Appeals of Revoked or Denied Federal Security Clearance

The responsibility that accompanies security clearance is serious. Essentially, the federal government is granting you limited access to private or secret information. If you have been considered for or have obtained such access but have had your clearance suspended, revoked or denied, your job security is probably your greatest fear, and rightly so. Will you lose your job if you lose your clearance?

When a security clearance is denied to a contractor for the Department of Defense, it can be catastrophic to your career. DOD regulations and attitudes could turn what should be a simple delay into a long-term ban on you or your company.

At P&K, our lawyers represent clients in government security personal appearances and review hearings, providing compelling advocacy and strong support for security clearance denials or revocations.
