Employees working for federal government agencies often need to seek government security clearances. They have rights and protections through these processes and sometimes need an attorney to represent their interests. There are times when employees in such jobs may face proposed disciplinary actions as well and the individual needs representation.

Our attorneys routinely represent government employees in security clearance issues as well as in grievance matters, including disciplinary actions, reprimands and suspensions, curtailment, misconduct investigations, security clearance issues, diplomatic security inquiries, inspector general investigations and inspections, separation for poor performance and discrimination complaints.

During the security process, if the Defense Security Service finds a cause for concern, it may issue a Letter of Intent to deny clearance with a Statement of Reasons for the proposed denial. At that point, the applicant will have an opportunity to provide information in response to the Statement of Reasons as well as request a hearing. At the hearing, there is an opportunity to present evidence in person and if unsuccessful, the decision can be appealed. It is truly beneficial to have a knowledgeable attorney fighting on your behalf to obtain those clearances and make sure no technicality stands in your way.

As far as dealing with potential disciplinary actions, an experienced attorney can stand up for your rights and make sure you receive due process during the proceedings. We know often your life and career may be on the line so you want the best, most sound counsel representing you through the process should you face possible disciplinary actions.
