Litigation
Your case, no matter how large or how small, is important to you, and so it is important to us. The litigation department at Robinson & McElwee is the firm’s largest practice group. We handle a wide variety of matters, from modest contract disputes to class actions, mass tort and complex litigation involving hundreds of millions of dollars. We staff every case with the litigation lawyers and support personnel that have the right experience.
Unlike the large mega-firms, we do not staff our cases depending on who is available, nor do we shuffle cases among less experienced lawyers, moving cases from lawyer to lawyer as associates come and go or transfer to other cases. At Robinson & McElwee an experienced attorney is designated as lead counsel and will see your case through to its completion. Other attorneys and personnel are assigned as needed to staff the case consistent with your wishes and the requirements of the litigation, keeping in mind always that you deserve value for the trust you have placed in us.
Our West Virginia general litigation department includes a superb support staff composed of experienced paralegals, paralegal assistants, secretaries, and information services personnel. Our conference room suite is designed for mediation, and we are equipped with the latest law firm technology to best serve our clients.
