Shaffer & Shaffer

Shaffer & Shaffer is located at 2116 Kanawha Blvd E in Charleston, WV, along one of the city's main corridors near the Kanawha River. The firm works across Social Security disability, personal injury, and employment law, which gives them a broader perspective on how health, workplace, and legal issues intersect in clients' lives. For West Virginia residents pursuing disability benefits, the combination of Social Security law and employment law under one roof is particularly relevant. Clients who have been let go from a job due to a medical condition, or who face discrimination related to a disability, may have both a Social Security claim and an employment law claim running at the same time. Shaffer & Shaffer's experience across these areas means they can look at a client's full situation rather than just one piece of it.

Shaffer & Shaffer helps Social Security disability claimants build the strongest possible record for their case, starting with the initial application and continuing through any appeals and hearings that become necessary. On the employment side, they represent workers dealing with discrimination, wrongful termination, and other workplace violations, including situations where a disability played a role in an employer's actions. Their personal injury practice covers clients hurt in accidents who need legal help recovering compensation for their losses. Across all three areas, the firm works to make sure clients understand their rights and the steps being taken on their behalf.

When a potential client reaches out to Shaffer & Shaffer, the first step is reviewing the details of the situation to determine which legal claims may be available and how they relate to one another. For disability cases, this involves looking at medical records, work history, and the current status of any SSA filings. For employment matters, the firm examines what happened on the job, any documentation of employer communications, and whether protected rights under state or federal law were violated. Clients can expect clear communication about how each part of their case will be handled and realistic timelines based on the specific process involved, whether that is an SSA hearing schedule or a court filing deadline.

Shaffer & Shaffer serves clients throughout Charleston and the broader West Virginia region, with their office on Kanawha Boulevard East easily accessible to residents across Kanawha County and nearby areas.
