With respect to security clearance defense, Mr. Dawson provides legal representation and an impressive defense in administrative proceedings within the U.S. Department of Defense for those who, in the department's opinion, should not have, or should no longer continue to have, a security clearance to perform their jobs, as the department believes that it is not consistent with the national interest to do so. Mr. Dawson has had considerable success in obtaining and/or keeping security clearances for those who appear for administrative hearings before the Department of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA). After having practiced in this field for some time, he was offered a position prosecuting these cases before the Department of Defense but he politely declined the offer. He additionally handles administrative appeals, if necessary, within the same agency. Mr. Dawson has a reputation for honesty and diligence, as well as providing, and obtaining, relevant details to and from his clients and in the presentation of each case.
