Business Litigation
In the business of solving problems
In business, time is money. Mr. Simmerman pursues timely and cost-effective legal solutions to complex business problems. Best of all, he attends to the details of your case personally. So, you know when you hire the Simmerman Law Office that your attorney is experienced enough to know when and how to pursue a claim in court.
Focused on the bottom line result
During his 30-plus years in litigation practice, Mr. Simmerman has come across many complex contract and business disputes. He has served as primary counsel and liaison counsel for several firms across the country—in places as far-reaching as Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. He offers comprehensive legal advice on a broad range of business issues:
Commercial litigation
Employment law |
Service as local counsel
Construction litigation |
Employment law - wrongful discharge
Barring an employment contract, employers can fire an employee with or without cause. They are not required to justify their decision; however, West Virginia has recognized an exception to this policy for terminations which are violative of public policy, including the traditional suspect class (age, sex, race, and handicap) types of discrimination. In many cases, employees are presented with severance packages that provide them with a small payment in exchange for waiving the right to sue. If you feel that you were wrongfully fired from your former position, contact us to learn more about your legal options.
