How do you persuade a potential employer that you're a candidate worth taking a chance on?

I've built a great practice for over a decade in an area that has a reputation for being a little off the beaten path - West Virginia. Over the course of my career I've been exposed to issues and experiences that have sharpened me into a very good corporate transactional attorney within the energy sector, but my experience in job hunting for the past two years leads me to the inescapable conclusion that my geographic location may be a strike (or two) against me (being from West Virginia, I'm used to the idea that my attachment to this place isn't always a professional plus). How can I overcome potential geographic biases, and at least get past the gatekeepers to the interview stage?

I would consider relocating if it's a constant struggle.
