Defend your career.

Anyone who needs access to classified information to do their job requires a security clearance. If you are a federal employee, member of the military, or government contractor, your career likely depends on obtaining and maintaining a security clearance. Unfortunately, security clearance denials are common. Applying for a security clearance requires an individual to undergo a comprehensive background investigation into all aspects of his or her personal and professional history. While there are many different reasons a security clearance could be denied, the most common include concerns related to “divided loyalties,” drug use, omitting certain information from your application, criminal convictions, or indebtedness.  

If you were denied a security clearance, your career could be in jeopardy. Fortunately, you will have an opportunity to appeal that decision. If you have been denied a security clearance, or if your security clearance has been suspended or revoked, you need an experienced advocate to defend your rights.
