Security Clearance Adjudication Lawyers
Security Clearance Attorneys
If you are considering trying to obtain
security clearance, or have already begun the process of obtaining security clearance, a
skilled and knowledgeable attorney from Claery & Hammond, LLP can

by the United States government that a person or company is eligible for
access to classified information. There are two types of clearances: Personnel
Security Clearances (PCL) and Facility Security Clearance (FCL). No matter
which type of security clearance you are seeking, a lawyer from our firm
can help you through the every step of the process.
Your National
Security Clearance Attorney will help you being the process by helping you file the appropriate security
clearance application. Once this has been submitted, the Federal Agency
Security Adjudication Officer will determine whether or not security clearance
or access to national security information will be granted or denied.
Many different factors will be considered when determining whether or not a person will be granted security clearance, including:
- Employment History
- Foreign Connections/Travel
- Military Service
- Subversive Activities
- Loyalty
- Trustworthiness
- Financial Responsibility
- Involvement in Civil or Criminal Litigation
- Emotional Stability
- Judgment
- Ties to others
Security Clearance Application Attorneys
The Supreme Court has ruled that, “security-clearance determinations
should err, when they must, on the side of denials.” This means
that when a government decision maker is unsure whether or not a candidate
is fit for access to restricted information, they will favor security
clearance denial. In many cases, a
security clearance denial is made because the applicant is not considered trustworthy or reliable
enough to handle the information they may receive.
An experienced and skilled attorney from our firm will provide you with
invaluable advice and guidance during security clearance adjudication
no matter what level of security clearance you may be seeking. Individuals
