Amazing service

Troy is a great lawyer. He was extremely personable from the moment we spoke and put me at ease throughout the case. His communication was always great and I felt confident going to court with him by my side. Initially I had no hope but he not only gave me hope, he won my case! Im very grateful to ha...ve met him and will definitely use him in the future if needed and 100% recommend him to all.

Securing Secret Clearance for DoD Employee

Troy Nussbaum succeeded in securing a clearance for me despite the obstacles that presented themselves before me before meeting with Troy. It would have been impossible to get a clearance on my own and without his help. Another lawyer had looked at my case, thought that it was impossible to secure my... clearance, and there was nothing we could do, but he forwarded me to Troy Nussbaum. Troy looked at my case, was confident in his abilities, gave me an action plan as well as sound advise along the process, and did exactly what he said he was going to do on his end. To make a long story short, thanks to him, my clearance was granted without any obstacle whatsoever.

Money Well Spent

Troy went above and beyond in his defense of my security clearance, and while the results didn’t go our way, I have no doubt he did everything he could. His meticulous research and lines of strategy were far and away better than anything I could have come up with on my own, and his frank and accurate... assessment of our challenges prevented me from being blindsided throughout the opaque, bureaucratic nature of the adjudication process.

SOR Response

I contacted Troy in August and I was hesitant to hire a lawyer because I am a half decent writer. However, when I saw Troy's write up, I was very impressed. He wrote my SOR response in a legal format which I couldn't have imagined being a requirement. His office approached my case personally and h...elped me with love and kindness as a priority. If you've made it to an SOR, you probably hadn't done things right up until this point, regardless of how honest and/or good of a job you had done on previous documents; LOR, appeal, grievance, and/or your clearance interview. I recommend getting a lawyer and Troy is top notch! While no lawyer can guarantee a positive outcome, I know that my positive outcome was attributed to the excellent format in which Troy organized my submittal. Thank you Troy! It was a pleasure working with you; especially with the hands on back and forth your office provided prior to submittal.

Troy is a Weapon of (DoD) CAF-Destruction

I reached out to Troy to help with me a security clearance case. Immediately, I felt comfortable I was making the right choice. Troy briefed me on his relevant experience, reviewed my paperwork, heard my story, and provided honest feedback. I think what was most appealing was that he was candid in co...nveying the outcome may not be favorable- I still chose to hire him to help me prepare a response to the federal government, confident that his experience would give me the strongest chance possible. Our exchanges were few but at no point did he ever leave me hanging wondering what the next steps were. He provided me with clear instructions, while he was working furiously behind the scenes, so that we could expediently make progress with a fairly tight timeline. The final outcome of my case was favorable to me, to which I attribute to Troy's professionalism and experience. He was a pleasure to work with and I will recommend him to anyone that finds themselves even remotely in a situation such as myself. Thanks, Troy!

"Mr. Nussbaum and I had a mutual client who needed a modification of his probation in order to maintain a security clearance for his employer. Mr. Nussbaum provided detailed documentation in support of the modification that displayed his thorough knowledge of security clearance matters.

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."
