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.

Rates, Retainers and Additional Information:
If you have been denied your benefits or have questions about Social Security's disability programs, please contact Rubicon Legal Services today for a free consultation. Attorney's fees in a Social Security disability case are paid on a contingency basis. This means that attorney's fees are only owed if you receive a favorable decision and become entitled to benefits. The fees are generally withheld and paid directly to the attorney by the Social Security Administration out of the past-due benefits you are entitled to receive as a result of the favorable decision. The amount of the fee is regulated by Social Security and is 25% (one-fourth) of the past-due Social Security (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits owed to you and your family, or $6,000.00, whichever is less. Most of the other legal services offered at Rubicon Programs are provided free of charge to residents of West Contra Costa County. In fact, these services are supported by the fees generated in our Social Security disability practice. Our Social Security Disability (SSDI) and SSI practice serves the entire San Francisco Bay Area.
