Consummate professional

Prior to retaining him, Troy advised me that the successful outcome in my case was unlikely, however there was a chance. Thanks to his hard work we were adjudicated successfully, and I kept my clearance I would recommend Troy to anyone who is desirous of keeping their clearance.

Adjudicated: Clearance Maintained!

Troy was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution during my adjudication process seemed impossible. Not only was he able to represent me from an unfair accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support to my...self and those I care about most. My wife and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Troy without reservation.

Obtained TS Upon Responding to an LOI on the first try!

Troy helped my obtain my Top Secret clearance after my agency (USDA) issued a letter of intent to deny, based on some very speculative misinformation. Troy was systematic, did his homework and knew his material from experience. He worked well with me to obtain all necessary background documentation... and gave me good guidance when I had questions. The final product he came up with, which was a response letter with attachments to the LOI, was thorough and complete. We were able to mitigate each point by point. As a result, I obtained my clearance within days of my response. Troy also completed the work within budget, after using the lump sum approach. I found him more economical than some of the bigger DC firms, yet every bit as diligent and as easy to work with, and his work is on par with the best.

Honest, Effective, Dedicated

I cannot say enough about Troy Nussbaum's professionalism and genuine concern for (potential) clients. While I was seeking representation for a very complex legal issue, Mr. Nussbaum went out of his way to research the situation and talk me through my options and their associated risks. His demonstr...ated generosity with his time and his dedication to understanding my issues gives me great confidence that Mr. Nussbaum is a lawyer that will fight fiercely and effectively on behalf of his clients. I highly recommend this gentleman.

Highly recommend Troy Nussbam

From the first phone call Troy reassured us that he would do everything in his power to assist us. Troy explained in detailed exactly what he could do to help us as well as the process of an appeal if necessary. Troys knowledge of our situation put us at ease and we knew we had the right person on ...our side and immediately hired him. Within an hour of providing our documentation and Troy reviewing them Troy immediately found two areas of defense I overlooked. Our case was a quick turnaround due to delays from the government. We worked feverishly with Troy proving him the listing of documents while Troy prepared our defense. Our statement of reason Troy prepares was reviewed and submitted 2 days of scheduled. I can happily say the outcome was to our benefit. I truly don’t believe we would received this outcome without Troy.

Government lawyer | Dec 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Attorney Nussbaum. Many of my clients are required to maintain a government security clearance as a condition of employment. That often presents unique challenges for the proper handling of their matter. Mr. Nussbaum has been a vital component to the mix of competent representation in parallel with actions that will contribute to an outcome that will not jeopardize that continued government security clearance."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"It is my pleasure to endorse attorney Troy Nussbaum. Troy joined our firm while he was in law school as a law clerk. He worked mainly for me as the Senior Partner in the areas of my practice concentration which were assisting government contractors and national security clearance appeals. Troy had exactly the qualities which I needed and clearly, as time went on, could endure as my successor when I retired. I was sufficently comfortable with Troy’s, knowledge, expertise and demeanor for me to recommend him for membership as an attorney in the Security Clearance Lawyers Association and for him to accompany me in security clearance hearings before the National Security Agency and the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals. I am now retired from my law firm of Henault & Sysko, Chartered and I highly recommend Troy Nussbaum for representation in cases which require substantial legal knowledge, mature judgment and finest."
