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.

Granted Security Clearance

I was issued and intent to deny letter over an incident that had happened many years before my applying to work for the government. I was initially panicked and anxious about how this would play out, but hiring the Edmunds Law Firm was the best decision I could have made. My attorney, Ryan Nerney, wa...s extraordinarily thorough and professional. He knew everything that I needed to submit on my behalf and exactly how to write my response letter. We left no stone unturned and he was courteous and prompt to answer all of my questions and address any of my concerns. They were also honest about pricing. Their advertised flat rate was indeed a flat rate with no hidden fees or surprises. I recommend them without hesitation.

SECRET CLEARANCE ADJUDICATION

I want to thank the Edmunds Law Firm for there help in obtaining my SECRET clearance. I chose Edmunds Law Firm because of the reputation they have and I made the right choice! My attorney was Ryan Nerney and I want to thank him for working with me every step of the way. I constantly communicated w...ith Ryan asking for status and he never tired of keeping me informed and so I truly appreciate the patience and professionalism. It was a stressful wait however I see now why the Edmunds Law Firm is high regarded and I am very relieved I chose them. I depended heavily on this clearance and without it my career choices were seriously limited. I highly recommend the Edmunds Law Firm for assistance with clearance issues!

Help with DoD Security Clearance

I initially emailed the Edmunds Law Firm about a letter I had received from the Department of Defense stating they were getting ready to deny my SECRET security clearance and giving me a very short window to appeal. The first call I got was from Alan Edmunds and they were on the case immediately fil...ing the correct paperwork, contacting the appropriate government folks and staving off a pending denial of my clearance. Mr. Ryan Nerney was assigned to my case and he carefully walked me thru the exact steps I needed to take (including requesting a hearing to which my company FSO said I didn't need to request and reply in writing) to ensure I had the best chance of reviving my now on life support security clearance. I am happy to say it worked! I had spent almost 3 years responding back and fourth with the government when if I had only reached out to the Edmunds Law Firm when I got my first SOR I could have saved myself a year of stress and had my clearance much earlier. I can't say enough about the Edmunds Law Firm and Mr Nerney, they are professional, know the law, have great experience and relationships with the local (in my case San Diego) government personnel and treat you with the utmost respect even with some of your "skeletons in the closet" are a bit embarrassing. I would hire again in a second and highly recommend the Edmunds Law Firm for any DoD security clearance issues as they'll definitely get the job done!
