About this firm

Bailey & Wyant, PLLC was formed in 2000. Since its inception, the firm has grown from only a handful of attorneys to its current mark of over thirty. We have offices in Charleston, Wheeling and Martinsburg, West Virginia, and provide representation to clients throughout West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

Our philosophy is simple. We provide aggressive and effective legal representation, while being ever mindful of each client's individual needs, goals, and economic interests. No matter how complex or novel, our focus in a case is always to reach the right resolution for our client.

Bailey & Wyant's litigation department focuses its efforts in representing individuals, businesses and government in a variety of claims, including general civil litigation and insurance defense, governmental liability, labor and employment law, product liability and personal injury, medical and other professional liability, construction and design defect, administrative and regulatory law, environmental law and natural resources, insurance coverage and extra-contractual matters, and corporate litigation.

In addition to providing litigation-related services, Bailey & Wyant also serves as general counsel to several state and county agencies and commissions. Our experience and dedication in representing governmental agencies and officials is a source of pride for all of our attorneys.

The lawyers at Bailey & Wyant frequently conduct instructional seminars and conferences to lawyers and non-lawyers on a variety of issues, including employment-related matters, insurance claims handling and extra-contractual issues, and public contracts and procurement.
