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.

Security Clearance Appeal Hearing

I had a telephonic consultation with Mr. Edmonds to discuss my case and at that point decided to retain his services. Mr Edmunds and his staff told me EXACTLY what to anticipate. We went over the SOR line by line addressing everything in detail in a methodical manner without any judgements. Mr. Edmu...nds and his staff gave me precise instructions as to what documentation they needed for my case. Their timeline for the case was spot on. Whenever my wife or I had a question or concern they addressed them patiently and professionally. After the discovery phase, Mr. Edmunds took the time to get to know me in order represent me using the "whole person concept" vs allegations on a SOR. His knowledge, skill and ability during the actual hearing would make one think he had known me personally for years. I would highly recommend anyone finding themselves in similar circumstances would avail themselves of his world class services. His services are not only the best in the business but also quite reasonable and affordable.

Victory With Security Clearance Matter

Looking for help defending your security clearance by responding to a Statement of Reasons? Look NO FURTHER THAN EDMUNDS LAW FIRM! They are truly fantastic! In short, Alan Edmunds and his staff saved my 15 year career as a Civilian Government Contractor on a Navy account. I received an SOR in January... 2016 after filing two Chapter 13 bankruptcies inside of a 7 year period. I was absolutely panicked and convinced that I would not be able to sway the Government to see me as the good and trustworthy individual that I am, who has had a calamity of impactful events happen in my life. I thought I would lose my job and lose everything I have worked so hard for! After receiving several quotes from local law firms that were all ridiculously high, I found Edmunds online and read the great many positive reviews and success stories. I immediately called and spoke to Dennis Smith. He put my mind at ease right away and explained their process, the next steps and answered all of my questions. I hired them for half of what their competition charges! All of the documentation they produced, and all communications with me, were very helpful and professional. Alan Edmunds himself personally represented me, and defended my character using the whole person concept. I was extremely impressed with all of their efforts and their “can do” approach to my situation and case. The secret clearance we fought for was adjudicated as FAVORABLE!! I owe a debt of gratitude I could never repay to Alan Edmunds and the rest of his talented staff for saving my career so I can continue as the primary wage earner in my family. I COULD NOT have won this without the help of the Edmunds Law Firm. I give them my highest possible recommendation and whole heartedly encourage you to HIRE THEM!

POSITIVELY RECOMMEND!!!

As a single father and veteran, I can not say enough great things about this firm. Without giving away too much, the Edmunds Law Firm was able to give me a favorable verdict in obtaining custody of my daughters, while being affordable and mindful of my financial circumstances (they have military disc...ounts). In my opinion, the verdict represented a huge step forward in fathers’ rights and I cannot thank Mr. Edmunds, Mr. Neinas, and all of the awesome support staff at the Edmunds Law Firm enough. Their guidance and wisdom in executing a complex move-away/physical custody legal strategy resulted in a verdict that awarded physical custody to me! To everyone at the Alan Edmund’s Law Firm: from the bottom of a loving father’s and retired veteran’s heart, thank you for all of your hard work. You have earned a loyal client.

Thought my case was hopeless, they gave me actionable legal guidance that lead to a successful appeal!

I was denied government clearance, in a large part due to bad information. I did 2 out of 3 rounds of appeals on my own and was getting no where. 2 weeks before my final hearing date, I thought to contact a law firm. Edmunds responded and despite my own pessimism that we'd overturn the decision, I... was just notified that the panel did just that. I was going in blind before reaching, but the firm instructed me in what I needed to prepare for each part of my defense. I met one of their attorneys, Ryan, the day of the hearing and he guided me through the process. I couldn't be more satisfied.
