BREEN, JAMES M

Breen, James M specializes in providing vocational rehabilitation expert witnesses to support the Social Security Administration’s administrative hearing process. The contractor delivers specialized testimony in cases where claimants appeal denials of disability benefits, offering authoritative analysis on vocational capacity, labor market conditions, and functional limitations as they relate to SSA’s disability determination standards. Their technical expertise lies in interpreting vocational assessment methodologies, applying the Dictionary of Occupational Titles and Selected Characteristics of Occupations, and aligning expert opinions with SSA’s Medical-Vocational Guidelines. This niche capability ensures that administrative law judges receive credible, evidence-based testimony critical to fair adjudication of complex disability claims. The contractor’s primary and only known federal engagement is with the Social Security Administration, where they serve as a subject matter expert in vocational rehabilitation proceedings. Their role is deeply integrated into SSA’s appeals infrastructure, supporting due process by supplying qualified professionals who can translate clinical and occupational data into legally defensible conclusions. This relationship suggests a trusted, recurring role within SSA’s hearing system, likely cultivated through consistent performance and adherence to procedural and evidentiary standards. The contractor operates exclusively within NAICS 624310, which encompasses vocational rehabilitation services—specifically the provision of expert analysis to assist individuals with disabilities in returning to or entering the workforce. In practice, this translates to high-stakes legal and administrative consulting, where vocational expertise directly influences federal benefit determinations. Their market positioning is highly specialized, serving a critical but narrow segment of the federal disability adjudication ecosystem. Breen, James M is structured as a sole proprietorship (2J) based in Franklin Park, Illinois. The entity holds no formal government certifications, and its operational footprint is focused solely on federal vocational testimony services. Despite its small size, the contractor occupies a distinct and essential role within SSA’s hearing framework, offering precision-driven expertise that is difficult to replicate without deep familiarity with federal disability policy and vocational assessment protocols.
