the West Virginia Supreme Court's "couch and clock" scandal and subsequent impeachment proceedings, with Peyton drawing parallels to the often unproductive nature of congressional hearings. The second half covers West Virginia's strict liability dog bite statute, the role of homeowner's insurance in animal injury claims, and the importance of documenting incidents at the time they happen to preserve a future legal claim.
