Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia
Deceptive Hiring Practice
I was hired by a company to work on a government contract requiring a security clearance. I had one. The hiring company was supposed to do a security clearance transfer called a ''Crossover''. I signed a contract with them and they told me and the government client that they did the Crossover and for me to resign from my old company. After resigning from my old company, it was found out that the new company did not do the Crossover. The government client then canceled me from the position, the company then released me and my clearance was deactivated as ''Self-Terminated''. I have not been able to get another job requiring a security clearance. What actions can I take against this company?

Re: Deceptive Hiring Practice
Sounds like you might have a lawsuit against this company. There could be a number of theories, including breach of contract, negligence, fraud and promissory estopppel. Whether you have to sue in Virginia, or can sue in Georgia or somewhere else, and under which state's law is not quite clear from the information you've given. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss the situation further.
Re: Deceptive Hiring Practice
It would appear that many more facts would be necessary in order to deterrmine whether you might have a valid basis for a claim against this particular company. It would seem that, perhaps, there could be other reasons as to why
your security clearance transfer("Crossover")did
not go through for reasons other than those which
might constitute tortious behaviour against your person which might be attributable to this particular company.
