Mr. Nussbaum is very knowledgeable re security clearance issues

I recently had a consultation with Mr. Nussbaum, and found him extremely knowledgeable with a wealth of experience re obtaining security clearance and any potential issues that may arise. I highly recommend him.

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.

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.

A Maryalnd Attorney Genuinely Commited To His Clients

Mr. Troy Nussbaum is a highly skilled and motivated attorney with an exceptional history in working with cases related to security clearance revocations, denials and appeals. Mr. Nussbaum possesses an impressive knowledge of the laws and regulations regarding such cases, traits that I found to be unm...atched when conducting my personal search for a reputable, reliable attorney. From my first consultation with Mr. Nussbaum, he provided his immediate and thorough attention to my case which gave me ease of mind in knowing that my case was being managed by a professional. Throughout the process of my case, Mr. Nussbaum provided me with frequent updates concerning the status of my case and took the time in explaining every detail and in lamens terms. Mr. Nussbaum also made himself available when I did have new questions or concerns regarding my case; a quality that you will find hard if not impossible to ascertain in other attorneys. Due to the competent and metculous effort given by Mr. Nussbaum, my TS/SCI SOR was determined in my favor and to its full capacity. I strongly advise anyone experiencing issues or concerns regarding security clearances to consult with Mr. Nussbaum, an attorney who is committed to excellence. Again, his remarkable records in dealing with cases as such speaks for itself.

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."
