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.

Helpful, Compassionate, and Sharp

Troy Nussbaum was extremely helpful and insightful; he was able to understand my situation, as well as explain my options. He was also kind. However, do not be fooled... Troy is a sharp, competent, and truly confidence inspiring attorney. I highly recommend Troy Nussbaum.

BEST Attorney for any Security Clearance Issues

I had been notified by the DoD CAF that they denied my Security Clearance due to financial debts that I had. I googled Security Clearance attorneys and came upon Troy. He had great reviews, reasonably priced, and close by so I decided to contact him. When I met with Troy he didn't promise anything... but that he would work hard for me and my situation. Sure enough, he definitely delivered! Troy is very knowledgeable, SO down-to-earth, not judgmental, and does everything in his power to put together paperwork showing proof of what caused my burden, making payment plans with debtors, and to address the fact that this won't be happening again in the future. Just the other day I received notice from my Security POC that I was granted my SECRET Clearance!!!!! I am SOOOO humbled and thankful to have trusted Troy to help me. I have referred him to another employee who needed his assistance and again, another VICTORY for my coworker as well. I highly recommend Troy for any Security Clearance Issues. He is more than wonderful!! The front desk office is so friendly as well. They have reasonable payment plans and work with you on that.

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.

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."
