Excellent Legal Representation

Attorney Alan Edmunds and his firm represented me in a case involving the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals. The case was argued before an administrative judge to decide on the continuation of my government security clearance. Attorney Edmunds provided me with excellent legal representatio...n that led to winning the case for me. He prepared my dossier for submission to the judge and represented me in the hearing. He acted professionally, did precisely what he promised to do, and the final cost was as we initially agreed. I highly recommend attorney Edmunds and his firm for cases related to government issued security clearances.

Excellent Service; great results

I found the Edmunds law firm through an Internet search to help me with my security clearance, which had been denied after working for the government for more than 15 months. After speaking to them and my attorney Ryan Nerney, I felt confident that I would have a favorable outcome. Attorney Nerney a...lso told me where to go so I could review their cases and outcomes to prove that they are highly successful in security clearance matters. After doing my research and validating they are highly successful, I retained their services. Attorney Nerney, reviewed my case, wrote an aggressive appeal, spoke with me every step of the way, and made sure I was ready for my hearing in front of an Administrative Judge. At the hearing, Attorney Nerney was professional, well-versed, and aggressively argued the FACTS in my case to prove I was suitable for a government security clearance. He even went so far as to ask the Judge for an expedited response because I had been on suspension without pay for 10 months, and had children to take care of. The Judge agreed to the expedited response given my circumstances, and just over two months after the hearing, I was notified that the Judge gave a favorable recommendation, and the government approved my security clearance so that I can return to work and continue my career. I highly recommend The Edmunds Law firm and their attorney's. They are well-versed in security clearance matters and have proven to me they know what they are doing. I only wish I had contacted them sooner.

Security Clearance - Written Response to SOR for Drug Involvement, Personal Misconduct and Criminal Conduct (Active Duty)

After getting notice from my security officer that I would be receiving a Statement of Reasons to preliminarily revoke my Secret clearance and deny my request for a TS/SCI, I thought my career in the military was over. I had no clue what I was doing or who the best option would be to help me with my... case. I contacted Alan Edmunds Firm after spending hours on Google reading reviews for other firms. I called and spoke to Mr. Ryan Nerney about my case. He explained the entire response process, all possible outcomes, pricing, and even offered a military discount. He was friendly, professional and sounded like he had a lot of experience. It all sounded too good to be true so I decided to look into a few other firms before making my decision. None of the other lawyers I spoke with even came close to comparing to the Edmund Firm in pricing, willingness to help or professionalism. I decided to go with Mr. Nerney and his team, which turned out to be the best decision I have ever made for my career. It took me two months to gather all the documents needed to build a strong response with Mr. Nerney. He provided valuable input along the way, advice on how to communicate with my chain of command about the matter and was always quick with responding via email. This was especially important to me because of being stationed overseas. After the response was submitted, I was still preparing for the worst. Mr. Nerney told me it would take 1-3 months to hear back and that if the response was not favorable, we would do what needed to be done to prepare for the hearing stage. Not even TWO WEEKS later, I had my answer from DODCAF - FAVORABLE SECURITY DETERMINATION AFTER DUE PROCESS. I cannot describe the relief I felt in that moment and I owe all my thanks to Ryan and the Alan Edmund's Team. If you are active duty and have a security clearance concern, this firm is your best chance to keep your clearance and your career.

Individual Divorce

Over the past two years, I’ve worked with several divorce attorney’s and Alan was by-far the most professional, passionate and determined of them all. His clear direction and guidance allowed me to achieve both of my life-balance goals; financial and family-based. I would highly recommend Alan and hi...s firm to anyone seeking professional and successful divorce litigation.

Excellent representation

The entire staff at the Edmund’s firm was friendly and responsive from my first meeting with them. I was facing an uphill challenge while going through the security clearance process. Honestly, I did not think I had chance in being approved for a clearance. The Edmund’s law firm put all of my fea...rs at ease and explained the entire process to me. The Edmunds law firm represented me during my security clearance hearing. Ryan was my attorney and he did an excellent job before, during and following up after the case. Because of their expertise, I was able to receive a favorable ruling and receive my security clearance. This decision will provide me with new opportunities and allow me to grow professionally. I would strongly recommend working with the Edmund’s law firm if you need assistance with keeping or applying for a security clearance.
