If you’re a federal employee or government contractor, you probably know that lawyers like us are out there to help you with your security clearance needs. What you may not know, however, is when it’s time to contact us for assistance, advice, or legal representation.
The answer to that is simple: as soon as possible. If you think you should get in touch with an attorney for advice on how to handle your security clearance affairs, it’s always best to do so immediately. You have a lot to lose by biding your time and waiting for help that could help you obtain, maintain, or defend your security clearance.
Also, it may be more cost-efficient to get an attorney’s help sooner than later, too. This is because a relatively minor problem can be addressed early on, but may become more costly to deal with if left to fester and become a bigger problem!
