Justyn Ann Baxley

After researching and reviewing multiple attorneys for security clearance law, I decided to consult with Mrs. Baxley and the firm at JAG Defense. I will say this was a great decision. Mrs. Baxley was both professional and knowledgeable in our conversations. All I really had to do was answer her quest...ions and provide what I could. After submitting my statement to DODCAF, it was a couple days later when my SCI clearance was reinstated. Retaining Mrs. Baxley was like bringing a battleship to a gunfight. I would definitely consider retaining her again. I endorse and recommend this lawyer.

I had a wonderful experience with JAG Defense and Mrs. Baxley. She maintained the highest level of professionalism but also made sure there was a comfortable lawyer - client relationship. All communication was within 24 hours or less so I was always well informed. Her work spoke for itself and my cas...e got positively resolved without any problems. I am very grateful for Mrs. Baxley's help and highly recommend her and JAG Defense.

I'm a civilian employee of the department of defense. My security clearance was under a preliminary decision to be revoked by the DOD Consolidated Adjudication Facility (CAF). I was wrongfully terminated from a previous position, and my former employer had said things about me to the investigators ...that were untrue or stripped of context. The preliminary decision to revoke my security clearance came out of nowhere, and I was suddenly in a very stressful situation where I could lose my job. The commanding officer at my current position was livid this was happening to me. He appreciated the work I did and knew someone from my past was just trying to hurt me. He contacted the JAG officer on base, but JAG officers are not able to help civilian employees. The JAG officer recommended I reach out to the law firm JAG Defense. I did so, and has a consultation with Ms. Baxley. From the start, Ms. Baxley was professional and knowledgeable about the DOD CAF and the security clearance adjudication process. At the start, I felt blindsided. Ms. Baxley was able to explain what was happening and why and what I could do about it. She was able to give me a frank assessment of my case and explain what she could do for me if I hired her. I chose to hire her, and she specifically laid out what I needed to do in easy to understand steps. I provided the information she requested. Throughout the process, she was easy to get in contact with and responded to all my questions or ideas about my case promptly. I was an active participant throughout the process, and conducted several proofreads of the response. After we were both satisfied, we submitted the response to the DOD CAF in a timely manner. Ms. Baxley submitted an independent copy of the response, just in case my agency failed to do so, which gave me more piece of mind. Four months later, the CAF ruled favorably and my security clearance was fully reinstated. It was nice to see this situation resolved so successfully. I'd recommend Ms. Baxley to anyone having issues with their security clearance.

Mrs. Baxley reviewed my BCNR related questions and evidence thoroughly. She then agreed I had a justifiable reason to apply, crafted a logical and winning argument. Everything asked for in my request was granted by the BCNR in its response letter to the CNO/PERS including the removal of FC-17/Adve...rse information from my OMPF. I will also note she wasn't entirely sure at first how to argue my case, but she took the time to find the applicable instructions and used them to explain the injustice in legal terms that were compelling. I would work with her again!
