Security Clearance Lawyers

TOP LAW FIRM FOR SECURITY CLEARANCE REPRESENTATION

Applying for a security clearance should be taken seriously and conducted with care and strategy. Honesty throughout the application and renewal process is key. Oftentimes, failing to hold a security clearance will lead to the loss of one’s job.  The security clearance attorneys regularly assist federal employees and contractors, as well as military personnel, in all stages of the security clearance process. 

Federal employees, military members and government contractors are often required to obtain and hold a security clearance in order to maintain their sensitive position with the government or a secured contractor. In the last decade, the federal government has greatly increased the number and type of positions that require security clearances, making it difficult for many to be employed or stay employed in their federal positions.

The application process as well as the clearance renewal process includes an extensive and thorough background investigation into your personal life and financial history. Anything from traffic offenses to credit card debt can be called into question. A security clearance can be taken away at any time due to a number of factors that call into question your ability to work in a sensitive position. This can include accruing debt beyond your means, defaulting on your mortgage payments or providing a false answer on your SF-86.
