She makes a valid point but I think it’s off-topic a tiny bit. We are (I am) not arguing that it’s against the rules to bring an attorney. My issue is it may not be a good look when the adjudicator sees that in the notes. They will scrutinize all that much closer and probably make natural assumptions that this person is not being 100% truthful or forthcoming. The adjudicator doesn’t give a fart if you’ve done bad stuff (there’s some pretty shady characters with clearances out there). They only care that you’re being honest and not hiding anything from them.
