Top-Notch Service

I was faced with a complex and difficult security clearance case. I retained counsel from another security clearance law firm to write a SOR which resulted in writing an addendum to the initial SOR package. The other firm did not meet my expectations. Additional security concerns arose from that S...OR package costing me thousands. I contacted Edmunds Law Firm to help untangle their mess and address the additional security clearance concerns that arose. Their team were accessible for questions, walked me through the process, readily available to address questions along the way, and successfully adjudicated my security clearance dilemma. If I contacted Edmunds Law Firm initially, I am confident that my SOR submission would have been adjudicated right the first time. I highly recommend Edmunds Law firm to address any security clearance concerns regardless of complexity. They are real pros and offered top-notch service with positive results.

Security Clearance Case

I am almost certain I would have not received the favorable decision with my security clearance if it wasn’t for Mr. Edmunds and his amazing team. His team was quick in responding to the government and putting together an extensive packet with mitigating evidence. His team was always quick to respond... to emails and phone calls, they were also very empathetic and very respectful with the difficult situation I was going through. Mr. Edmunds extensive experience was pivotal in preparing me for the hearing. Prior to this, I had zero experience in dealing with legal matters and the court system. Mr. Edmunds met with me personally on various occasions to go over my case and the strategy we would take during the hearing. On the day of the hearing the government brought up 2 exhibits against me, Mr. Edmunds firm had prepared a packet with over 15 mitigating exhibits in my defense. It was clear to me that on the day of the trial we had the upper hand. In the DOHA written decision, the judge wrote about me “he impressed me as a young man with maturity and candor well beyond his years”. Again, I am certain the hearing wouldn’t have gone as well as it did if Mr. Edmunds hadn’t prepared me so well. Mr. Edmunds law firm saved my career and what I have worked so hard to obtain; and for that reason I am extremely grateful! For reference, I received a SOR under adjudication guideline H.

My Saving Grace

Had a couple things come up due to some misunderstanding and decided to call The Edmunds Law Firm. I spoke with Alan on the very first call and it was decided to press forward. The team at Edmunds Law Firm was professional, responsive and very helpful. They gave me the guidance to obtain all the i...nformation, documents, and other requirements necessary for them to compile and submit an appeal on my behalf and a favorable decision was made. Absolutely thrilled and I appreciate them very much. Hate to say it, but they dont charge enough. What a steal!! Thanks for your services. Now on with life!

Amazing Result!

I received a Supplemental Information Request (SIR) from DoD CAF and recognized that I needed assistance to generate a response. I researched available attorneys and found excellent reviews for the Edmunds firm. I submitted a request for assistance on a Friday evening and received a call from Mr. E...dmunds on Saturday. I retained his firm based upon that initial discussion and we started the response package on the same day. I was assigned a very responsive team who assembled the package for my response to DoD CAF. Within one business day of submitting the response, my case was favorably adjudicated by DoD CAF! The Edmunds team successfully presented my whole person defense through their comprehensive response package. I could not have achieved this result without their representation and especially not at this stage of the process. I never had to go to a SOR or formal hearing. Hire this firm if you value your career! They understand this process and they can get favorable results!

Mr. Edmunds worked an excellent security clearance appeal for me

The government denied my security clearance for unfair reasons, my coworkers had successfully used Mr. Edmunds lawyer services and were able to get their denial revoked. Him and his staff are extremely professional, very quickly I got their assistance and they made me feel safe and confident when the...y told me how we were going to defend my case. I gathered some paperwork and work with them closely. They created a very professional and complete appeal package and we answered to the government. I’m optimistic of the outcome as all my peers that have used Mr Edmunds got their security clearances back. I recommend him and his staff 100%.
