James Ratchford Law, PLLC

James Ratchford, this is James. I help people in need get Social Security Disability benefits. I am a Social Security lawyer in Charleston, WV. I got my start as an attorney at a very large national disability law firm in New York City. The focus of my practice has been representing Social Security claimants since 2008. In the years since, I have represented thousands of Social Security claimants before the administrative judges of the Social Security Administration. I have also worked on thousands of written appeals. I started this practice because I wanted to represent claimants and build the firm that I envisioned. Our team consists of two paralegals, Melanie Flintjer, and Monica Alfano. I help claimants throughout the appeal process, including the initial application and appeals to the federal appeals courts. I am an attorney with substantial experience in all aspects of Social Security Disability claims (SSD and SSI), with a special focus on hearing-level representation and claim development. I am also a consultant offering a wide range of consulting services tailored to your firm's needs.
