Meet Wise, VA Attorney P. Heith Reynolds

P. Heith Reynolds, also known as Heith, is a partner at Mark Hurt Law Firm and our attorney in Wise, Virginia. Originally from Wise County, Heith has deep roots in the Appalachian region and a personal connection to the coal mining community he proudly serves. He attended J.J. Kelly High School before graduating summa cum laude from Clinch Valley College of the University of Virginia, where he was a member of the Darden Society and played on the men’s basketball team. He went on to earn his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law.

With over 28 years of legal experience, Heith has primarily focused on:

• Workers’ Compensation
• Social Security Disability
• Black Lung / Rock Dust
• Personal Injury

He has handled thousands of cases in these areas. In 2026, Heith was recognized by the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) as one of the nation’s top injured workers’ attorneys, a distinction reflecting his sustained commitment to advocating for injured workers and coal miners throughout the region.

Heith’s passion for representing coal miners stems from his upbringing in the coal fields. Both of his grandfathers, whom he considers his heroes, were coal miners who suffered from black lung disease, with one passing away from its complications. Heith honors their legacy by treating every miner he represents with the same care and respect he would have shown his grandfathers. In addition to his legal practice, Heith has presented at various seminars and guest lectured in law school classes. He remains proud of his Appalachian heritage, with one of his fondest memories being riding in a coal truck with his father, who was working to pay for his education.

Outside of his legal work, Heith is active in his church, participating in initiatives to combat addiction, support re-entry, and address homelessness. He enjoys spending time with his wife and family, being with his dogs, and time spent on the water.

Our Practice – How We Help Clients

Our Wise, Virginia attorney P. Heith Reynolds and the Mark Hurt Law Firm team represent clients in a variety of injury and non-injury legal matters, including:

• Auto Accidents. We help individuals injured in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents recover the maximum compensation possible.
• Social Security Disability. Obtaining SSD benefits can be a long, arduous, and complex procedure. We help clients navigate every step of the process.
• Defective Products and Liability. When corporate greed results in an injury or death, we seek to hold all negligent parties responsible.
• Workplace Injuries. When an employee is injured at work, we help file workers’ compensation and/or third-party claims in seeking to help cover mounting medical bills.
• Commercial Trucking Accidents. Commercial trucking accidents require a lawyer who understands the laws pertaining to commercial carriers and is not afraid to take on big trucking and insurance companies. Not only are we not afraid to take on big companies, but we also will not hesitate to take them to court to aggressively fight for every dollar to which our clients are entitled.
• Defective Medical Devices. We represent people injured by defective implants, devices, and prescription drugs.
• Wrongful Death. We work closely with families to seek justice for the loss of a loved one.

How Much are Legal Fees?

Injuries, Workers’ Compensation, Black lung/Rock Dust, Social Security Disability Claims – No Fee Unless Compensation is Recovered

We represent clients in injury, whistleblowing, workers’ compensation, and car accident, and wrongful death cases on contingency. This means that no fee is owed unless we are successful in obtaining compensation on their behalf. Further, we advance all litigation expenses while a case is ongoing (this amount is usually paid out of a jury award or settlement).
