Couldn't Ask for a Better Guide in the Nat. Sec. Process

Troy was instrumental in helping me prepare the best possible packet for my SF-8X process, leading to a favorable result. The whole ordeal is archaic, complicated, and strewn about with a plethora of different rules, regulations, and instructions. It is exceedingly easy to get lost, overwhelmed, or b...oth. Troy was pragmatic, punctual, and a consummate professional. On top of that, compared to many, he is certainly quite reasonable in his rates. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Troy's services, and I would certainly recommend anyone I know to avail themselves of his council in going through the whole SF-8X processes regardless of situation -- the federal government has about a million lawyers, you should have at least one.

Saved my Security Clearance Eligibility & Career

I received an SOR from the DODCAF and required professional help. Troy was the go to person I needed. . Troy gathered the required information, clearly explained the process and quickly prepared the response to the SOR. Thanks to Troy, I was granted my eligibility! Thank you Troy!

Recommendation for Troy Nussbaum

I contacted and hired Troy Nussbaum for legal counsel in 2021 and 2022. Troy Nussbaum provided legal counsel, and helped me prepare for Government clearance reinstatement. With his help I was able to successfully process for a TS/SCI clearance. Troy was good at keeping me vigilant, while not havin...g me feel terrified over the long process. He helped me meticulously prepare for and successfully navigate through some very difficult and uncomfortable situations. I highly recommend Troy Nussbaum for help with your Government security clearance processing.

Success in a hard field

Troy’s expertise was essential to my successful appeal of a problematic decision. His knowledge of the entire process and his ability to pull back the curtain of government’s motivation and methods make his services valuable in every circumstance.

Awesome Lawyer with extensive knowledge of Security Clearances

I hired Troy Nussbaum in 2020 to respond to my Letter of Intent to revoke my security clearance. I spent 4 to 6 hours contacting lawyers to handle my case and Troy was the last lawyer I spoke to. Troy talked to me like I was a person, he was not negative and he explained everything so I could under...stand the process and the possible outcomes. He stayed in contact with me from 2020 -2021 while we were waiting on FOIA requests to gather all of my evidence. I submitted my SOR in the Fall of 2021 and within one month my clearance was adjudicated favorable up to TS/SCI. Troy was professional and courteous throughout the process and did not make me feel like an outcast. I highly recommend Troy to everyone for any security clearance issues.

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."

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."
