I highly recommend KCNF!
I’ve turned to them on a few occasions for legal counsel on an employment issue and each time the lawyers at the firm were very responsive and amazingly helpful. They worked with me to find the right approach to the issue and provided solid legal counsel. They had my back and fought for my rights. Wh...

Not for clearance related matters
I hired this attorney to work on an interrogatory and response to SOR on my firm's recommendation that Elizabeth Newman was the lawyer. Ms. Newman retired, so her colleague took the case instead. After that one thing after another kept going poorly. I'd receive agreements with someone else's retainer...
This is certainly a disappointing review, but I am happy to hear that this client has found a new lawyer, with whom I hope she will have success. My reading of her public feedback is that I should have done a better job communicating with her – about nuts and bolts issues as well as the reasoning behind my recommendations. I am sorry that our early successes got lost in her later discontent with my approach to her case. Although a hearing seemed inevitable because of the facts of her case, we successfully narrowed the issues, first, through our responses to interrogatories and then, through our response to the Statement of Reasons. Those successes, though partial, should improve her chances of a successful outcome at the upcoming hearing. Even so, I am sorry that I was not more successful communicating and resolving conflicts with her over strategy. For example, I should have made more clear that in a security clearance appeal the applicant’s input is an absolute necessity. Success in these cases requires that I work closely with my clients and rely on them for facts and accuracy. And I am sorry that, after it became evident that our communications had irreparably deteriorated, I did not sooner advise her that her interests would be better served by different representation. Ethical considerations prevent me from addressing any of this client’s specific and – to my mind, unfounded – criticisms (except for her point about the retainer agreement; unfortunately, there was an error which required correction) . Nevertheless, I am glad that she has found a new lawyer with whom she can work and wish her every success.

So far so good
I hired Ms Fitch from her bio and comments and because my case is still on going and active I cannot comment on success as if yet but I can tell you that since signing with her she has been very active on the case with an upbeat attitude which puts me at ease that I had a good gut feeling about Ms Fi...
