W. Va. R. Law. Disciplinary P. 6.8
Period of Limitation of Filing Information
Any information filed alleging impairment or incapacity as a component or basis of a complaint against a lawyer that is filed more than two years after the Complainant knew, or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should have known, of the existence of an impairment or incapacity of a lawyer shall not be considered actionable, nor shall it require a referral pursuant to these Rules, unless it is determined that the impairment or incapacity still exists at the time the complaint is filed. ODC will evaluate information filed beyond the period of limitation set forth by this Rule, including the facts and circumstances of the filing and the
current situation/condition of the lawyer who is the subject of the filing, prior to making a referral to WVJLAP pursuant to these Rules.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
