Successful Clearnace Renewal!

I received a LOI on my clearance re-investigation dealing with mistakenly unreported self-employment activity. After starting to draft a response on my own I quickly realized I did not know what I needed to do to satisfy any of the governments concerns. I found Mr. Troy Nussbaum and retained his serv...ices to help formulate a professional and complete response. Troy was upfront and did not guarantee success but gave me his opinion based on the facts of the situation. Troy was very responsive during the whole process and clearly explained what information he would need and how it would be used to formulate a response. Troy collaborated with me directly on the drafts of my response package until we both thought it was ready. Shortly after submitting the response package Troy created I received notification that my clearance had been renewed! I firmly believe his expertise was key in receiving a favorable resolution. When it's your career / livelihood on the line and your suddenly thrust into the unknown pending your employment future Troy's experience / expertise will give you the best chance for success. Troy's intimate knowledge on national security law will certainly give you an advantage and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone that finds themselves in a similar situation.

Expertly Handled

I needed help with a clearance issue urgently. Troy was kind enough to find a gap in his schedule to speak with me and give me a game plan explaining what and I needed to do. He helped me organize evidence and craft a response. We were able to make the deadline and I am happy to report we were succes...sful. I cannot thank Troy enough or recommend him more highly.

Exceptional knowledge, professionalism

My case dealt with attaining a security clearance. I had never needed one but decided to change my career path and it required the clearance. I followed Troy's advice as I realized I did not have the knowledge to proceed. He made the process understandable and helped me successfully navigate throu...gh to achieve the clearance, which will help me advance in my career.

NASA Public Trust

Mr. Nussbaum assisted me in preparing a response to questions from the NASA Security Office for me to obtain a Public Trust. He improved my response by adding supporting documents and testimonials from friends regarding my suitability for the Public Trust. The supporting documents were the key to pro...ve my case.

Suspended security clearance

My security clearance was suspended due to alcohol use which the government deemed made me a security risk. I consulted with Troy on several occasions and eventually decided it would be in my best interest to retire. I basically messed up during a psychiatric exam. I wish I would have talked to Troy ...before my evaluation as I shot myself in the foot. I highly recommend Troy and definitely would have hired him to represent me in my appeal if I wasn't retirement eligible.

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."

Administrative law lawyer | Dec 04

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."
