About Shawn Taylor

Shawn Taylor's law office is located at 209 Capitol St in Charleston, West Virginia, just steps from the state capitol complex and positioned to serve clients from across Kanawha County and the wider Charleston metro area. The practice is dedicated entirely to Social Security law, meaning the focus here is narrower and deeper than a general practice firm, which can be a significant advantage for someone dealing with a denied disability claim or a long-pending application. The office holds a 3.7-star rating on Yelp based on 3 reviews, reflecting a small but present track record of client feedback. For West Virginians who have already been denied disability benefits or are just beginning the process, having an attorney whose entire practice centers on Social Security law can make a real difference in how a claim is built and argued before the Social Security Administration.

How They Can Help

Shawn Taylor's office assists clients at every stage of the Social Security disability process, starting with initial applications for SSDI and SSI and continuing through the appeals process if a claim is denied. Because the majority of first-time applications are denied, having legal representation at the reconsideration and administrative law judge hearing stages is often critical to a successful outcome. This firm's exclusive focus on Social Security law means the attorney is familiar with the specific medical and vocational standards the SSA uses to evaluate disability claims in West Virginia.

Clients are guided through what can be a lengthy and confusing federal process, with the attorney handling communication with the Social Security Administration on their behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that Shawn Taylor focuses only on Social Security law?
A focused Social Security practice means the attorney concentrates specifically on SSDI and SSI claims rather than handling a wide variety of unrelated legal matters. This can be beneficial because the Social Security disability system has its own rules, medical standards, and procedures that differ significantly from other areas of law.
I was denied Social Security disability benefits. Can this office help me appeal?
Yes, appealing a denial is one of the primary services offered at this office. The appeals process includes reconsideration, a hearing before an administrative law judge, and potentially further review. Having an attorney represent you at the hearing stage in particular can improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
What is the difference between SSDI and SSI?
SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance, is based on your work history and the Social Security taxes you have paid over your career. SSI, or Supplemental Security Income, is a needs-based program for individuals with limited income and resources regardless of work history. You may qualify for one or both depending on your situation.
How long does the Social Security disability process typically take in West Virginia?
The timeline varies, but initial decisions can take three to six months, and if you are denied and must appeal to an administrative law judge, the wait for a hearing can extend to a year or more. An attorney familiar with the Charleston hearing office and West Virginia SSA offices can help manage expectations and keep your case moving forward.
What does the 3.7-star Yelp rating reflect for this office?
The firm has received 3 reviews on Yelp with an average rating of 3.7 stars. While the review count is small, it indicates real client experience with the office. We encourage prospective clients to read those reviews and ask questions during their initial consultation.
Where is the Capitol Street office located in Charleston?
The office is located at 209 Capitol St in Charleston, West Virginia, in the heart of the city near the state capitol building. This central location makes it accessible for clients coming from throughout Kanawha County and surrounding areas.
