Overview

About Brian Patrick Hogan

Staff Attorney at Rubicon Legal Services (formerly known as The Hawkins Center of Rubicon Programs), a non-profit social services agency. My focus is on integrating poverty law services with workforce development, housing, mental health, and case management services. My current areas of interest are in reentry policy and the legal barriers to employment faced by those living under conditions of abject poverty.

My practice areas are Social Security Disability (SSDI/SSI) Law, Public Benefits, Poverty Law, Workforce Development & Legal Partnerships, Consumer Law, and Reentry Legal Services (particularly the Collateral Consequences of a Criminal Record in regard to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, EEOC Policy, and HUD/Fair Housing regulations).

My academic interests lie along the intersections of Critical Theory and the Anthropology of Law: the criminalization of poverty and mental illness, the body as governed by policies of mass incarceration, and reentry policy.

My Social Security Disability (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability practice focuses on mental health, pain, and "hidden" disability cases, particularly cases involving the diseases, disorders, and medical classifications that disproportionately impact socially and economically marginalized individuals: whether formerly incarcerated, homeless, substance abusers and addicts, and those living under conditions of class, racial, sexual, and gendered systems of hierarchy.
