Security Clearance

Civilian Lawyer for Military Security Clearances

If obtaining a security clearance is important enough to your future that you are willing to fight for it, investing in the able assistance of an experienced attorney like Patrick J. McLain may be the best choice you can make.

Patrick J. McLain will guide you in the security clearance application process.

Military personnel applying for a security clearance of confidential, secret or top secret must fill out the Standard Form 86 (SF86) Questionnaire for National Security Positions. An experienced civilian military lawyer can advise you of your rights and obligations in the application process and answer those questions you'd rather not ask your commander or an active duty military attorney.

Our firm will help you fight a denial, revocation, suspension or reclassification of your security clearance.

If your security clearance was denied, revoked or reclassified, you may be facing long-term consequences to your military career and to your life outside the armed forces.

A denied security clearance can essentially halt your advancement in the military. A suspension or revocation can not only render you useless in your military career, it can also close many doors to high-paying civilian jobs after your term of service is over.

Patrick J. McLain will represent your case before the relevant Central Adjudication Facility (AFCAF, DONCAF, etc.) that has the decisional authority regarding your security clearance matter.

Security clearances are denied for many reasons. Some of these may make sense, such as a denied clearance if you have a serious criminal record. Other reasons clearances are denied — high-credit card debt, marriage to a foreign national, etc. — can seem arbitrary and irrational.
