Dan Meyer and Tully Rinckey secured me a win at First Level review on a security clearance adjudication at an agency within the Intelligence Community Element. This agency’s security concern was surrounding Guideline B, Foreign Contacts. Of the two attorneys at Tully Rinckey I planned to speak ...with, I first made an appointment with Dan Meyer. During our initial meeting, Mr. Meyer straight away went to the heart of the security concern raised by the agency who had conducted a background investigation and sent me a denial decision. During our discussion, Mr. Meyer explained how the appeal process works – time and cost - in great detail. As a person who knew nothing about these processes previously, I did not know how emotionally taxing this process could be. However, Mr. Meyer, from day one, assured me that I was in good hands and his firm would help me navigate this process every step of the way, and they did! My early impression of Mr. Meyer was that he did not waste the time of potential new clients or give them any false hopes. He was factual, and as a person who appreciates practicality and facts, I knew Mr. Meyer would be the one who should represent me and I did not look any further. Another important aspect of this appeal process is cost. Tully Rinckey and Dan Meyer demonstrated great care when I formally signed with their firm and retained Mr. Meyer for this appeal. His firm offered me several payment options to choose from and it allowed me to see this process through to the end. My monthly statements included line items to provide clear breakdowns of what was accomplished and the charges. Furthermore, Mr. Meyer and Tully Rinckey, demonstrated professionalism, friendliness and were very pleasant for what turned out to be quite a long process. Dan Meyer is the national security partner in the Washington, D.C. Office, a former security manager, intelligence officer, and federal investigator. I firmly believe that those life experiences combined with his nearly three decades with the Bar of the District of Columbia made him ideally-suited to my case. He also has a deep understanding of America’s position in the world, and international affairs in the Eastern hemisphere. Dan knows the United States needs cosmopolitan workers, and is committed to global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). I am truly grateful to Tully Rinckey and especially Dan for their services during what was, unmistakably, the most stressful time in my life. Thank you, Tully Rinckey ! Thank you, Dan !

My employer served me with a Statement of Reasons under Guidelines E & H, which could have jeopardized my career. I contacted Tully Rinckey for a consultation and decided to retain their services. They assigned Dan Meyer, the national security partner in Washington, D.C., to my case. Dan methodically... addressed the Government’s findings and helped me compile a comprehensive rebuttal. Dan was very helpful and communicative throughout the process, his knowledge and expertise helped me in a troubling period. We then proceeded with the personal appearance, resulting in a favorable decision. I am now back at work doing the job I love. Great job, TR! Thanks, Dan!

I came to Tully Rinckey with a Guideline E, H, & J issue which was blocking me from career goals. I did a consult with the Firm, retained them, and they assigned my matter to Washington DC national security partner, Dan Meyer. Dan was there for me over the next two years, as we both worked through t...he issues and the confusion we were seeing from recruiters and security professionals. I am off and running on my new job opportunity. TR had the strategy right. I am really excited about this next phase of my Federal career. Great job Dan ! Thanks, TR !

I hired Tully Rinckey to represent me at a second level review personal appearance regarding my security clearance, Guideline H. It was a tough statement of reasons, notably because the marijuana use was after I was granted a clearance. The firm brought their marijuana subject matter expert into the... case. Dan Meyer, a national security partner in the Washington D.C. Office, took the case file and we worked up the evidence together; Dan’s legal brief focused on the ambiguity of drug use in America, today, and how difficult it can be for young adults to understand the real consequences of even victimless behavior. The argument worked; just won my case. Thanks Dan ! Thanks TR!

“Thanks, Dan ! I can’t say it enough! I had to file a self-report with Security; very difficult set of facts under Guidelines E, I & J. If I had to tell my story myself, I may have blown it – so I went to Tully Rinckey. A quick consult led to a retainer between me and the Firm. I was assigned to Da...n Meyer, who has plenty of experience in these matters. Dan was unphased by my facts, “ . . . trust me, lots of people get clearances with facts worse than these, Client o’Mine,” he said, and off we went to work. Self report was filed; have my clearance, and I am hard at work in a great job! Great job TR !”
