Welcome to the law firm of Berry and Berry, PLLC in the Metropolitan, Washington D.C. area. We specialize in the nationwide legal representation of individuals in security clearance matters. We have represented thousands of clients across the country in their security clearance matters for over 25 years. Our goal is to work hard for our clients in attempting to help them keep or obtain their security clearances. Our firm represents security clearance holders or applicants in different areas of the country, or even internationally, to defend them. We represent security clearance applicants at all levels, including Secret, Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI), Special Access Programs (SAP), Yankee White and others. We also defend these individuals in suitability or public trust appeals which are slightly different but involve many of the same principles.
Security Clearance Assistance Available
We provide legal advice and representation to federal employees, military personnel and government contractors regarding their security clearances. We represent clearance applicants and holders at all steps of the security clearance process, from legal advice prior to completing their initial clearance questionnaires (SF-86) to the final steps of the security clearance appeals process. Our lawyers represent clearance holders and applicants before all federal agencies. We also specialize in representing security clearance clients before Intelligence Community agencies. Our goal is to represent individuals vigorously before security clearance authorities. At the same time, we understand that many security clearance cases involve sensitive issues. Discussions with attorneys in the firm are privileged and confidential.
Additionally, we realize that security clearance issues can happen to anyone and treat our clients with respect no matter what the issues involve. Given the changes in technology, it is easier than ever, to represent individuals nationwide. In the past, we might have had to fly to a location across the country to represent an individual in a security clearance hearing, the Government has incorporated Microsoft Teams and Zoom for many security clearance proceedings. This has made it easier than ever to represent clients no matter where they live and work.
