Cheryl Fisher

Cheryl Fisher is an attorney at Tiano O’Dell, PLLC in Charleston, WV. Fisher represents people in medical malpractice and insurance-related claims after spending fourteen years defending insurers, health care professionals, and coal operators. The practice includes medical malpractice, insurance coverage and bad-faith claims, wrongful death, nursing home matters, products liability, and other injury litigation. The work often involves investigating how an injury occurred, evaluating responsibility, documenting losses, and preparing claims for negotiation or trial.

Fisher earned a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from Miami University of Ohio and graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1993. Fisher has been admitted to practice in West Virginia state and federal courts since 1993. That training supports the legal analysis, factual development, and advocacy required in personal injury and professional negligence matters.

Fisher’s experience includes fourteen years of defense work followed by a plaintiff-side practice focused since 2008 on medical malpractice victims and people mistreated by their insurers. Fisher has obtained favorable verdicts and settlements in courts throughout West Virginia and has presented on insurance coverage law. These matters can require detailed review of medical evidence, accident facts, expert issues, insurance positions, and the damages claimed by an injured person or family.

Cheryl Fisher also has provided pro bono representation through West Virginia programs serving people who could not afford counsel. Her background on both sides of insurance and health care litigation gives her direct experience with how claims are evaluated, defended, and prepared for trial. The practice remains focused on representing injured people and families through claims that can involve substantial medical, financial, and personal consequences.
