Preparing an Application
When a person wishes to work in a certain field or at a specific position in a company, they may be required to first obtain security clearance. The applicant typically must fill out Standard Form 86 (National Security Questionnaire), which is turned over to the federal government to be approved or denied. The proper preparation of this application is of the utmost importance. Our firm assists clients in preparing and filing their applications to give them the best chance of obtaining clearance.

Security Clearance Hearings
A security clearance hearing may be held in front of a Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) Administrative Judge if clearance has been denied and the applicant would like to seek a reversal of this decision. Having an attorney to prepare your case and to represent you at this hearing can make a significant difference in your ability to obtain a positive result.

Security Clearance Appeals
if you've been denied security clearance or your clearance has been revoked, you are not out of options. You may file an appeal to get a second chance at obtaining approval or of having clearance reinstated. The government may default to security clearance denial when it is unclear whether an applicant is fit for clearance. By providing additional evidence or information, it may be possible to overturn this denial. This may be done by requesting an appeal with the Appeals Board. As these are complex legal proceedings, they are best approached with experienced legal counsel. Read more about security clearance appeals...
