Excellent Legal Representation

Attorney Alan Edmunds and his firm represented me in a case involving the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals. The case was argued before an administrative judge to decide on the continuation of my government security clearance. Attorney Edmunds provided me with excellent legal representatio...n that led to winning the case for me. He prepared my dossier for submission to the judge and represented me in the hearing. He acted professionally, did precisely what he promised to do, and the final cost was as we initially agreed. I highly recommend attorney Edmunds and his firm for cases related to government issued security clearances.

Saved my Career and my Clearance

I received a Statement of Reasons (SOR) from the government and thought I could respond to myself which I did. What a mistake. The next thing I know the government has threatened to revoke my clearances and has scheduled me in front of a judge at a hearing to defend myself. The SOR was full of mista...kes and misinformation. I contacted the Edmunds Law Firm and my case was given to Ryan Nerney. Ryan knew what documents I needed to submit, what documents needed notarized and made sure I was well prepared when I appeared at the Hearing. Ryan was there with me and did a fantastic job. The ruling finally came down from the judge in my favor!! Ryan and Edmunds Law firm saved my career and my reputation. I recommend this law firm without hesitation for any security clearance issues. They know their stuff!!

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!
