JOHN J. KOMAR, PHD, LLC

John J. Komar, PhD, LLC specializes in providing expert vocational rehabilitation testimony to support administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges for the Social Security Administration. The contractor delivers highly specialized vocational expert witness services, analyzing claimants’ functional capacities, labor market conditions, and occupational suitability in cases involving disability benefit appeals. Their technical expertise lies in applying vocational assessment methodologies, interpreting Social Security Rulings, and translating complex medical and employment data into legally defensible testimony that informs adjudicative decisions. This niche specialization ensures precision in evaluating residual functional capacity against national occupational standards, distinguishing the firm as a trusted authority in SSA disability adjudication processes. The contractor’s primary and only known federal engagement is with the Social Security Administration, where they serve as a contracted vocational expert witness in appeals of denied Title II and Title XVI benefits. This relationship reflects a focused, mission-critical role in supporting SSA’s hearing office operations, ensuring due process through objective, evidence-based vocational analysis. The nature of this work suggests an established, repeat engagement model built on credibility, consistency, and deep familiarity with SSA’s adjudicative framework. The firm operates under NAICS 624310, which encompasses vocational rehabilitation services, specifically the provision of expert analysis and testimony to determine employability in the context of disability claims. This places them squarely within the federal disability adjudication ecosystem, serving as a critical link between medical documentation and labor market realities. Their market positioning is that of a subject-matter expert in vocational evaluation for government hearings, not general rehabilitation service delivery. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business structured as a 2L entity, the firm brings a unique perspective grounded in veteran experience and federal compliance rigor. Based in Mesa, Arizona, it operates as a small, specialized provider with a targeted presence in the federal disability services sector, leveraging its certification to support mission-critical government functions with integrity and expertise.
