Security Clearance Hearing

I am quite grateful that I hired attorney Edmunds to represent me. I have approximately zero experience dealing with this type of legal situation, so I was grateful for the clarity and understanding he provided to me about the entire process. Most importantly, his representation resulted in my winnin...g a case to have my security clearance reinstated after it had been suspended. He guided me in gathering evidence and character witnesses. Beyond the hard evidence, he was able to present my case in a way that reflected my character and my passion to support my country and troops. His passion when he presented his closing argument was impressive, and I had the sense that we had really hit a home run. After our victory in the hearing, the opposition pressed on with an appeal, which Attorney Edmunds convinced them to withdraw before it even went to the appeals board. I really felt like he picked up my case, hit the ground running, guided me to gather everything I needed to win, and doggedly stuck with the case through to the very end. My hope is that I will never need to deal with such a legal situation again, but if I find myself in that situation, I will not hesitate to go back to Attorney Edmunds for representation again.

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.

SAVED after contacting Edmunds Law firm

I received Statement of Reasons (SOR) and thought my career was over; I was an emotional wreck so I hired Edmunds Law Firm to help me fight for my position. They provided excellent client services: promptly taking calls and responding by emails. They walked me though each step of the process. I hi...red the best and my security clearance is SAVED!

Attorney Review

Alan and his staff did an excellent job for me. When I had my initial query of where I stood legally, he immediately jumped on the offensive. His demeanor was excellent and it quelled all the disruptive thoughts I had about my situation. His staff was also a great factor in winning the case. They... explained exactly the data which would be needed to win. When Alan explained exactly how the proceedings would occur, I was skeptical because opposing counsel really sounded aggressive. When we finally got to the courtroom, everything went exactly as Alan and his staff had described it. I was not nervous at all and it seemed like the atmosphere was a bit less aggressive than I thought it would be. He handled the witness team with skill and precise questioning - they also thought Alan did an excellent job. I would gladly ask for Alan expert legal assistance if I need representation again.

Security Clearance Written Response to SOR

I used the law firm of Alan Edmunds to assist with responding to a Statement of Reasons. I emailed Alan on a Saturday and received an immediate response the same day. Alan asked me about the case and offered me a flat rate. I told Alan I wanted to speak to a few other attorneys locally and that I ...would get back to him. After speaking to these other firms, I was astonished at the cost they waned to charge. All of them wanted to skip the written response because they said that written responses hardly work and wanted to go right to a hearing and bring in expert witnesses. Their cost was between 8-12K. I went back to Alan and he said that his firm has a great track record of written responses and I trusted him. Well, that paid off because after working with one of the attorneys in Mr. Edmunds firm, my security clearance was granted. Ryan and the rest of the firm were easy to work with, very accessible, and good at explaining what documents I needed and why. I would use this law firm again if I ever needed legal assistance with a security clearance and highly recommend them.
