Brett O'Brien Law

Our attorneys specialize in security clearance appeals. They have dedicated their careers to learning the entire security clearance process from start to finish. They started by working for the federal government before entering private practice.

Their extensive experience working for the federal government includes over eight years advising clients on revoking and suspending an employee's security clearance, reporting derogatory information, representing clients in their response to a Statement of Reasons (SOR), and serving in a joint duty assignment for the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA).

As a military service member or veteran, you and your family have sacrificed a great deal. As a way of saying "thank you, " there are a multitude of benefits, programs, and discounts that you and your loved ones are entitled to. There are so many benefits available that, chances are, you might be overlooking some major opportunities to invest, plan, and save.

Approximately 1% of applicants are denied a security clearance. This statistic is misleading because the vast majority of applicants with disqualifying and/or derogatory information will chose to not respond to the Statement of Reasons (SOR) that is issued by the Central Adjudicative Facility. The SOR will initially recommend a denial, but provide an opportunity to refute the recommendation.

According to the TSA, approximately 3-5% of the roughly 30,000 applicants that apply for Global Entry status every month will be denied. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") in most cases will issue a written reason for the denial, but this is not always the case. In some cases, the applicant will have to pursue various avenues in an attempt to find out the reason for the denial.
