Mediation & Arbitration

At Shuman, McCuskey & Slicer, PLLC, we recognize that litigation is not always the most appropriate way to resolve issues.  No matter how effective lawyers may be at securing results for their clients in court, litigation will always be fraught with uncertainties.  For this reason, we offer mediation and arbitration services to those persons and companies interested in exploring alternative means of dispute resolution.

With decades of experience as a firm and attorneys on staff who have served as arbitrators, mediators, and experts, our firm is well-equipped to represent those in West Virginia and in the adjoining areas of Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and Eastern Ohio, in mediation and arbitration involving:

• Insurance
• Medical Malpractice
• Long-Term Care
• Employment Law
• Workers' Compensation
• Public Entities
• Gas and Coal Industry Companies
• Asbestos and Toxic Torts
• Products Liability
• Personal injury
• Professional Malpractice
• Bank Operations

In many cases, the mediation and arbitration services we offer have achieved outstanding results at a fraction of the cost and time of litigation.  Regardless of the method used, we remain zealous advocates for our clients' interests and work to see that their rights are protected and their goals are achieved.

Expert Services

When expert services are needed in litigation, our lawyers have served parties well in the fields of bad faith, unfair trade practices, and legal malpractice.  With years of trial and appellate experience in general negligence and specific niches such as the gas and coal industry, we are able to offer sound advice in trial preparation or expert testimony on acceptable standards and customs in the legal field and particular industries.
