Robert Noone has represented injured workers from "day one" in a legal career that began over 25 years ago. A past partner in the labor law firm of Crandall & Pyles, he formed Robert Noone Legal Services (1989) in Logan, WV, continuing his primarily focus on workers compensation and social security. He has served as a past chairperson of the State Bar Workers Compensation Committee and lectured for bar and professional associations on topics of workers compensation, occupational pneumoconiosis and law office management. In the mid-90's he helped create Logan Health Right to provide free health care to the area's uninsured.

Noone also enjoys a concentration in juvenile law which resulted in the WV Supreme Court of Appeals first placing him on the Juvenile Justice Committee (1992) and later on the Court Improvement Project which has sought to improve delivery of services to abused and neglected children in the court system. He is a founding member and current Chairperson of the Logan County Child Advocacy Center, started in 2008.

Since 2003, Robert Noone has worked in close association with Bucci Bailey & Javins, serving in the capacity "of counsel" to them in the Logan community, as they offer comprehensive legal representation and advocacy.

On the not-so-serious side, Noone is known nationally as an entertainer in the legal world touring with "The Bob Noone Show" (a/k/a "Bob Noone and The Well Hung Jury"). Having several CDs and a DVD to his credit, his audiences range from Federal Supreme Court Justices to family physicians in venues stretching from Hawaii to the Greenbrier Resort.
