O'Hara & Hunter Consulting

What O'Hara & Hunter Consulting does

O'Hara & Hunter Consulting, Inc. is a privately held, licensed Qualified Rehabilitation Consultant (QRC) firm founded in 1990 and headquartered at 9298 Central Ave NE, Suite 202, Blaine, Minnesota. The firm delivers statutory vocational rehabilitation services to injured workers within the Minnesota Workers' Compensation system across three core service lines: QRC services (medical management, vocational counseling, on-site job analysis, retraining plan development, and expert testimony), placement services (resume development, mock interviews, vocational testing, and job development), and LTD / vocational evaluation (individual vocational evaluations and expert testimony for workers' compensation, STD/LTD, personal injury, earning capacity, lost earnings, and divorce matters). Services are delivered in person and via phone across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the state of Minnesota, with English-Spanish bilingual capacity.

The firm operates as a pure service business with no proprietary technology platform, API, or software product; the operating model depends on approximately 18 staff, including 14+ licensed QRCs, employment counselors, job developers, and administrative support. Team members hold advanced state and national credentials including Licensed Qualified Rehabilitation Consultant (QRC), Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), Certified Disability Management Specialist (CDMS), Certified Vocational Evaluation Specialist (CVE), and Certified Professional Disability Manager (CPDM). Co-founders Alissa S. O'Hara (owner since 2001) and Angie R. Hunter (partner since 2010) lead the firm; Greta M. Bormann serves as Managing Director since 2019. Alissa O'Hara's prior service on the Minnesota Rehabilitation Review Panel (2006-2021) is a notable regulatory affiliation.

The revenue model is professional services billing to workers' compensation insurance carriers; injured workers are not charged and the firm handles insurance billing on their behalf. Customer acquisition runs almost entirely through referral: defense and plaintiff attorneys, labor unions, the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, physicians, and direct community outreach. The firm is entirely founder-owned with no institutional investors, no parent company, and no disclosed external funding. Geographic scope is limited to Minnesota, and there is no international footprint, mobile product, or technology platform layer.
