703-528-8668 Security Clearance Evaluations
If you have been denied, revoked, or had your security clearance suspended you will need to have an evaluation conducted by a credentialed and licensed specialist.
Many of these adverse actions resulting in a Statement of Reasons (SOR) regarding Federal Security Clearances arise due to the use of illegal substances (marijuana, cocaine, hallucinogens, etc.) or issues related to alcohol (DUI, DWI, etc.).

She has been featured on "Clearance Jobs.com", Social Work Today, the National Association of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Counseling, and as a keynote speaker for the Washington, D.C. bar Spring Wellness Fair.
Your Security Clearance Evaluation begins with the first phone call, email, text or fax. A thorough review of the SOR, and any supporting documentation is conducted, and if necessary, consultation with your attorney will occur.
Your evaluation process is protected by HIPPA, and includes standardized, evidence-based, valid and reliable, professional questionnaires and processes. If retained via counsel, other special privileges such as the attorney client privileges communication doctrine may be accorded you.
