we represent our clients with zeal and aggressiveness while remaining professional,

Whether your dispute involves your representation in small claims court, federal
court, or the Supreme Court of the United States, you will be assured of receiving
the high quality representation that is our standard. Often we are called
upon to evaluate cases at the appellate level and we routinely assume cases as
appellate counsel and also the firm’s appellate section has successfully prosecuted
cases of first impression in West Virginia on such distinct issues as wage and
hour law, insurance coverage, hedonic damage and jurisdiction. We also
counsel clients on litigation avoidance and offer strategies to minimize legal
exposure. Although Martin & Seibert, L.C. is well known for success in litigation,
we are eager to offer our clients a realistic appraisal of the issues before proceeding
to trial or appeal. We also evaluate a client’s business and provide counseling
on practices necessary to avoid claims. Defense on behalf of insurance
carriers, self-insureds and corporations continues to be an area of primary emphasis.
We have represented clients in cases that require a degree of sophistication typically
found only in large, metropolitan-area firms. Litigators at Martin & Seibert,
L.C. have repeatedly litigated cases involving issues such as asbestosis, quadriplegia,
professional liability, extracontractual liability, medical malpractice, transportation
accidents, product design and manufacturing defects, multi-party/multi-injury,
catastrophic injury, arson, fire investigation, construction, complex litigation,
and insurance coverage. |
