Brian Griffin Smith

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've had a heck of a time getting through the security clearance process because I've had a long and complicated history that I struggled to summarize. Brian worked with me to fill out my interrogatory a few months ago. With his help, I was finally awarded conditional eligibility! Brian was highl...y professional and communicative the whole way through completing the interrogatory, and helped me narrow down the information to what was necessary and relevant to their concerns. I highly recommend his services for anyone needing an extra hand in this process. Thank you, Brian!

I had a great experience working with Brian from the very beginning. During our initial consultation, it was clear that he is highly knowledgeable about the security clearance process, and I felt confident moving forward with him on my case. I appreciated that he works independently, giving my case t...he personal attention it needed. Over the course of a multi-month adjudication period, multiple instances of past personal conduct raised concerns, which delayed the clearance process. However, Brian remained supportive and thorough in his approach, offering detailed guidance that was essential in addressing and mitigating these issues. Ultimately, thanks to Brian’s expertise and persistence, I received a favorable decision and was granted the higher clearance I had applied for. I highly recommend Brian for anyone needing a skilled and dedicated lawyer to navigate the complexities of the security clearance process.

Brian was my attorney for my case involving security clearance. During our initial consultation, Brian gave helpful advice and was very transparent about anything I asked. After being hired, Brian was extremely responsive in explaining my case and the process it would entail. He clearly indicated wha...t documents and information he needed to in order to achieve the ideal outcome. It was clear Brian was very knowledgeable and experienced in the specific area I hired him for. This all contributed to resolving my case with the best possible outcome. Overall, Brian was a true professional in regards to my case, as well as being empathetic and communicative. I would highly recommend him as an attorney to anyone else.

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.
