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.

Expirenced Lawyer

Very Powerful lawyer, I contacted Mr Edmunds in September 2013 about my security Clearance which was about to be revoked due to Financial issues. Mr Edmunds was able to reply my SOR that was sent to me and requested for a hearing. I could not afford the fee due to my financial issues, but he went a...head and took my case. He flew to Virginia and represented me at the hearing. After a couple of weeks I got a call from him wishing me congratulation and now I am happy and no stress and more educated in Clearance issues. I would recommend Mr. Edmunds to anyone who needs help in Security Clearance issues....The whole staff was always in contact with me for any updates..

national security matter

Attorney Edmunds is a very good lawyer and very good in the court room. He saved my career and I kept my security clearance. His staff is very professionsl. His fees were set and he didn't ask for additional money beyond the original retainer.

Security Clearance

Hired law firm to help answer security clearance issue. After paying $$$, I still have no idea what the issue is on why my clearance has been flagged. A complete waste of money!! They are very disorganized. They would email one form for me to fill out, which I did and sent back. A few days later, the...y would email another form for me to fill out, which I did and sent back. A few days later, they would email another form for me to fill out, which I did and sent back. A few days later, they would email another form for me to fill out, which I did and sent back. If they really deal with security clearance issues, they SHOULD SEND ANY RELEVANT DOCS at one time! The firm never provided ANY document they received from NGA. They sent me an email indicating they contacted NGA and provided what they said was NGA's 'response. I have seen no proof they actually contacted the agency. I requested law firm's assistance to obtain reason and documents from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency regarding the loss of my security clearance. Before my father hired them for me, I knew my clearance had a "Loss of Jurisdiction" mark. Before providing $ to the firm, I spoke with one of their people and provided them with this information. The email I received at the end from the law firm basically said there was a "Loss of Jurisdiction." It cost $1K to find out what I already knew. They did say they would write a letter to potential employers that the potential employer could pick up my clearance, but the letter would cost additional money from what I recall. Firm will try to have adverse reviews removed!
