A Stalwart Defender in a Complex Medical Malpractice Case

When our small medical practice in Wheeling was faced with a complex and serious malpractice lawsuit, the stress was overwhelming. We needed an attorney with deep, specific expertise in defending healthcare providers, not just a general litigator. From our first consultation, Melvin O'Brien demonstrated exactly why he has the recognition he does. He meticulously dissected the plaintiff's claims, collaborating with our medical experts to build an unassailable defense strategy. His 13 years of experience, particularly in the niche area of medical malpractice defense, were evident in every step. He was always prepared, incredibly responsive, and translated complex legal and medical jargon into clear, actionable advice for us. The case was demanding, but Mr. O'Brien's calm, professional demeanor and strategic foresight never wavered. The result was a complete dismissal of the claims before trial, protecting both our practice's reputation and finances. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in personal injury defense is clearly well-earned. For any professional or business in West Virginia facing a high-stakes liability claim, I cannot recommend Melvin O'Brien and the team at Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote more highly.
