FOR ATTORNEYS

To Leanne M. Innet’s Fellow Attorneys:

Some of your clients hold national security clearances, i.e., are eligible to access federally classified information, which may be negatively impacted by the decisions made during the course of your representation. Common areas of law where this arises are criminal, bankruptcy and tax, family, and employment matters.

Those who serve our country are held to a higher standard, which, as practitioners, we must respect when advising them. In determining eligibility for access to classified information, the individual is viewed as a whole person, not a single event; and therefore, the determination is fact-specific. Ms. Innet will advise you and your client as to how choices in the underlying matter may impact continued eligibility for a clearance based upon your client's personal history, type of employment, and level of clearance.

In many instances, your client's need for your representation is the result of a situation that also triggers the ongoing duty to immediately self-report adverse information. Timeliness in self-reporting is paramount to protecting eligibility for access to classified information, which equates to protecting your client's livelihood. To provide comprehensive protection of your client's interests, Ms. Innet is available for consultation to provide whole-person focused advocacy. She will gladly represent your client in lodging a self-report—both verbal and written—as well as in all levels of adjudication of eligibility.

Ms. Innet would be honored to help you help your clients, so please contact the Law Office of Leanne M. Innet, LLC, by calling (843) 814-2928.
