Expert Denver Security Clearance Attorney for Government & Defense Personnel

Denver is home to major defense contractors, aerospace companies, cybersecurity firms, and multiple federal agencies. Because of this concentration of national security work, thousands of employees and contractors in the Denver metro area require Department of Defense security clearance, DOE clearance, or agency-specific adjudication. If you’re applying for a national security clearance—or facing clearance problems—you need an experienced Denver security clearance lawyer guiding the process from the very beginning.

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.

Denver Security Clearance FAQs

Ideally, you won’t wait until your security clearance is revoked to contact a Denver national security clearance lawyer. If you’ve received a Notice of Intent to revoke or deny clearance, you have an opportunity to head that off with a strong response to the Statement of Reasons, and you should contact an attorney right away.

If your clearance has been denied or revoked, you may still be able to appeal. However, time will be limited, so you should act quickly to find the help you need.

Any information that creates a concern about whether you present a security risk can be the basis for security clearance denial or revocation. There is a set of 13 broad categories that investigators and adjudicators look at for red flags, including:

  • Allegiance to the United States
  • Foreign influence
  • Foreign preference
  • Sexual behavior
  • Personal conduct
  • Financial considerations
  • Alcohol consumption
  • Drug involvement
  • Emotional, mental, and personality disorders
  • Criminal conduct
  • Security violations
  • Outside activities
  • Misuse of information technology systems

At The Edmunds Law Firm, we have helped many people regain their security clearance. Of course, every case is different. When you consult with one of our security clearance revocation attorneys, we will give you an honest assessment of your case, what we may be able to do for you, and exactly how much it will cost before you make any decisions about how to proceed.

Your military discharge status can have a significant impact on your eligibility for national security clearance. That said, there isn’t a specific discharge status that automatically disqualifies you. Instead, your discharge status may be a red flag that triggers closer scrutiny.

Often, our national security lawyers are able to mitigate those concerns to secure security clearance in spite of a negative discharge status. You may also consider consulting a military discharge upgrade lawyer to address your discharge status in advance of applying for security clearance.

Absolutely not. The Edmunds Law Firm works with clients across the country. We have offices in several cities, including Denver, but we also routinely work with clients remotely.

Attorney Alan Edmunds has been helping clients secure national security clearances, including Department of Defense security clearance, since 1976. Our law firm is focused entirely on national security clearances and related matters such as military discharge status upgrades. We have an in-depth understanding of the process for obtaining DOD security clearance, responding to a Statement of Reasons or appealing a revocation or denial.
