About

A highly respected and professionally recognized attorney, Andrew Bakaj is a former intelligence officer and criminal investigator who brings a history of distinguished service to the firm. This experience enables the firm to represent individuals in adverse security clearance actions, whistleblower activities, employment matters (to include appearing the Merit Systems Protection Board), Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) matters, and individuals, corporations, and organizations who are facing investigation. Notably, his background as a subject-matter expert in whistleblower reprisal investigations makes him uniquely qualified to represent individuals who have experienced retaliatory action as a result of lawfully engaging in protected activity—whistleblower reprisal—particularly when the action involves a security clearance. Moreover, he is a leading expert in security clearance matters. In his professional capacities, Andrew has advised and counseled numerous senior U.S. Government officials in a variety of legal and investigative areas.Andrew has been lauded by colleagues and professional organizations alike. Notably, he was named “Lawyer of the Year” by his peers at the Metropolitan Washington Employment Lawyers Association, and Washingtonian Magazine named him among Washington, DC’s top attorneys. Perhaps most unique is that Washingtonian named Andrew among “Washington’s 250 Most Influential People”, identifying him among “the 250 experts and advocates—outside the government—who’ll be shaping the policy debates of the years to come.”In naming Washington’s Most Influential People, Washingtonian wrote:“Policymaking changes as governments come in and out of power. But the bedrock underlying it—expertise that enables public service and good-faith debate and explains why idealists still come to Washington—remains. Here’s a look at who’s wielding that influence right now.”This distinction directly corresponds with many of Andrew’s cases and his publicly-stated personal mission: that his work be timely, relevant, and have impact.To that end, you have certainly seen his work as he has successfully represented clients in some of the nation’s highest profile matters. Andrew also lends his voice to addressing specific legal and policy issues when appropriate. As such, he has written numerous articles on security clearance issues, federal investigations, and whistleblower matters.Previously, Andrew also served as Senior Investigator with the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Inspector General.  While with DoD, he led and managed global investigative operations involving time-sensitive and high profile investigations, many of which involved senior officials.  Further, Andrew developed a legal and investigative framework in conducting the Federal Government’s first investigations involving security clearance actions as a pretext for whistleblower reprisal.  This framework was ultimately used as the basis for oversight over such investigations to comply with a Presidential Executive Order.  Andrew's proven ability to conceptualize and illustrate the long-term impact of significant regulatory and policy initiatives has been invaluable to the senior officials whom he has advised.  As a result, the Department of Defense recognized Andrew by awarding him Investigator of the Year, Investigations of the Year, and the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General Career Achievement Award.Prior to serving with CIA and DoD, Andrew practiced law in New Jersey and Washington, DC. Further, he has had numerous federal internships, which include serving with the State Department in Kyiv, Ukraine; as a law clerk with the Department of Justice; and serving three United States Senators. Andrew's practice areas include:Security Clearance and PolygraphWhistleblower Representation & Federal Employment LawCriminal and Administrative InvestigationsInternal InvestigationsCongressional InvestigationsGovernment & Media RelationsFreedom of Information Act and Pre-Publication GuidanceThe Compass Rose Financial Debt Recovery Program

I contacted Andrew seeking representation to formally respond to a Department or Navy Letter of Intent to revoke my security clearance. We quickly established a meeting to go over the particulars of my situation; he was attentive and sympathetic. After contemplating our initial I decided to move forward in hiring him to assist me in crafting my response. During this stressful process, we kept in routine contact and he was patient with my questions and provided -looking back on it - an honest appraisal of my chances of success (ie the things I had done that were favorable to my situation and things I may have neglected). At his suggestion, when I otherwise would not have, went to a psychiatrist to acquire a current assessment of my capacity to hold a clearance. This proved to be a wise suggestion. Lastly, as the due date for my response drew near, he worked tirelessly to collate more than 15 character references, medical records, and my person testament to DoNCAF. The end product was extremely clean and required very few revisions. All in all, I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to hire Andrew to support me. Going through this process was a very stressful time for my family and me. Andrew was a level headed arbiter that helped me balance logic (knowing that I had truly changed as a person) with emotion (knowing that my past would have consequences). My family and I are forever grateful for the legal services Andrew provided.

Mr. Bakaj not only is an intelligent attorney but also a valuable Subject-Matter-Expert in his field specifically on security clearance, PPD-19 / DTM 13-008, intelligence community, and Department of Defense cases. Also, he is a very honest person who has a big heart with oozing integrity. Even though he is currently a private practice attorney, he is in fact a “public servant at heart.” After I perceived that my previous legal representative was very dishonest and stealing my financial resources. I started reading articles on Google search regarding my convoluted case to help myself that lead to Mr. Bakaj's website. My Dad collapsed and passed away due to my gloomy situation. Perhaps, an Angel from Heaven guided me to locate his website. At that time, I was absolutely not trusting to anyone. I contacted him out of curiosity. Mr. Bakaj exhibited his extraordinary talents by rapidly fathomed the complexities of my situation and able to provide me with immediate insight. Moreover, he was sincerely helpful to me. He took over my case while my former attorney was in the work of playing dirty. Fortunately, he caught him on the act. He took the time to develop strategic methods to win my case. Mr. Bakaj always courteous and very focus, making me feel that my case was the only special thing being handled by his firm, when in reality I was possibly one of the hundreds of clients. As a result, he was very successful in assisting me to prevail my case. My family members, friends, and colleagues were very impressed of him. Mr. Bakaj will use his expertise and knowledge to help those he believes will benefit to the greater good of this Nation. Therefore, I would highly recommend him to those who desire to win!

Andrew Bakaj was a consummate professional and is exceptionally good at what he does. He was always open and honest with me, gave great advice, and prepared exceptional documents for my case. He was responsive, patient, and understanding. I really could not recommend him enough, especially for assistance with security clearance adjudications.

From day 1 Andrew spoke truthfully and honestly about the conditions of my case and what could be done to adjudicate successfully. He took extra effort above and beyond what could be expected for his services, while maintaining a high level of compassion. I could not have asked for a more knowledgable, approachable, and truly compassionate person to serve as my attorney.

Andrew Bakaj has been always helpful in terms of completing my SF-86 for re-investigation due to a record found in JPAS. He was thorough and understanding of my situation in which helped re grant my security clearance. His judgement was phenomenal and I would strongly encourage anyone who needs help with their re-investigation case to go to him.

I was in a bad predicament as my clearance was going to be revoked by DODCAF due to an incident that occurred over a year prior. While my agency did not want to fire me, they also had no positions for anyone without a clearance. I was looking at potentially being unemployed at age 60, and without a security clearance all of my past experience would be worthless. While looking on the internet, I saw an ad for Compass Rose. I read the reviews, and decided to send an email. Andrew Bakaj called me, and we discussed my case. He presented me a plan for a path ahead. I retained his services, and implemented his plan of action. And I am glad I did, as I just received notification from my CSM that my clearance was favorably adjudicated, and I am now good to go. Needless to say, I am elated. I definitely chose the correct legal firm, and lawyer. I am pleased and satisfied with his professional assistance in this matter. His demeanor when we spoke via phone and email was always both truthful, and reassuring. I really appreciated the strategy to resolve this issue immediately without having to proceed to the ultimate/last step, it proved to be effective. Both my wife and I are very thankful to Andrew for this positive outcome. He has my strongest recommendation if you find yourself in need of legal assistance with Clearance related issues.

I needed some leagal advice and direction due to an employment issue. I was not able to hire Mr. Bakaj, however, he was super helpful. He directed me in what to be prepared for, followed up with me knowing I could not afford his service, and gave me what advice he could to prepare for this event. If I could hire him, I definitely would have and if I ever need to hire an lawyer for anything that falls into his wheelhouse, I defintiely would turn to him first. He was very knowledgable.

My clearance situation was among the most dire of any cases of any I read. Andrew has genuinely tried and true framework to peel back the layers of the process, and ensure you provide all the information needed to mitigate concerns you ability to secure nation secrets. When you hire Adam, you can rest assured that your money was spent on the finest representation possible. There may be cheaper options, but being frugal with protecting of your professional lively is an unacceptable risk. Hire the best and not the cheapest.
