Shuman, McCuskey & Slicer, PLLC

West Virginia — Kentucky — Virginia — Ohio

The law firm of Shuman, McCuskey & Slicer, PLLC provides employers large and small with effective legal representation in state and federal courts throughout West Virginia and in many of the state and federal courts of Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio as well.

These clients include insurance companies, hospitals, public entities, natural gas and coal mining companies, financial institutions, and large and small businesses. Our lawyers represent and advise clients regarding a full range of employment law issues including the provisions of the West Virginia Human Rights Act; deliberate intent claims (Mandolitis Claims); wrongful discharge claims; sexual harassment claims; hostile work environment claims; civil rights claims (Section 1983 litigation); age discrimination, sex discrimination, and racial discrimination and discharge claims filed under various federal and state statutes, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); wage and hour claims; employment contract and executive compensation disputes; grievance procedures; unfair labor practices arbitrations; workers' compensation defense; and proceedings before the West Virginia Human Rights Commission.

As a firm, we have a strong record of success with employment-related disputes — much of which can be traced directly to the fact that all of our members have actual trial experience in employment law concerns. As such, we are able to work closely with each client and develop aggressive and effective defense strategies against claims of discrimination, sexual harassment, or wrongful termination at both the trial and appellate levels.
