Mr. Edmunds worked an excellent security clearance appeal for me

The government denied my security clearance for unfair reasons, my coworkers had successfully used Mr. Edmunds lawyer services and were able to get their denial revoked. Him and his staff are extremely professional, very quickly I got their assistance and they made me feel safe and confident when the...y told me how we were going to defend my case. I gathered some paperwork and work with them closely. They created a very professional and complete appeal package and we answered to the government. I’m optimistic of the outcome as all my peers that have used Mr Edmunds got their security clearances back. I recommend him and his staff 100%.

Reinstated!!!!

Let me first say that anyone who has gone their clearance possibly being revoked will know how painful it can be. Just the thought of losing your livelihood, there are not many words to describe that feeling. I am already a worry wart, so having to deal with this made my worry and anxiety 100x worse.... Like many of you, I read so many discussion boards and majority, if not all, advised a lawyer and/or hired a lawyer. I reached out to 2 other law firms prior to hiring The Edmunds Law Firm but the price tag was way too high. When I reached out to The Edmunds Law Firm, their approach when dealing with my response to the SOR was no different the other 2 law firms I contacted. The biggest difference was the price, literally half the cost that was a flat fee, no retainer! I was a bit skeptical because of the huge price difference. But I thought long and hard so I hired the Edmunds Law Firm. And I am so glad I did. BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT! Brittany was the attorney who assisted me. I had specific questions regarding my case and the military. And although Brittany was not too familiar with the military, she let me speak to another attorney, who had more experience with the military, I forgot his name. But he was extremely helpful and insightful as well. It was a pretty straight forward process, as I had to get all the required documents together and send to Brittany and her team. Once they received everything from me, they worked their magic on my response. Once it was completed, I reviewed the draft and it was sent off. Of course you have your doubts, and what ifs, and just thoughts of not being reinstated. That will unfortunately come along with this process. But the response Brittany and her team wrote was really strong and I am so grateful to them!! My career has been saved and I cannot think Brittany and The Edmunds Law Firm enough for their professionalism, timeliness, and knowledge through this entire ordeal. If you are ever in a situation regarding your clearance, please contact this law firm, you will not be disappointed!!

Favorable Decision

Mr. Edmund's firm helped me to file my Statement of Reasons (SOR) response to the DOD by providing me with a list of actions I needed to fully defend the reasons that my clearance could possibly be denied. His staff stayed in contact with me while I put together the documents requested. When the govt... denied my clearance based solely on two financial issues, I sought his services for an appeal. We spoke several times on the phone and was provided a list of things to practice for a hearing testimony. On the day of the hearing, we met in person and went over the case. He accompanied me to the hearing, minimized my interaction as I was quite nervous. He masterfully closed his argument with a final question for me that I believed ended up ultimately in my favorable decision and clearance restoral from the DOHA judge.

Magnificent!

I was denied security clearance, so I hired The Edmunds Law Firm to file an appeal. From the first consultation I felt safe that they would do all they could in order to help me out. The team is very determined and hard-working to assure the best quality work, I was shown progress over time and thank...fully at the end won my appeal! I wish I would have found the Edmunds law firm sooner they are very smart and up to date with so many ways to receive your security clearance back!

Very Professional

The Edmonds Law Firm is incredible. I'm so grateful for the guidance and support that was provided to me throughout this entire process. I felt super confident in my representation and their team. I was brought to tears when I was granted the security clearance.
