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.

Security Clearance Adjudication

I contacted Mr. Troy Nussbaum when I needed legal assistance with a government security clearance issue. He did an amazing job informing me of what all the situation entails, worked out a reasonable payment plan, and course of action for my situation. He gather all needed documentation, researched ...case law specific to my situation, and helped me through the review board. He was very knowledgeable and professional at all times, especially during the review board. My life would be something much different right now if I would not have reached out to Troy and his firm and I am very grateful for his assistance. I would recommend Troy to anyone that is having government security clearance issues. Great attorney and great law firm.

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.

NSA Clearence

Mr. Nausbaum did an excellent job. He is very knowledgeable and immediately I knew that he had all the information I was not privy to when fighting my appeal. Most importantly he made himself available along every step of the process. Working with him I was confident I had a fighting chance. What als...o helps is that he is a straight shooter who will give you open and honest feedback.

Troy is professional, knowledgeable, and responsive... 100% recommend.

I recently had to navigate an especially thorny SOR wherein issues had persisted from a previous determination (where another Law Firm didn't do due diligence). Troy quickly assessed the situation and formulated a plan to resolve the issues once and for all. Throughout the entire process, Troy was ...always there to help me through the process and answer questions. He was extraordinarily thorough in handling my case, making sure everything was taken care of; not only to successfully adjudicate my clearance but resolve the underlying issues as well. During my time as his client, I came to rely on Troy as a consummate professional who's invested in getting the best possible outcome. I would retain him again and highly recommend him to anyone trying to deal with security clearance issues.

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."
