Brian Griffin Smith

I had a great experience working with this attorney on my government clearance process, which resulted in a favorable outcome. He took the time to clearly explain every step, answered all of my questions, and made sure nothing was overlooked. His attention to detail and deep understanding of the proc...ess gave me real peace of mind. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing assistance with clearance related matters.

I received an SOR for secret security clearance due to a history of marijuana use. (An SOR is a provisional denial.) Brian helped me understand my options, and supported me in responding to the government. I was very anxious about the whole process until I had Brian on my team. Once I hired him... the stress went from a 9 to a 2. Brian helped me acknowledge receipt of the SOR within 1 week, and then guided me through assembling my formal response over the next 2 months. The response was detailed, thorough, and effective. I received my secret clearance within 6 weeks of submitting that paperwork. The whole process was about 3-4 months. If you're in a similar situation, don't hesitate to reach out. Well worth the cost.

I am so incredibly grateful I found Brian for my clearance process. I had a pretty rough past with a lot to mitigate, and Brian patiently helped me navigate the process and provide everything they needed to grant me my TS clearance. He's clearly knowledgeable about the process and what they are looki...ng for, and I felt far more confident with his help and guidance.

I hired Brian to assist me with an IL DUI case. Brian provided me with an in-depth consultation before we proceeded. He worked until we accomplished a successful resolution. Throughout the process, Brian was responsive to any inquiries providing me with knowledge and guidance. He worked to build a st...rategy to navigate the case to a successful completion. He also offers perspective from both a prosecution and defenders point of view. I would contact Brian for any future legal needs and recommend him to others.

Brian was amazing. He walked me through an extremely difficult, complicated situation which had a lot of different moving parts. There were multiple parties and government agencies involved and I quite literally could have lost a valuable, prosperous career in federal government, a security clearance..., and reputation. He was able to use his background, experience, and expertise to advocate on my behalf and his work resulted in a favorable outcome for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone! He is professional, personable, and accessible. I owe him a great debt of gratitude.
