Quality & professionalism

Mark represented me for a clearance issue. His experience is respected in the intelligence community and he knew the process well. His approach was professional and he genuinely cared about my situation. I would recommend his services without hesitation.

I Made A Great Decision When I Hired Mark Zaid

Mark has been representing me for several years concerning a complex case involving the Federal Government. I first became aware of Mark, and his reputation as a stellar attorney, when a Senior Executive within my organization recommended Mark, based upon firsthand knowledge of Mark's experience, re...putation, and his skills and abilities. Mark brings to the issue at hand a drive and determination second to none. Mark is very intelligent, well networked, and I am very glad that he is representing me.

The Ultimate National Security Legal Mind and Counselor

Mark is the most effective, intelligent and brilliant lawyer in the legal community regarding the full spectrum of national security, intelligence and security clearance regulations and law. He has devoted his entire career to the study, understanding and practical applications of the law and how to... defend individual rights and protections in the complex world of government regulation and bureaucracy that is often dysfunctional and capricious.

Job well done

Mark's subject matter expertise on navigating government bureaucracy and security matters are first-rate. His firm provides prudent and sound advice at very reasonable rates. I've referred others to Mark. Recommend strongly.

Helped me in fight with CIA and FBI

I submitted a FOIA request and ended up being accused of stealing classified information, had my house raided by the FBI, and placed on Administrative Leave. With the full force of the Dept. of Justice against me Mark helped navigate through all of this, fight back against the FBI and CIA and was ab...le to get the Dept of Justice to close the case. I valued his counsel and his knowledge in the area of litigation in the Intelligence Community.
