Security Clearance Can Define Your Career in Denver’s Federal & Defense Sectors

Securing a national security clearance can open new doors. Having clearance denied or revoked can mean loss of job opportunities, revocation of an offer of employment, and even demotion or termination. In Denver’s competitive aerospace and defense job market, clearance issues can immediately jeopardize your employment. Early legal guidance can often prevent denials, suspensions, or revocations before they escalate.

When your future is on the line, you need an attorney who thoroughly understands how the security clearance system works. Call us today at 800-481-2526.

Why You Need a Security Clearance Attorney in Denver

When you apply for security clearance, the first thing you’ll be asked to do is complete an application form, known as SF86. The form is more than 100 pages long and requires information dating back several years. Simple mistakes on the form or leaving something out can cause big problems–in some cases, even result in denial.

Once you’ve completed the SF86, you’ll be asked to sit for an interview and perhaps take a polygraph examination. Investigators will check your credit history and financial transactions, review any criminal history, and even interview people in your life, both past and present. The best way to avert problems is to be thoroughly prepared at every step and to anticipate and manage any red flags that may arise.

An experienced security clearance attorney knows what types of inconsistencies, omissions, or lifestyle factors raise concerns under the adjudicative guidelines—and how to present mitigating evidence that protects your eligibility.

If Your Security Clearance Is Denied or Revoked in Denver

Our national security law firm helps people at every stage of the process, from security clearance applications through the appeal process. The earlier we get involved, the better. But, if you’ve already received a Statement of Reasons or if your security clearance was revoked, suspended, or denied, we can step in immediately to prepare responses, build mitigating evidence, and guide you through the DOHA or agency-specific appeals process.

Time is limited. When you receive a Notice of Intent to deny or revoke security clearance, you have very little time to respond. And drafting a thorough response takes time. If you know your security clearance is at risk, contact us today.
