Frank Walker Earns Ph.D. in Instructional Leadership — What It Means for Our Clients and Community

At Frank Walker Law, we believe that knowledge is power—especially when it comes to protecting your rights and defending your freedom. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Founding Attorney Frank C. Walker II has earned his Ph.D. in Instructional Management and Leadership from Robert Morris University.

This isn’t just another credential—it’s a continuation of Attorney Walker’s lifelong commitment to standing up for individuals caught in a complex and often unfair legal system.


Why a Ph.D.?

As one of the most sought-after criminal defense attorneys in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, Attorney Walker has seen firsthand how decisions made by police officers, prosecutors, judges, and probation officers can change a person’s life forever. His doctoral research focused on a simple but powerful question:

What happens when those decision-makers are better informed about the real-world impact of incarceration?

His dissertation, titled “Reversing Course: Gauging Perceptions of Stakeholders in the Criminal Justice System Towards Reform to Decrease Mass Incarceration,” explored how access to local justice data can reshape the way the system operates. The findings were clear—when stakeholders are shown the facts, many begin to reflect and change.


What This Means for You

Whether you are facing criminal charges, fighting to clear your name, or simply want to know your rights, you deserve an attorney who is not only experienced in the courtroom—but also dedicated to understanding and improving the system itself.

Attorney Walker’s Ph.D. brings added insight into how justice works—and where it fails. That knowledge translates into stronger legal strategies, smarter advocacy, and a deeper commitment to every case we take on in Morgantown, Fairmont, Clarksburg, and throughout North-Central West Virginia.


Still Fighting. Still Focused. Still Here for You.

This degree does not mark the end of a journey. It’s the next step in a larger mission: to defend the rights of individuals, to speak truth to power, and to pursue justice one case at a time.

We’re proud of this achievement. But more importantly, we’re proud to continue serving you with the same grit, focus, and dedication that built Frank Walker Law into the trusted name it is today.
