NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. ("FWVB" or the "Company") (OTC: FWVB) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by CB Financial Services, Inc. ("CBFV") (NASDAQ: CBFV).  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company's shareholders can elect to receive $28.50 in cash or 0.9583 of a share of CBFV for each FWVB.
