These folks are the best, in my toughest times, they came through for me and were successful in helping me retain my clearance. All the kinds words in the world would not do them justice, if you find yourself in the same situation as me, where retaining a security clearance can help to maintain gainful employment this team can and will fight for you regardless of your circumstances. These people leaving bad reviews must be a competitor or something because this team was nothing short of compassionate when I contacted them
Didn't sounds like a friendly guy over the phone. I read I would get a consultation if I filled out the online form. I filled it out. I got a text message a few days later. I thought we would go over the case but straight up asked if I got his retainer. I guess so much for that consultation. I think he tried to scare me and told me I would lose no matter what. He didn't even hear my case lol how the hell would he even know if he didn't hear about my case? I told him I never received his retainer even. It just didn't seem like the type of law firm I wanted to work with.
Edit: You didn't answer any questions. You flat out said I would lose without hearing my case. That's very poor service. That wasn't a consultation.

Thanks for the input . Glad we spoke and I answered your questions at no cost . Please call if you have any questions.
Yes i am a prior client. name is for internet safety thats important to my family.
Before hiring this firm i was shocked to find 1000s of negative reviews but thought they were too harsh to be true. Gave it a try
100% True. Read all the 1000s of reviews. My experience aligns with many of them.
the reviews are here to help you dont ignore them like i did.
Had a question about the security clearance process. He answered my question quickly and gave me all the information I needed. Definitely recommend if you need help with security clearance issues/questions!
Been trying to call them for my security clearance appeal and i just get passed around. Or “someone will get back with you” and nobody calls. It’s almost 2 years since my appeal and nothing. I’ve been researching and apparently appeals don’t take that long. The original lawyer assigned to me is no where to be contacted. What is going on? How long will it take like 10 years? 😂 if you guys didnt submit my appeal just say so and refund me my money. This is very stressful to just wait around waiting for an explanation. Yes you guys charge a flat rate fee but its also your responsibility to let your client know what’s happening. I dont know the people who left 5 stars here in this law firm are real or fake. I would not waste my money here BEWARE!

Call now 800 481 2526 ; the government should not have taken 2 yrs for a decision.
Very poor service. Zero communication on my case unless I initiate it. Lost the case due to their lack of care and understanding. They only had the desire to take a lump fee and then randomly decide that the client should pay some additional fees, even though the contract for the case was a lump fee only. SHADY AF. There was a response on my case on Jan 26. I inquired on May 1 and was sent an email with information that the case was closed since Jan 26.
The Alan Edmunds Law Firm saved my security clearance and career. Alan, Jacalyn, and team worked hard, were professional, answered my questions, supplied guidance (e.g., Alan, himself, called me several times), and provided a victorious defense against my proposed DOD debarment.
I highly recommend them.
My sincere thanks to Alan, Jacalyn, and team.
As soon as I received a letter about my clearance, I researched several law firms. I got in touch with Mr. Alan Edmunds, and after speaking with him, I knew I wanted him to handle my case. Mr. Edmunds handled my case, and attended my hearing, and I had complete confidence that he was very knowledgeable and experienced in the matter, and therefore ended up with a favorable decision. I worked with other lawyers as well to gather all the necessary documentation, and all the lawyers I worked with were very responsive and thorough. Edmunds law firm helped me keep my job- I would highly recommend this law firm.

Let me first say that anyone who has gone their clearance possibly being revoked will know how painful it can be. Just the thought of losing your livelihood, there are not many words to describe that feeling. I am already a worry wart, so having to deal with this made my worry and anxiety 100x worse. Like many of you, I read so many discussion boards and majority, if not all, advised a lawyer and/or hired a lawyer. I reached out to 2 other law firms prior to hiring The Edmunds Law Firm but the price tag was way too high. When I reached out to The Edmunds Law Firm, their approach when dealing with my response to the SOR was no different the other 2 law firms I contacted. The biggest difference was the price, literally half the cost that was a flat fee, no retainer!
I was a bit skeptical because of the huge price difference. But I thought long and hard so I hired the Edmunds Law Firm. And I am so glad I did. BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!
Brittany was the attorney who assisted me. I had specific questions regarding my case and the military. And although Brittany was not too familiar with the military, she let me speak to another attorney, who had more experience with the military, I forgot his name. But he was extremely helpful and insightful as well. It was a pretty straight forward process, as I had to get all the required documents together and send to Brittany and her team. Once they received everything from me, they worked their magic on my response. Once it was completed, I reviewed the draft and it was sent off.
Of course you have your doubts, and what ifs, and just thoughts of not being reinstated. That will unfortunately come along with this process. But the response Brittany and her team wrote was really strong and I am so grateful to them!! My career has been saved and I cannot think Brittany and The Edmunds Law Firm enough for their professionalism, timeliness, and knowledge through this entire ordeal. If you are ever in a situation regarding your clearance, please contact this law firm, you will not be disappointed!!
