Our lawyers represent individuals before the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) in cases involving their security clearances.
It is important to have legal representation during the DOHA hearing process, which can be very similar to typical court proceedings. The following is the process that one might expect at a security clearance hearing before a DOHA administrative judge.
How DOHA Cases Usually Start
DOHA cases typically begin when a federal contractor, military, or federal employee receives a Statement of Reasons (SOR) from the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA). In submitting their response, the individual will have the choice of having their case heard by an administrative judge at DOHA or reviewed based on the written record. The process varies a bit based on whether the individual is employed by the government or is a government contractor. However, when a choice is made, electing a hearing before a DOHA Administrative Judge is our usual recommended choice.
Differences Between Contractors and Federal Employees
There are differences in the DOHA process for government contractors, military personnel, and federal employees. For instance, DOHA decisions for government contractors are binding. For federal employees and military personnel, DOHA decisions are recommended, and they will then be reviewed by other agency personnel for final decision. A DOHA Hearing for federal employees and military personnel is also known as a Personal Appearance as opposed to a hearing. However, no matter what type of employee one is, the DOHA hearing process is pretty similar.

Due to overwhelming audience demand and rave reviews, the show, which was originally scheduled to close this weekend, will now run through October 13.
With its blend of humor, heartbreak, and raw authenticity, The Waverly Gallery is sure to continue touching hearts during its extended run. Set in New York City in the late 1980s, The Waverly Gallerytells the story of Gladys, the elderly matriarch of the Green family, who has run an art gallery in a small Greenwich Village hotel for many years. The management wants to replace her less-than-thriving gallery with a coffee shop. Always irascible but now increasingly erratic, Gladys becomes a cause for concern to her family.
Kenneth Lonergan, known for his sensitive portrayals of family and emotional complexity (Manchester by the Sea, This Is Our Youth), paints a nuanced picture of intergenerational relationships, care, and loss. The production reunites director Alex Levy and Lonergan for the first time since 1st Stage’s production of Lobby Here, which the Wall Street Journal declared the nation’s best regional production of 2016.
For 1st Stage, this production has resonated strongly with local audiences. Critics and theatergoers alike have praised the ensemble cast for delivering heartfelt performances, particularly highlighting the sensitive portrayal of Gladys by veteran DMV actress Catherine Flye.
Artistic Director Alex Levy expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of support from the community.
“The response to The Waverly Gallery has been extraordinary,” Levy said. “Kenneth Lonergan’s writing taps into universal truths about love, aging, and family. Our team has worked tirelessly to bring these themes to life on stage. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to share this story with even more people.”
The decision to extend the show underscores 1st Stage’s commitment to producing high quality, intimate works that speak to contemporary issues. Lonergan’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, which debuted on Broadway in 2018, remains particularly poignant today, as more families confront the challenges of caring for aging loved ones.
For those who have not yet seen the production, the added performances offer another chance to witness what has been called one of the finest local theater experiences of the season.
The Waverly Gallery will now run through October 13 at 1st Stage Theater in Tysons, Virginia. Tickets are available through at 1ststage.org or by calling the box office 703-854-1856.
Don’t miss this chance to experience a modern classic brought to life by one of the area’s most exciting theater companies.

5 Iconic Areas in Fairfax County You Should Know About
Is your roof starting to show signs of wear and tear, or is it time to refresh its look?
Shiner Exteriors, a trusted, family-owned business with over 43 years of experience, is here to help. Whether facing an aging roof, storm damage, or simply ready for a fresh look, Shiner Exteriors offers personalized solutions with a focus on quality and customer service, making them the top choice for Northern Virginia Homeowners.
Here’s what Joseph E, a recent customer, had to say about his roofing experience:
“Shiner Exteriors was the easy choice for replacing my roof and gutters after getting estimates from seven companies. The estimator was thorough, and knowledgeable, and educated me on what was needed and what my options were, but I never felt like he was pushing a sale or unnecessary upgrades.
The estimate they sent was the most detailed, and I had no worries about additional costs once the crew was on-site. They also helped me navigate getting a small insurance claim for weather damage to the metal parts. The roofing crew showed up 40 minutes early and got straight to work. These guys worked hard on a 95+ degree summer day and finished by 4 p.m. The gutters were done the next day with the same skill and efficiency.
On top of all this, Shiner was the least expensive among the companies that provided full quotes. Others were cheaper but left many things as ‘TBD’ based on what they would find during installation. I would, and already have, recommended Shiner Exteriors.”

USERRA is a federal law that protects military service members and veterans from employment discrimination on the basis of their service, allows them to regain their civilian jobs following a period of uniformed service, and ensures that they are not disadvantaged in their civilian careers because of their military service.
What is VEOA?
VEOA is a federal law that provides certain federal employees and applicants with a means of redress in the event that a federal executive agency violates the employee’s or applicant’s veterans’ preference rights. The Office of Personnel Management’s VetGuide provides a comprehensive list of campaigns and expeditions which qualify for veterans’ preference and insight on the types of veterans’ preference.
How to File an USERRA or VEOA Claim
A federal employee claiming a violation of USERRA may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), who will investigate the complaint and attempt to resolve the issue. Federal employees who believe their USERRA rights have been violated by an agency may alternatively (and often preferred) file an appeal directly with the MSPB. While there is generally no statute of limitations on USERRA claims, it is important to file them as soon as possible because those filed more recently will generally be viewed more credibly.
Under VEOA, before an individual can file a VEOA appeal with the MSPB, she/he must first file a complaint with the Secretary of Labor. After filing a complaint with the Secretary of Labor, an individual can pursue the case at the MSPB once 60 days has passed without a decision or within 15 days of receiving written notification from the Secretary of Labor that the Secretary has been unable to resolve the complaint. Unlike with USERRA, there is a deadline for filing a VEOA complaint with the Secretary of Labor. A VEOA complaint must generally be filed with the Secretary of Labor within 60 days of the VEOA violation.
Remedies for USERRA or VEOA Violations
If successful in an MSPB case based on either USERRA or VEOA, the following types of remedies are often available:
Correction of any unlawful employment action taken or not taken (USERRA)
Ordering the Agency to comply with the statute or regulation that was violated (VEOA)
Repayment of any loss of wages or back-pay (both USERRA and VEOA)
The award to a federal employee of reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, and other litigation expenses (both USERRA and VEOA)

Arrest records, also known as “rap sheets” or “criminal records,” contain the details of an individual’s arrest and conviction history. Federal, state, and local authorities save and use the information for several purposes.
Your state law and the contexts of your arrest will determine the record’s availability to the public.
