We take on Social Security Disability and SSI so you can take care of yourself.
Clear guidance for SSDI and SSI claims, hearings, and appeals.
Social Security cases are not decided by diagnosis alone. They are decided by what the medical records show about how health problems affect reliable work and daily life. Our office helps clients build clear, organized support for their case while we handle records, deadlines, and next steps.
Since 2007, we have represented clients across West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia with personal attention.
NO FEE UNLESS WE WIN.

Why Many Social Security Claims Run Into Problems
Filing paperwork is only one part of the process. Social Security cases are often decided by the quality of the medical record, the consistency of the information in the file, and whether the case is developed carefully over time.
Weak medical records
Records may be incomplete, outdated, or too vague to show how symptoms affect work and daily activity.
No clear case development
Many people do not realize how Social Security evaluates a claim or what needs to be documented over time.
Deadlines and forms
Missing a deadline or misunderstanding a form can delay a case or create avoidable problems.
Inconsistent information
Treatment notes, forms, work history, and statements all need to fit together clearly.
Treatment gaps
Long gaps in care can make it harder for the record to show what someone is dealing with over time.
Giving up too soon
Many stop after a first denial, even though appeals are where most strong cases are won.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will this cost me?
It is a contingency fee. You pay only if you are granted benefits. The fee is set by federal law at 25% of your past-due benefits.
Are there other charges?
If you are granted benefits, you reimburse reasonable case costs spent to build your claim. We work to keep those costs as low as possible.
How long does this process take?
Timelines vary widely depending on the stage of the case and how long each level of review takes. Our office works to keep the case moving and avoid unnecessary delay.
Do I need to gather my own medical records?
No. You provide the names of your providers, and our office requests the records directly.
Will I speak with the attorney or meet in person?
Yes. Shawn personally reviews new cases and is available for appointments when needed. Many appointments can be handled by phone or secure video, so an office visit is often not necessary.
Will you help me prepare for my hearing and be there with me?
Yes. We prepare clients for what to expect and for the questions that are likely to come up.
What makes a case stronger?
A strong case depends on clear medical records, consistent treatment when possible, accurate forms, and careful case development over time.
