Denied Security Clearance – Guideline F (Financial Concerns)
The DoD has used the financial problems in an applicant’s past as the most common allegation for suspending and removing a Security Clearance. The Directive 5220.6 under Guideline F has become the most popular basis from denial of a persons Security Clearance. Attorney Alan Edmunds, this country’s leading Security Clearance Lawyer, has successfully defended hundreds of these cases across the country.
Attorney Edmunds has repeatedly argued the mitigating factors to win a favorable decision for his clients. The issue of preparation is key to success according to Attorney Alan Edmunds. Often applicants are simply not prepared for the Hearing and they lose their case.
Alan Edmunds appears on every case with a Hearing Notebook and has already served the gov’t attorney and the Judge with hundreds of pages of exhibits.

The second issue that Alan Edmunds hits hard in the courtroom is preparation of witnesses. Many times applicants who earn denied security clearance bring witnesses to a Hearing who are not prepared.
