If you’re searching for legal representation for Charleston asbestos claims, you’ve likely encountered a long list of firms with impressive websites but limited focus. Many of the firms that appear in Charleston-based search results advertise services across a wide range of personal injury topics — from car crashes to dog bites to surgical stapler lawsuits. That’s not focus. And when it comes to asbestos claims, especially those involving Charleston-area chemical plants, union trades, or secondhand exposure, focus matters.
I’ve been helping West Virginia families since 1988, long before most of these law firms even existed.
Why Local Experience Still Matters for Charleston Asbestos Claims
Charleston, WV has been home to some of the state’s most dangerous asbestos jobsites — including the Allied Chemical Plant (on the NPL since 1983), DuPont Belle, FMC South Charleston, and Union Carbide Institute. These were not isolated exposures. Tradespeople, contractors, insulators, maintenance crews, and chemical workers faced daily hazards, often unknowingly. Some exposures continued well after federal regulations were enacted.
Even more troubling, the reach of these exposures didn’t end at the plant gates. Family members often brought the danger home. Spouses who laundered work clothes and children who hugged their fathers after a shift are now facing mesothelioma diagnoses decades later.
You Don’t Need to Hire a Charleston Law Firm
Just because a firm has a Charleston mailing address doesn’t mean they know asbestos law — or know how to investigate, document, and maximize the value of a claim. In fact, many of the Charleston-based firms you’ll see online refer these cases out to larger regional firms or national groups. That’s fine for them, but what about you?
When you work with me, Lee W. Davis, you get:
- Over 35 years of asbestos case experience
- A deep understanding of Charleston-area job sites and contractor history
- Strategic co-counsel support from one of WV’s top mesothelioma law firms
- Clear, direct communication from the lawyer who actually handles your claim
