How They Can Help

Zerbe & Pence helps clients in Charleston and surrounding West Virginia communities pursue Social Security disability benefits, whether they are applying for the first time or fighting a denial.

What to Expect

When you contact Zerbe & Pence, the firm will review your situation to understand where you are in the Social Security process.
