Very professional!!

My husband and I worked with The Edmunds Law Firm to resolve a dispute we had with our landlord and are very happy with the legal counsel and support they provided to us during that stressful time. Both Attorney Elizabeth and Alan are personable, responsive and able to explain complex legal issues in... real-world terms. Their advice allowed us to make informed decisions about how best to move forward with our case and they supported us throughout the whole legal process including all-day depositions and mediation. Without their counsel, it wouldn't have been possible to arrive at an easy settlement. Do yourself a favor and hire The Edmunds Law Firm if you have any law-related issues.

Security Clearance Assistance

Alan and his team were prompt in contacting me when I reached out to them. Alan always answered my questions the same day and made himself available when I needed to speak with him. He is knowledgeable and knows the security clearance process inside and out. My advice to anyone with a complex securit...y clearance investigation or reinvestigation case is to reach out to this team as soon as possible in the process. As soon as you get an "interrogatories" letter contact an attorney. Don't wait to get a SoR or for an appeal. It gets worse the more you wait and the outcome is better the sooner you get help.

Total satisfaction

Being in a desperate situation in obtaining security clearance, I contacted Edmunds law firm. After talking with Mr. Nerney and explaining my situation I felt a sigh of relief after he explained he could help. I retained there services and immediately the ball was rolling. And I now have my clearance..., I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Ryan in getting my paperwork in order and she was always available to answer my questions, and for sure you will be impressed by Mr. Nerney representing you in court. I would highly recommend this law firm for your security clearance needs

Best Security Clearance Lawyer in the Country

Attorney Edmund is definitely the best security clearance lawyer in the country. He is very knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to complex security clearance cases. Edmunds Law Firm has a very courteous and responsive legal team. Attorney Edmund represented me during my hearing and gave irref...utable arguments along with some very effective comparisons. His closing statement was a nail in the head. Attorney Edmund’s sincere hardwork and effective style from relevant experience enabled the judge to see me from a whole person point of view which overcame the SOR objections. In the end i was given a favorable decision, all thanks for Attorney Edmund.

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.
