Much to our client’s shock and disappointment, she learned that her husband suffered from severe alcoholism and had fallen far behind on debt repayments. He had hidden his alcoholism from her for many years, and as a result of his condition he became very lackadaisical with the household finances.

Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. Although our client is a model citizen and a man of integrity, he made a poor choice in a moment of despair but never imagined the impact that it could have on his security clearance.

Our client was born as the eldest of two children to a single mother. This forced our client to grow up quickly, acting as “man of the house” in his father’s absence. This instilled a sense of responsibility and loyalty in our client from an early age, encouraging him to be honest and hardworking. He excelled academically throughout high school while simultaneously working a part-time job to help support his mother financially.

During his junior year of high school, our client joined the U.S. Army Reserves and quickly became platoon leader despite being the youngest enlistee in training. After high school, our client enlisted for active duty in the U.S. Army. Throughout his military career, our client proved himself as an asset to his country and rose to the rank of Sergeant, a role which his innate leadership allowed him to take the challenge head-on.

Upon his Honorable discharge from the Army, our client moved to Washington DC and pursed a post- secondary degree. During his time in college, he worked the night-shift as a security guard. When he graduated with his degree in Cyber Security, he accepted a position with the Navy working to create advancements in technology with his team at NAVSEA.

In 2013, the unthinkable occurred when a shooting occurred at the Washington Naval Yard and five of our client’s team members were killed. This tragedy shook our client deeply, traumatizing him emotionally. On the anniversary of the shooting, our client smoked marijuana with a friend to help him cope with the tragedy that occurred. He made the same mistake again when he learned that his wife of 16 years wanted a divorce.

These two isolated incidents prompted the government to issue our client a Statement of Reasons due to his mistakes, questioning his ability to protect classified information on the basis of the allegations. Our client was heartbroken as he is not a marijuana user and has demonstrated his loyalty to the United States throughout his entire life.

When our client found the Edmunds Law Firm, he knew he was in good hands. The team at the Edmunds Law Firm provided a written Response to SOR coupled with several strong exhibits, showing that the government’s allegations were unwarranted and that our client was more than deserving of access to classified information.

After years of military service and a long career assisting the United States at a large information technology consulting firm, our client proved himself to be nothing but a loyal, hardworking citizen. Throughout his career, our client has been the recipient of many awards and promotions, providing outstanding performance in every aspect of his work.

When our client started his job at the consulting firm, it was a small company of about only 75 employees. Our client’s work helped to build the company to a large firm of over 500 employees. As our client did not have a computer at home, he used his work computer for both personal and professional responsibilities. This was not against company policy and his managers were fully aware of the nature of his computer usage.

When our client’s time at his workplace came to an end fifteen years later, he downloaded all of his personal documents from the computer onto a hard drive before returning the computer to the company so another employee would be able to use it. Our client, who thought he was in full compliance with all rules and regulations, was shocked when he was accused of misusing information technology and mishandling protected information.

When our client was issued a Statement of Reasons alleging these things under Guideline K and Guideline M, he could not comprehend why the government was questioning him over innocent actions that were carried out in good faith. Our client was frustrated, especially given his long history of loyal service to the United States.

Aware that he could not face this battle alone, our client retained the Edmunds Law Firm, home to the best security clearance attorney in the country, to assist him with his case. The firm drafted a written Response to SOR, respectfully explaining our client’s side of the story and demonstrating his innocence and ability to protect classified information. Because of our client’s choice to hire the Edmunds Law Firm, he was able to prove the government wrong and keep his security clearance.

Don’t let unwarranted accusations stand in the way of your future. Dial 800.481.2526 today to find out how we can help you get your career back on track.

Our client has led a colorful life of many successes and achievements. He has demonstrated himself to be an honest, hardworking, loyal citizen of the United States. His career, personal, and academic achievements are outstanding and plentiful. Our client has always abided by U.S. law and has never put classified information in jeopardy. For this reason, our client was shocked when he received a Statement of Reasons from the government questioning his worthiness of a security clearance over financial issues that were going on in our client’s life at the time.

Our client is a native Floridian but has traveled the world for work. He has a PHD in Organization and Management along with two Master’s Degrees in Computer Science and Computer Information Systems. He has authored five books and has presented multiple times as a speaker on topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, and International Business.

Our client’s love of the United States inspired him to seek work at MacDill Air Force Base as a contractor teaching technical courses in Joint Communications. Our client sought to further provide himself as an asset to the United States through federal employment but hit a bump in the road when he received his Statement of Reasons.

Several years ago, our client lost a position of high-paying employment through no fault of his own. During this period of unemployment, our client racked up some debts and was forced to file for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Despite his financial hardships, our client was able to find new employment and begin paying off his debts. Despite his dedication, the government still questioned his suitability for a security clearance.

Our client found the Edmunds Law Firm in his time of need to provide him with a Response to SOR in attempt to mitigate the Department of Defense’s concerns about his financial situation. Despite providing a slew of evidence that our client was repaying his debts, this was not enough. The government forced our client to appear before DOHA to prove his worthiness of access to classified information.

Luckily, our client did not have to stand alone. With the Edmunds Law Firm by his side, our client was able to find success after his hearing and he was granted the security clearance that he very much deserved.

Don’t allow the government to push you around over a financial situation that is out of your control. Call 800.481.2526 today so we can begin the process of helping you obtain a security clearance.

Our client never imagined that simply having distant relatives residing outside the United States would cause the Department of Defense to question his worthiness of a security clearance.

When our client was given a job offer by a prestigious defense contractor as an engineer, he applied for the required security clearance and was devastated to receive a Statement of Reasons questioning his worthiness of a security clearance on the basis of Guideline B: Foreign Influence. Because our client has in-laws in Taiwan, the Department of Defense cited concerns with foreign influence and did not grant him a security clearance. Our client provided the government with a written response which failed to mitigate the concerns listed in the SOR, leaving our client at a loss. Thankfully, our client acted quickly and sought help from the Edmunds Law Firm where the best security clearance attorney in the country, Alan V.

Our client has never once fraudulently logged her time, and the former employer never said anything about it to her while she was employed with them.

The Edmunds Law Firm received Notice of a favorable decision following a formal Hearing on a national security clearance case that was heard in Arlington, VA. What makes this case so special is that the applicant tried to do the Hearing herself. After the Hearing was completed she felt terrible with her performance in the courtroom and asked  Attorney Alan Edmunds to reopen the case and furnish evidence she had missed. She also requested Attorney Edmunds to make written closing arguments.

Alan Edmunds quickly made a written request to re-open the Hearing which the judge granted. Evidence was gathered and a closing argument was drafted and submitted to the court.

The facts are interesting.  The Applicant is  a 50-year-old , married female who came to the United States from Bangladesh. She  had received money from her family and had visited Bangladesh on an infrequent basis due to a health problem with her father. The government also raised a concern with a property she had in Bangladesh where her elderly father lived.

The Edmunds Law Firm received Notice of a favorable decision following a contested Security Clearance Hearing that was held in Memphis Tn. The case involved allegations of Personal Conduct – failure to provide honest answers to drug use within the past 7 years and failure to provide honest answers on the EQUIP …

“Have you EVER used drugs.”

The Applicant was represented by Attorney Mark Meyers for The Edmunds Law Firm. Attorney Myers is retired military and also helps clients in the area of MSPB, The applicant had used marijuana several years ago. The government had alleged that she  had also failed to disclose other drug use in her life on the SF 86.

What was interesting about this case is that the Applicant had initially waived her right to a Hearing. This is a major mistake that people make according to Attorney Edmunds. Alan Edmunds is this country’s leading Security Clearance Lawyer. The Edmunds Law Firm immediately contacted the Chief Judge and requested a Formal Security Clearance Hearing.

Attorney Myers showed the Applicant had had a Clearance for the last ten years without any incidents. Applicant testified that she met a man who was a bad influence. He asked her to try marijuana which she did. At the Hearing she testified that she was no longer dating that individual.  Attorney  Myers argued the whole person concept”. He also introduced numerous exhibits that  mitigated the government concerns. The judge accepted Attorney Myers arguments and granted the Clearance.

Applicant traveled the world with the Army, earning several medals and recognitions along the way such as the Good Conduct Medal, the Overseas Service Ribbon, and the Army Commendation Medal, and more.

Who would think that something as minor as situational anxiety would threaten a security clearance?

Our client’s love and passion for the United States started early in his life as he began serving our country through the Army Reserves upon his high school graduation. Our client has been deployed in Iraq and has been assigned to seven (7) units, Combat Support Hospital, four (4) Civil Affairs, a Military Intelligence Unit, and the Medical Readiness Training Command. He has completed multiple training courses and is currently a team sergeant and Non-Medical Commissioned Officer (NCO). Our client has spent most of his life serving the United States day in and day out, proving himself to be nothing but a hardworking, dedicated and trustworthy individual.

When our client went through a tragic divorce from an unfaithful spouse during college, he was put on anti-depressants to help him manage the situational stress and anxiety surrounding the event. Despite his hardships, our client handled the separation remarkably well and continued to thrive, even starting a new relationship in the process of his divorce. Our client was shocked to receive a Statement of Reasons citing concerns for his anxiety and his for having a relationship while still married – even though his new relationship began well after he was separated from his first wife.

Our client quickly retained the Edmunds Law Firm. With over 41 years of experience, Attorney Alan Edmunds and his team were able to lead our client to the victory he deserved through a Response to Statement of Reasons.

False allegations can not only destroy one’s reputation, but also one’s career.

Our client was raised in North Carolina. Our client was brought up by loving parents who raised him in church, instilling a faith in our client from a young age. When our client completed high school, he took a summer job in Denali, Alaska working in a lodge for Princess Cruises. During his time in Alaska, our client was introduced to many military members and veterans who were vacationing. This inspired our client to join the United States Air Force when he returned to North Carolina after that summer. Our client enlisted as a Combat Control candidate and spent an intensive two and a half years in a special operations pipeline being trained on communications and maintenance, demolitions, airborne operations, underwater operations, assault zones, and was certified as an air traffic controller.

Upon graduation, our client was assigned to the 22nd Special Tactics Squadron (STS) where he received numerous upgraded titles including Rope Master and Cast Master, along with completing two combat deployments and receiving bronze stars – the fourth highest achievement in a warzone – for both. Applicant was the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions and was promoted to the rank of E-5 after just five years of military service.

It is clear that our client is a trustworthy, hardworking individual who loves the United States and takes his security clearance very seriously. Unfortunately, our client found himself in circumstances that were out of his control and it almost cost him his career.

Our client went out with his two roommates one evening for a few drinks shortly after he separated from his spouse. While they were out, our client and his roommates were introduced to three females who all returned to our client’s home with our client and his roommates. The group continued to socialize and drink at the home and the women decided to stay overnight. The next morning, one of the females accused our client of sexual assault. Despite both the woman’s friends and our client’s friends checking up on the pair throughout the night and reporting no signs of any unusual activity, our client was accused of sexual assault.

As an honorable, trustworthy man, our client was shocked to learn of these allegations. Our client would never do such a thing and was devastated by these false allegations. Shortly after these allegations were made, our client was confronted by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) who questioned him about the allegations. Despite his innocence, our client was eventually charged with sexual assault and making a false statement. The charges were referred to an Article 32 hearing where the complainant’s testimony was found to be inconsistent with her previous statements to OSI and the Article 32 hearing officer raised doubts about the complainant’s veracity or recollection of events. Applicant submitted a request to be discharged in lieu of trial by court martial and was discharged from the Air Force in 2015.

When our client received a Statement of Reasons from the Department of Defense, he responded to it himself and the writing failed to mitigate the government’s concerns. Desperate for help, our client decided to work with the best security clearance in the country at The Edmunds Law Firm for his hearing before DOHA. Attorney Edmunds and his team worked alongside our client to prepare for the hearing. At the hearing, the Edmunds Law Firm fought for our client, proving his innocence and worthiness of a security clearance, leading him to a favorable decision from the government.

Do not let false allegations stand in the way of your security clearance eligibility. Call the Edmunds Law Firm today at 800.481.2526 to find out how we can help you get your career back on track.

Our client was shocked when he was stripped of his ICE firearms and credentials after an unlawful arrest. Luckily, with the help of the Edmunds Law Firm, he was able to get his career back on track.

Our client, a Deportation Officer for ICE, has served the United States loyally for many years. He has proven himself to be a dedicated, hardworking individual who is completely trustworthy. Taking all of this into consideration, our client was surprised to have his credentials stripped after an incident that was completely out of his control.

One Sunday evening our client was driving in New York with a friend when the pair noticed an individual walking on the street who appeared to be confused and under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Being the caring individual that he is, our client rolled down his window and approached to check up on the young woman, who appeared to be between the ages of 15 and 23.  When our client asked if she was okay, the woman did not reply. Our client then disclosed his credentials as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer so that the woman would understand he was simply trying to help her. The woman informed him that she was fine, and our client continued on his drive, thinking nothing of the situation.

A short time later, while our client was still on the road, he noticed a police car following him. The officer did not attempt to pull him over, but turned on his red lights and slowed down, staring at our client. Our client thought that the police might have been looking for him surrounding the incident with the woman that happened earlier that evening. Our client rolled down his window to see if the officer was looking for his vehicle to explain the earlier situation. Our client showed the officer three forms of ID and asked the officer for the whereabouts of the nearest police station so he could discuss the incident with a high-ranking official. Our client went on his way to the police station, but on the way, the same officer attempted to pull him over. Our client was very close to the police station at that time, so he pulled into the station with the office following. The officer stated that our client was told to stop, and he didn’t, but our client respectfully disagreed with the officer.

Our client entered into the police station and while he was waiting to speak with high-ranking officials about the incident, he was continually harassed by the aforementioned officer who made comments about his position as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer. The Sergeant on duty came out and attempted to diffuse the situation, but when the Lieutenant came out, he placed our client in handcuffs and took his firearm as if he were a criminal.

The arrest was unlawful, and our client was not properly detained. Our client’s firearms and credentials were taken away and he was forced into an interview room where he was held for 30-40 minutes before the handcuffs were finally removed. When our client was finally released, he immediately contacted his supervisor about the incident and explained it to him in full detail.

Our client attempted to be a good Samaritan and was placed into a very unfortunate situation because of his kind heart. Shortly after the incident, our client received a Notice of Suspension of Firearms and Credentials from ICE. Our client was stirred when he received this notice, but he quickly retained the Edmunds Law Firm to help him resolve his matter.

With the assistance of Alan Edmunds, the best security clearance attorney in the country, and his team, our client was led to victory through a written response to the notice. Attorney Edmunds and his team were able to show ICE our client’s true intentions and demonstrate his character of high morals, dedication and loyalty.

Don’t let an unlawful arrest stand in the way of your career. Call 800.481.2526 to reach the Edmunds Law Firm and find out how we can help you get your life back on track.

Getting a higher education can be a burden thanks to student loans. This is something a large percentage of us understand. Can having student loan debt really cost your security clearance, though?

One of our clients was recently facing exactly that! He was born in Texas and grew up in a family filled with military service. He never had the opportunity to serve himself, but he grew up with a strong sense of loyalty to his country. He began working for the Air Force as soon as he could, dedicating his career to his country. Because of his work, he was able to work and while earning a higher education, something he never thought he would have the opportunity to do. After graduating with his Associate’s degree in computer science, our client has begun working toward his Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology. He is married and has three children along with a career he loves. Nothing could go wrong, right?

That’s where he was wrong. He was working and living off a US Air Base in Japan when he was served with a Statement of Reasons with Guideline E and Guideline F violations. After over ten years of civil service and government contracting, he was suddenly at risk of losing his security clearance because of unpaid student loans and for being honest about them on his SF-86. He was on an Air Force base, in another country, and abruptly having his security clearance revoked!

With no ideas on what to do or where to go, he hopped online and sought out help. That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm. With over forty years of security clearance experience and offices from coast to coast, Attorney Alan Edmunds knew exactly what to do for our client’s response to SOR. It didn’t take long for the team at the Edmunds Law Firm to show that our client was paying back his debts and that he was one of the last people who would be a threat to national security. When faced with all the proof, the government had no choice but to grant his security clearance.

Don’t let your debt cost your career. Call 800.481.2526 today to keep your security clearance!

Our client was born in the state of Georgia in 1989. Despite her parents divorcing when she was 12, our client was an outstanding student, excelling in all her endeavors. Our client participated in many school clubs such as the National Honor Society, La Serota and Mu Alpha Theta, a mathematics club. She graduated in the top 15 of her class of 500 with a 6.24 weighted GPA. Our client attended Florida State University with a full scholarship through Bright Futures where she pursued a double major in Political Science and Applied Mathematics and a minor in Sociology as she entered college with 40 credit hours already under her belt. Upon her graduation from Florida State University, our client was accepted to Pennsylvania State law school to continue her education, but she decided to move on to other aspirations.

In 2012, our client was given the opportunity to travel to South Korea to teach English to children aged 3-13. She arrived in South Korea in November 2012 without knowing any of the language and taught 6-8 classes per day. Our client returned to the United States at the end of the term to pursue her master’s degree from the Institute of World Politics.

Despite our client’s outstanding educational successes and love for her country, the government issued her a Statement of Reasons with violations under Guideline D, Sexual Conduct for the consumption of pornography. Despite the fact that our client’s use of said material in no way affected her ability to protect classified material, it was still cited as a concern in the Statement of Reasons. The Statement of Reasons also included violations under Guideline J, Criminal Conduct for assisting a friend in obtaining marijuana by putting her in touch with an individual whom our client thought might sell some of the drug to her friend. The client’s alleged Criminal Conduct behaviors did not take place while she held a security clearance, nor was in the process of obtaining one at the time.

Our client retained the Edmunds Law Firm to assist her in the matter of responding to her Statement of Reasons. One of the best security clearance lawyers in the country, Attorney Ryan C. Nerney, prepared the response on our client’s behalf, gathering all the evidence he needed to demonstrate that our client was worthy of a security clearance. Upon the government’s receipt and review of the response to the Statement of Reasons, they decided to overturn their denial and grant our client the security clearance she deserved.

If your security clearance is in jeopardy, do not wait to contact The Edmunds Law Firm today at 800.481.2526.

We all have issues and make mistakes when we are young, but most of us are able to move past these things. For our client, a few minor issues in his youth almost cost him his security clearance.

Our client was born on Torrejon Air Force base in Madrid, Spain. His father was an F-16 pilot who flied missions in support of Operation Desert Storm. Our client moved back to the United States with his family at a young age and was raised in the state of Kansas, excelling in science and math. As a child, our client loved to teach himself about computers and software. Following in the footsteps of many of his family members, our client decided to join the US Navy when he finished school.

Despite his years of loyal service to the military, our client’s worthiness of security clearance was recently called into question by the government.

In his early twenties, our client struggled with anxiety and depression, issues that many people around the world, particularly young adults, face. These issues, in addition to an incident involving computer misuse that took place while our client was in high school, were cited as causes for concern by the government under Guideline I, Guideline J, and Guideline M.

Our client wanted to prove the government wrong and show them that these minor incidents do not reflect his true character. Our client retained the Edmunds Law Firm to represent him at his DOHA Hearing. Attorney Mark Myers, an attorney with the best security clearance lawyer in the country, lead our client to victory at his hearing, saving our client’s career and future from being destroyed over minor issues that occurred in many years ago.

Honesty should always be the best policy, especially when it comes to having a security clearance and filling out those SF-86s. But can answering honestly on an SF-86 cause you to lose your security clearance? Not if Attorney Edmunds can help it!

One of our clients grew up in a family with a legacy of military service, and he wanted more than anything to follow in their footsteps. He joined JAROTC for the second half of his high school career, and at 18 years old, he enlisted in the US Navy and left his home in Guam in 1982. Throughout his military career, our client worked hard and grew into a mature, well-rounded professional as he underwent several deployments and was stationed on various duty stations. He excelled in the Navy, earning many awards and medals for his service as well as serving during the Gulf War in Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, and Enduring Freedom. Our client served in the US Navy for over twenty-four years before retiring with an honorable discharge. Even after his years of service, he took a position working for the government as a civilian contractor. He held this position for over eleven years and continues to work there today.

Imagine our client’s surprise when some of his past mistakes came back to haunt him. Some of these incidents were over 20 years old, but he was still being issued a Statement of Reasons for Guideline D (sexual behavior), Guideline E (personal conduct), and Guideline J (criminal conduct) allegations. They were going to revoke his security clearance! Most of the allegations were just repetitions of each other in an attempts to make our client seem like a horrible person. He didn’t know how to put into words that a good portion of the allegations were misunderstandings or being blown out of proportion.

At a loss for what he could do, he sought out help with his Response to SOR and found the Edmunds Law Firm. With the help of the country’s best security clearance attorney and his team, our client was able to provide a Response to SOR that explained every circumstance and reminded the government of his many years of service. The government was left with little choice but togrant his security clearance.

The past can haunt you, but if you call 800.481.2526 you can learn how we put it to rest.

Many people can’t help who they fall in love with, but can the government threaten your security clearance because of this?

A recent client of ours had his security clearance threatened because he had met the love of his life. Our client was born in Connecticut but grew up in New York. When he graduated high school, he attended Pennsylvania State University where he was enlisted in the Naval Reserve Training Corps. Immediately after he earned his Bachelor’s degree, he joined the US Navy. He was a part of many naval exercises and deployed twice. During his seven years in the Navy, he earned his Master’s degree and began to make a name for himself in engineering. In 2007, he left active duty to begin his contracting career. Our client was fueled by his desire to learn and earned another Master’s dress in business. Things were going wonderfully when he enrolled in an online Pen Pal program to learn Russian while also helping another person learn English. This is how he met the love of his life. They were in love and began working to get her immigration processed. That’s when our client was involuntarily deployed for a year as he was still in the Reserves. He served loyally despite having to leave his now-wife to continue the immigration process from Russia with their child on the way. He is currently at home with his beautiful and loving family, and he continues to serve his country to the best of his ability.

With such a beautiful story of two people meeting by chance and having to overcome many obstacles along the way, what could keep them from having a happily ever after? That’s when the government tried to revoke his security clearance with a Statement of Reasons with several Guideline B allegations for his supposed foreign influence. They were using his wife’s country of origin against him despite the fact that he had been actively serving his country through contracting work and deployment.

That’s when he came to the Edmunds Law Firm for help on his Response to SOR. With over forty years of security clearance experience, Attorney Edmunds and his team have seen it all, and we were able to prove that our client’s loyalty was unwavering. With our help, our client’s security clearance was granted.

Call 800.481.2526 to find out how you can have your happy ending.

Almost everyone has been fired from a job at some point in their life. For our client, a few simple job terminations almost cost her security clearance.

Our client, a single mother from the state of Maryland, works hard to provide for her children. She strives to make sure her children have everything they need and that she is there for them at all times, despite having to do it alone. As a single mother, our client struggled to make room in her schedule for every task she had to take care of, resulting in a few absences and tardies at work. These instances resulted in our client being terminated from a few different work positions.

Due to her terminations, the government questioned our client’s worthiness of a security clearance and issued her a Statement of Reasons with allegations under Guideline E, Personal Conduct. Our client worked hard to draft a response to the SOR, but her response was not enough to satisfy the government’s concerns.

Our client decided to take the weight off her shoulders by hiring the Edmunds Law Firm, led by one of the best security clearance lawyers in the country to represent her at her DOHA hearing. After the Edmunds Law Firm represented our client at her hearing, the government had no choice but to realize our client’s integrity and reinstate her security clearance, saving the futures of our hardworking client and her children.

Don’t let your security clearance be jeopardized by getting fired from a job. Call the Edmunds Law Firm today at 800.481.2526 so Attorney Edmunds and his team can help you get the security clearance you deserve.

One of our clients found himself unable to pay back his home loan for a very short amount of time. He had an adjustable loan, but when the payments rose, he had to apply for another loan. Unfortunately, he could not get the second loan as his income was technically too high for him to qualify for that loan. When he reached out to the company that owned his home loan, they refused to work with him and raised the payments again. Desperate to not fall into an insurmountable debt, our client was force to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. During this process, the home loan company finally worked with him, and his bankruptcy was later dismissed. Our client was able to get his life back on track.

At least, that’s what he was hoping for when the government sent out Interrogatories and another Request for Information based on this unfortunate incident. Many people are not fully aware of what these two types of documents are and believe them to be harmless. It’s just the government asking some questions, right? Actually, this is more of a probing for information that could lead to them getting just enough information to issue a Statement of Reasons which could put your security clearance in jeopardy!

Our client recognized the Interrogatories and the follow up Request for Information as something that he did not want to handle on his own, so he sought out help. That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm. With over forty years of security clearance experience, Attorney Alan Edmunds and his team were able to provide the right documentation and the right answers to put any questions the government may have held to bed.

We can overcome many obstacles and come out stronger on the other side. We always try to tell ourselves that things could be worse, but sometimes things do get worse. That’s why theEdmunds Law Firm is here to help.

Our client was born and raised in Washington, DC the oldest of four children. He was raised by a single mother who raised him in the church. She worked hard to make sure each of her children felt that they could accomplish anything they put their minds to and that they knew the importance of religion in their lives. Our client’s mother worked several jobs while attending college to help provide for her family, a work ethic that our client learned well. Unfortunately, when our client was 22, his mother passed away from breast cancer and he was left to pick up the pieces for his younger siblings. He followed his mother’s influence and began working hard in a warehouse position while putting himself through school for Information Technology. He worked several jobs in the IT field before he was able to find a wonderful position in cyber security. In 2001, our client married his wife, immediately becoming a family with her three daughters and his youngest sister all living under one roof. In 2004, his wife give birth to their daughter prematurely, and several months went by before they were able to bring her home. Even then, their baby had to undergo several surgeries which resulted in many medical bills that could not be immediately satisfied. Despite all of this, our client was able to maintain his household and support his family while continuously serving his country.

With all these odds against him, you would think he would be cut a little slack. Instead, the government issued a Statement of Reasons with three Guideline F violations from three tax years where he either was unable to file immediately or could not file at all. He knew his reasons for not attending to these debts, so he knew he would be able to explain it all. He wrote up his own Response to SOR and sent it in with the hopes that he would be able to continue the career he needed to support his wonderful family. That’s when the government decided todeny his security clearance.

With nowhere else to go, our client sought out help for his hearing. With over forty years of experience in security clearance matters, Attorney Edmunds was our client’s best bet for his security clearance to be granted. With the best security clearance attorney at his side, that’s exactly what happened, and our client was able to return to his career and his beautiful family.

Sometimes we can show absolute loyalty to the government, and they will still doubt it. This could cost your security clearance!

Our client was born in Iraq as the oldest of his parents’ seven children. His family moved to Kuwait City in the early 1960’s in order to find better opportunities. In 1990, though, the Iraqi army invaded Kuwait and the lives our client’s family had built were ruined. Our client had to drop out of college, despite having a promising future in law school, so he could help support his younger siblings and his parents as they were forced back into Iraq. He worked as a taxi driver to earn money as his father had lost his job in the Kuwait police force. In 2003, when the liberation war was beginning, our client went straight to the nearest American Army base to offer his services as a translator. He came to American not long after that to become a citizen. Around 2012, his father unfortunately passed away from a heart attack, and he was unable to return to Iraq for the funeral. In spite of all the hardships he has faced, our client showed nothing but unwavering loyalty to the American government and continues to serve the country he calls home.

When it was time for our client to advance in his career and have a security clearance, he was denied. When with all his service in Iraq, he was served with a Statement of Reasons with Guideline B allegations all because still he had some relatives in Iraq. Most of his family had stayed behind, after all, so of course he had family there. Not knowing what to do, he sought out help from the Edmunds Law Firm where we worked with him to create his Response to SOR. Even though it was honest and proved that his family was never going to be a threat to national security, the government still denied his security clearance.

Thankfully, he stuck with us for his hearing where Attorney Edmunds took over. With over forty years of security clearance experience, Mr. Edmunds is regarded as a subject matter expert. When he stepped into the courtroom with our client, there was little more that could be done by the government other than grant his security clearance.

We have all experienced financial hardships. Whether they were small or insurmountable, most people have been in debt at one point or another. Can being in debt really destroy your career, though?

Our client underwent some financial woes when he had to move from one job to another… from Germany to California. California was the state he was born and raised in. His father was from the Philippines and served in the US Navy. When our client was only five, his father passed away in active duty. With the loss of his father so early in life, he felt a little lost. He dropped out of high school and got married ten days before his first son was born. He worked hard to support his family and earned his GED before attending college for a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Our client wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, though, so after a few years of hard work and schooling, he joined the US Air Force at the age of 22 where he was an Aerospace Maintenance Journeyman and an aircraft mechanic. He was immediately stationed in Japan for the next five years. His interested was piqued, however, by the rapidly growing IT field, and he began taking some classes before he was Honorably Discharged after ten years of service in the Air Force. A month later was the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks. In 2010, our client was done with his certifications and secured a job in IT in Afghanistan. Around that time, his wife told him not to come home, so our client took various positions with contractors from Cuba to Germany. In 2013, our client decided to marry his girlfriend and bring her and his step-son with him to Germany. While he was in Germany, he wound up in the hospital with a severe illness that put him in a three week coma which subsequently caused him to fall behind on some of his payments, but once he came back stateside, he started getting his finances back in order.

A long history of loyalty and service to the United States apparently wasn’t enough as our client was served with a Statement of Reasons for Guideline F violations due to his debts. He was out of his depth and overwhelmed with how he was meant to advance his career and support his family when the debts were caused by things that were completely out of his control. Could they really deny his security clearance over all of that? He reached out to the Edmunds Law Firm for answers. We helped him draft his Response to SOR explaining the circumstances surrounding his debts and even pointing out that several of the accounts had been paid off or settled. Even after giving them this information, the government still wanted to ignore our client’s years of amazing service!

Thankfully, he stuck with us for his hearing where Attorney Ryan Nerney, one of the lawyers with the best security clearance attorney in the country, led him to victory. After meeting our client and seeing all the evidence that he was taking care of his finances, the government didn’t have a choice but to grant his security clearance.

If your years of dedication are being tossed away because of some debt, call the Edmunds Law Firm at 800.481.2526 today.

We’ve all gone to a website we may not have meant to. Or maybe we ended up on one that didn’t look its best. Those website are easy to fly under our radar, and we might have a virus or malware before we even realize what is going on. Can the action of some internet troll have real-life consequences for you, though? Not if the Edmunds Law Firm is here to help!

A recent client of ours was born in Pakistan and immigrated to the United States at the age of 16. He and his family were seeking out better opportunities and the freedom the US has to offer. After settling in Maryland, our client became studious, working hard to support himself and help his family throughout college until he earned his Master’s Degree from John Hopkins University. He began working as direct support for several government agencies, helping I the development of new policies, standards, and procedures for information security. He has received many excellence awards over his career and has even settled down with a lovely wife. They have two children together. Unfortunately, in 2009, he made a mistake while at work when he tried to listen to some music on his laptop. The website he went to apparently wasn’t one with a great reputation, and malware was installed on the laptop. Instead of trying to cover up his tracks, our client immediately self-reported, despite knowing the likely consequences, and resigned.

Even though he did nothing but remain honest regarding his mistake, he was given a Statement of Reasons with allegations under Guideline B for his honesty regarding a childhood acquaintance with whom he has since cut all ties, Guideline E for accidentally getting a virus on his work computer after going to a music website, and Guideline K for the same reason. They didn’t even consider the fact that he self-reported the incident or that he resigned as a result of the incident.

He knew that he needed help, so he immediately sought out the Edmunds Law Firm. With over forty years of security clearance experience, Attorney Edmunds and his team were exactly what our client needed for his Response to SOR. We were able to fight for him and satisfy the government’s concerns. With his security clearance intact, our client continues to serve the country he calls home.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces are held to a high standard. This is to be expected, considering they are fighting for our country. However, when they need someone to fight for them, they are often left on their own. That’s why the Edmunds Law Firm is here.

A recent client of ours served in the Army for over three years before receiving his Honorable Discharge. During that time, he was a model soldier who held unlimited potential, as many others do in their twenties. He was eager to serve his country, and he served it well. In 2005, when he was honorably discharged, he had some trouble adjusting to life as a civilian. He was starting to exhibit signs of PTSD. Despite this, he enlisted in the Army Reserves so he could continue serving his country to the best of his ability. Unfortunately, it was also during that time where he ended up homeless and sleeping in his car to have shelter. As he was battling the onset of depression and PTSD along with the loss of his home, he was unable to report to mandatory drills and was discharged. This time, he received an Under Other Than Honorable Conditions Discharge which was a stain on his otherwise excellent military service record.

With this punishment, he had to live with the consequences of his mental health issues. Since his discharge, he worked to accomplish his other goals in life, but he always knew that second discharge was there, marring his reputation. Despite having received numerous medals in his military career and having fulfilled all the sentences brought on by his Separation, he was still plagued by the knowledge of his discharge status.

In an effort to relieve this burden, he sought out the Edmunds Law Firm for help on a military upgrade application. We helped him lay out his situation to the review board for his appeal hearing. Then the deliberations began. Finally, in a 5 to 0 vote, he was granted his military upgrade. With over forty years of experience in security clearance and military law, the Edmunds Law Firm helped get this veteran back on his feet.

If you are dealing with a fight on your own, know that there is help. Call 800.481.2526 today!

We’ve seen it time and time again where the government tries to dredge up finances as just cause for taking away your security clearance. Can they really do that if you’re already paying off your debts? Not if Attorney Edmunds has a say!

A recent client of the Edmunds Law Firm was born to parents who were just getting started in life. They moved around a bit until her father received an excellent career opportunity in Georgia. During all the moving around, our client’s younger sister was born. Our client excelled in high school, participating in several extracurricular activities and still maintaining an excellent GPA. At the age of 17, she met the man who would later be her husband. He supported her as she began attended the University of Georgia, and she supported him when he joined the US Navy. Before his deployment, they got married. She waited tables and finished her Bachelor’s degree while her husband was away. During his second deployment, she earned her Master’s degree in social work on an accelerated program. When her husband returned from deployment, they had a daughter and moved to North Carolina for his work. Unfortunately, the work load and the stress put a strain on their marriage and led to a divorce. They continue to co-parent in order to keep stability for their daughter, but our client was effectively a single mother. She began her career with families who had survived various traumas and worked her way up to social work within the Navy. She has proven herself to be an asset to her country.

Being a single mother, however, put a significant strain on her finances. Without the additional support of her husband, it took her some time to get herself back on track with her bills and still support her daughter. She was in the process of paying back the accounts for her student loans and state taxes when she was presented with a Statement of Reasons with multiple Guideline F violations for her financial burdens. Unfortunately, with her need to support her daughter and continue her work with her cases, she found herself in desperate need of help.

That’s when she found the Edmunds Law Firm. With the excellent team in offices from coast to coast, she was able to submit everything needed to prove she was paying off her debts for her Response to SOR. With the help of the best security clearance attorney in the country and his dedicated team, she was able to keep her security clearance and continue her career serving the Navy.

As we have seen many times over, the government will try to use your country of origin as a reason to take away your security clearance. It should not matter where you are from, but rather where your loyalties lie. That’s why the Edmunds Law Firm is here.

One of our recent clients was born and raised in China as one of six children. After high school, he wanted to visit America and found himself in Time Square, absolutely in awe of the activity and diversity. After a few months, he decided to pursue his college education in Arkansas. He earned his Bachelor’s in science engineering and even met his wife the year before he graduated. They have a son together who is pursuing his own engineering degree. Our client got started working in tech support, but eventually found a position with one of the largest contract manufacturing companies out there. He was able to get a lot of experience through that position and moved around with different companies before finally finding a position as the senior manufacturing engineer in 2006 at his current company. He is honored to be able to support his country through his engineering contributions. He feels he is truly living the American dream we all strive for.

Imagine his surprise then, when everything he had worked for was suddenly threatened with aStatement of Reasons with Guideline B allegations for his mother and five siblings living in China. He obviously had nothing to hide, so he did his own Response to SOR in which he explained that all contact with his family was casual and usually limited to speaking on holidays and birthdays. Despite this information, the government still denied his security clearance!

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm for help with his hearing. Thanks to the efforts of the best security clearance attorney in the country and his team, our client was able to prove his loyalty to the United States and win back his security clearance.

Where your from is not always where your loyalty is. Call 800.481.2526 if your loyalty is being called into question.

Sometimes, the government may ask questions about certain aspects of our lives. Typically, if those questions are not answered very carefully, it could cost your security clearance. That’s why the Edmunds Law Firm is here!

One of our recent clients had to deal with the government asking questions about his finances. He was born in our nation’s capital and was raised by his mother until the age of ten when his mother was tragically murdered in 1993. From that point forward, he was raised by his father and stepmother. It was a lot of traumatic change for someone so young, but he was able to focus on his academics and athletics to get through. He maintained exceptional grades throughout his school years and wanted nothing more than to become an engineer like his father. As many do, he struggled being on his own in college as he was in Ohio with no family nearby for support. Despite being passionate about engineering, he wound up working a job he was miserable at for about ten years. In 2016, he quit his job and went back into several intensive training programs for engineering. Now, he has an exciting career in software engineering closer to his home and family. He is able to support his country now with his life’s passion.

Unfortunately, throughout his college years and the time at his previous job, he was falling into debt. When he had the opportunity to apply for a security clearance and advance his career in engineering, he received interrogatories regarding his past debts. These types of things can ruin one’s chances for asecurity clearance as there are many layers to it whether it is finding the necessary documentation, wording your answers correctly, or simply being thorough enough.

Our client immediately knew he would need help, and he found that with the Edmunds Law Firm. With over forty years of security clearance experience, Attorney Edmunds only employs the best for these matters. With the team in offices from coast to coast, we were able to put together a Response to Interrogatories that left the government with little choice but to approve his security clearance.

Sometimes we forget how or when something happened. We certainly can forget things that happened nearly a decade ago. Can a mistake from forgetting these details really cost your security clearance?

A native to Pennsylvania, a recent client of ours was one of two children. He grew up very athletic and excelled in high school with many offers to play for college teams. Unfortunately, one month before he finished high school, his father passed away very suddenly. His college plans changed so he could stay close to home for his mother and sister. He started to show an interest in chemistry when the loss was weighing too heavily on him and he moved back home. He started working small jobs and coaching high school teams until he decided he wanted to really give back to his country. He enlisted in the US Army and underwent the training to graduate on the Commander’s List. Upon returning to civilian life, he joined the Army National Guard leading a platoon and eventually found the job where he is happiest in transportation on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Life was going beautifully, and he was serving his country happily.

That’s when he was hit with a rather brief Statement of Reasons stating that he lied about past marijuana use during an initial investigation which was a Guideline E violation. He admitted that his past use was always in small amounts during a follow-up investigation, and this was considered apersonal conduct violation. He used his Response to SOR to explain how proud he is to serve his country’s Army. He also explained that he did not mean to leave out the information from his initial investigation and that his past marijuana use was when he was a teenager. Unfortunately, his Response to SOR was not considered enough to satisfy the government’s concerns.

Knowing he would need help with his hearing, he came to the Edmunds Law Firm, home of the country’s top security clearance attorney. We were able to work with him to build the best case possible. When Attorney Edmunds entered the hearing, there was little argument left to be made. Our client won back his security clearance and will continue to serve his country with it.

Domestic violence of any kind should be taken seriously. In cases like these, it’s good that someone is keeping an eye out. However, there are always two sides to the story, and sometimes an argument is just an argument. This should never cost you your security clearance.

A recent client of ours had to deal with the fallout out of two unfortunately failed relationships when his security clearance was threatened. He was born in Colorado and raised in California. He always knew that he wanted to serve his country in some capacity, so he went to school for mechanical engineering and joined the Navy. After his first tour at sea during which he worked his way up the ranks, he returned to the Naval Postgraduate School and earned his Master’s degree. He later taught several classes and helped develop the curriculum at Surface Warfare Officer’s School. He eventually returned to sea for another tour and is now stationed as a highly decorated shipbuilding supervisor. Overall, he has excelled in his service to his country and continues to do so.

When he received his Statement of Reasons, he wasn’t all that surprised to see the Guideline E allegations for his behavior and the Guideline J allegations for the alleged domestic abuse. He created his own Response to SOR in order to explain the circumstances of the alleged violence as it was little more than tensions running high in a tumultuous marriage as well as the stress from an emotionally abusive relationship with his girlfriend. In the first incident he punched a door and left, but the Statement of Reasons asserted that police were involved when they were not in any way. For the second incident, he took full responsibility for his actions in the stressful situation, but pointed out that police were only seeing half of the story rather than the months of strain and manipulation he underwent from his now ex-girlfriend. He also illustrated that some of the allegations were the result of his ex-girlfriend vindictively calling his command to make false reports. Despite his detailed and honest Response to SOR, the government was unwilling to accept his side of the story.

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm, home of the best security clearance lawyers in the country. With over forty years of security clearance experience, Attorney Edmunds was the best hands our client could be in for his hearing. We helped him build his case and walk into the courtroom with confidence. His troubles were over, and his security clearance was reinstated.

Sometimes a little mistake can impact how everyone looks at us for the rest of our lives. Something as insignificant as the wrong documentation shouldn’t be one of those mistakes, though. That’s why the Edmunds Law Firm is here.

A recent client of ours made one of those small mistakes nearly twenty years ago, and it has haunted him since. He made the unfortunate decision to attend a United Nations event without a proper pass. UN Security stopped and transferred him, but the case was eventually dismissed and records were sealed. However, this small incident from the year 2000 was still being held against him on his FBI Identification Record.

When he realized this small blight was hurting his career, he reached out to the Edmunds Law Firm for help on a petition to amend his FBI identification record. These types of cases can take some time, but with the top security clearance attorney in the country and his team on working for our client, we were able to successfully petition the incident to be removed from his record entirely. With nothing holding him back, our client is able to serve his country with his security clearance intact.

We’ve seen it time and time again at the Edmunds Law Firm when the government decides that a person’s family will impede their ability to hold a security clearance.

One of our clients was facing this exact issue recently when his security clearance was denied. He was born in Iran as the eldest of two loving parents. His father held a PhD in engineering, a passion that our client shared as he grew. Throughout his years in school, he won many mathematics competitions. In 2002, his family traveled to the United States in order to finalized their immigration application so they could seek out better opportunities. In 2004, our client attended college in Arizona and graduated three years later with high honors and accolades while also finding time to participate in many local charities. Upon graduation, our client was offered a position with NASA, effectively jumpstarting an excited career in engineering while simultaneously serving the country he calls home.

Despite only ever showing a deep dedication to the United States, he was served with a Statement of Reasons for Guideline Bviolations because of his parents and a few friends living in Iran. It was even alleged that his father worked for the Iranian government despite the fact that his father is a professor who may have taught at a university in Iran but has never worked for the government. These allegations were what brought him to the Edmunds Law Firm to sort out with his Response to SOR. With this, we set out to explain that a majority of the allegations were incorrect because the family had either moved, or he was not in contact with them. The government decision to maintain their decision of revoking his security clearance.

He never gave up, and neither did the Edmunds Law Firm. Attorney Ryan Nerney, a trusted partner of Attorney Alan Edmunds, this country’s best security clearance attorney, went with our client to the hearing to help in his appeal. With our efforts, all our clients security clearance issues were left behind.

We can build our whole lives around serving our country, but sometimes a little mistake is what can destroy our lives. The Edmunds Law Firm wants to help you move past those mistakes.

A recent client of ours wanted little more in life than to serve in his country’s army. At the age of twenty, he joined the US Army and served for several years. He was deployed from 2010 to 2011 in Qatar and earned many honors during his service before being discharged Under Honorable Conditions. His coworkers, superiors, and fellow servicemen spoke highly of our client and his dedication to serving the United States in any capacity he could.

He was hit with a Statement of Reasons for Guideline H when he tested positive on two different occasions for drug use,Guideline F when he did not file or pay his taxes one year, and Guideline E for all of the above.  Even though he served his punishments for the past drug use, remedying the situation on his taxes after missing them while being deployed, and working to improve himself and prevent this conduct from ever happening again, the government still wanted to hold these mistakes against him. He came straight to the Edmunds Law Firm for help with his Response to SOR in order to work through these security clearance issues. Despite our best efforts to provide our client’s side of the story, the government continued to deny his security clearance.

He wasn’t going down without a fight, and we were in his corner. Attorney Ryan Nerney accompanied our client to the hearing and protested that his soldier’s security clearance should have never been revoked. With Attorney Edmunds’ wide range of expertise and his highly skilled team, we proved our was willing and able to hold a security clearance.

That’s why the Edmunds Law Firm is here!

One of our clients wanted to have his military discharge upgraded. His record was almost completely spotless and outstanding with the exception of one mistake that cost his entire Army career. When he returned from his deployment to Afghanistan, he exhibited, as many other soldiers do, the signs of PTSD. As result, he was dealing with sleeplessness and depression which went untreated. He turned to alcohol to numb the pain he was experiencing. He was just past the legal age to drink, so the effect of the alcohol was strong which led to a dependency. He made the very unfortunate mistake that caused the General Under Honorable Conditions Discharge when he was arrested and charged with a DUI in 2013.

After the discharge and the DUI, he worked hard to fulfill all aspects ordered from him by the court, and he began working with the Army Substance Abuse Program. He still showed signs of untreated PTSD, however, so he sought out an official diagnosis from his doctor, and he did in fact have PTSD. Now that he wasn’t in the Army, he sought out other ways to serve his country and began working with an apprentice program, became certified in welding, and even volunteered with Hospice for Children in his spare time. Despite more than making up for his mistake, he found himself unable to advance in his career because of his discharge status. He was never able to explain his mistake or try to make up for the incident even though he had always shown dedication and loyalty to his country.

Not knowing what to do and trying to keep his life out of the Army together, he sought out help from the Edmunds Law Firm. Knowing that we offer help for Active Duty Military and many other areas in government, our client knew he was in the right hands for his military upgrade application and hearing. For the hearing, he had Attorney Alan Edmunds, a subject matter expert with offices from coast to coast, by his side. In no time at all he received an Honorable Discharge.

If you are in our Military and feel that your discharge should have been different, we may be able to help! Call 800.481.2526 today!

No one expects you to be perfect, especially in your teenage years. Can the foolish mistakes we made as teens really cost our future careers?

One of our clients recently had his security clearance revoked for this exact reason. He was the oldest of three children in his family. He grew up in a very traditional household where his weekdays were dedicated to academics while the weekends belonged to working in the family business. Upon entering high school, he began to participate in extracurricular activities and got a job at a local fast food restaurant. As graduation got closer, he realized that he wanted to join the US Army and serve his country. Despite undergoing the intense training expected of our troops, he still worked even harder to maintain a full-time school schedule at a community college and hold down a full-time job at a warehouse. Unfortunately after some health issues flared up, he had to scale back on his education and job so they were both part-time positions. He was able to refocus on his Army training and received a promotion to Staff Sergeant, one of many promotions he received. He met his future wife while in Vietnam and eventually took a civilian status job in order to have a family. He has always shown unwavering loyalty and excellent work ethic when it comes to his country.

Like many do in their youth, our client experimented with drugs, especially when pressured into the activity by his peers. It is something that he sincerely regretted and disclosed on his SF-86 in order to be open and honest when applying for his security clearance. This honesty was punished with a Statement of Reasons with several Guideline H violations for the drug use and Guideline J violations for his use of illegal drugs. Despite having a glowing Army record and cutting away from those past behaviors, the government was going to throw away all our client’s efforts by denying his security clearance.

He wanted to prove the government wrong and show that he was worthy of a security clearance, so he sought out the Edmunds Law Firm for help. With over forty years of security clearance experience, Attorney Edmunds and his team were exactly what our client needed for his Response to SOR. We were able to resolve he security clearance issues and won his case, insuring that our client has a bright future serving the United States.

It’s easy to make mistakes, but it’s very hard to be honest about our mistakes. Should our future be ruined because of our honesty?

A recent client of ours was born to a family with a long history of military service. Growing up with the legacy of both his grandfathers and father, he wanted to follow in their footsteps. A year after graduating high school, he enlisted in the US Army as an aircraft weapons mechanic. He excelled during his time in the Army, receiving many awards and being selected for many special operations and programs. After being discharged, our client wanted to continue serving his country with his work and became an IT specialist. A lot of responsibility was put in his hands with the promotions he received, and he earned many more distinguishing awards.

Throughout his thirty-five years of service, he—like many others—made a few mistakes. He occasionally had a bit too much to drink, and he would find himself making the regrettable decision to drive himself home. However, every time he made this choice, he was honest with the government in interviews, investigations, and his SF-86. Despite all of this, he was serve with a Statement of Reasons for Guideline G violations regarding his alcohol “abuse”—even though the incidents occurred very rarely in a 30+ year timeframe—and Guideline J violations for DUI charges dating back to the 80s. He knew he had nothing to hide, so he did his own Response to SOR in which he pointed out that a significant amount of time had passed since he made a mistake like that, and he had worked hard to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. When his security clearance was denied, he knew he needed help.

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm, home of the country’s best security clearance attorney. With over forty years of security clearance expertise, Attorney Edmunds only hires the best. Attorney Ryan Nerney led our client through thehearing process. When his day in court came, victory was not an issue.

We are raised on the idea that honesty is the best policy, but honesty is what can cost you nearly everything.

One of our clients had his security clearance denied when he was honest about his past. He was the youngest of three children in his family. He grew up with a passion for math and science, finishing high school with high honors. He pursued a career with the Department of Defense after he earned his Bachelor’s degree. Throughout his time serving the government, he has held a strong sense of pride and worked his way up to an electronics engineer.

It’s normally when everything is going well when the government decides to burst the bubble. Our client was abruptly served with aStatement of Reasons with Guideline E violations for his conduct while holding a security clearance, Guideline H violations for trying a pot brownie once at a party and smoking marijuana twice, and Guideline J violations because it was marijuana. These instances all happened in the early 2000s. They were revoking his security clearance based on 3 instances from over a decade ago.

He wanted clear the air, so he came straight to the Edmunds Law Firm for help on his Response to SOR. The team with best security clearance attorney in the country was able to work with our client to prove that he was in no way a security concernbecause he had not participated in the use of marijuana in several years. With the Edmunds Law Firm on his side, all his security clearance issues came to an end.

Call 800.481.2526 to make sure you aren’t punished for your honesty.

Cancer is something that impacts nearly everyone in some way, whether it is ourselves or a loved one. It’s a disease that costs many things, but it should never cost you your career.

Our client’s life has been hard the last few years. He has always worked hard to do what would be best for his future such as putting himself through college and starting his family. After his service in the US Navy, he purchased his first home and moved around a few times, always staying up to date with his finances. In 2011, however, things started going downhill fast. His wife lost her job which ultimately led to their divorce, and he was diagnosed with cancer in late 2012. This type of ailment is one that he still struggles with today. Many people would succumb to a depression with this type of diagnosis, and he did slip for a few months. It wasn’t until a clinical trial started showing some promise that our client was able to start digging himself out of the hole. His finances improved greatly, and he has even been able to help put his children through college.

Even though his health was beginning to improve and his debts were almost completely paid off, the government revoked his security clearance with a Statement of Reasons which listed off his previous debts under Guideline F and a DWI under Guideline G. As many others do, he wrote up his own Response to SOR in which he pointed out that his debts were under control and the DWI was a one-time mistake on an otherwise spotless record. Nevertheless, the government still denied his security clearance. Feeling at a loss of what to do, our client was still undergoing treatment while trying to plan for his hearing so he wouldn’t lose his means of income.

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm where all his security clearance issues could be resolved. We took over the work for him so he wouldn’t have to worry during his treatments as the best security clearance lawyer in the country, Attorney Edmunds, had his case. When they went to the courtroom, it was clear that our client was doing everything in his power to serve his country, even with his cancer. His security clearance was ultimately granted.

There are many fights we have to get through, but keeping your security clearance is one you don’t have to fight alone. Call 800.481.2526 today.

Many people all over the world still believe in the American Dream. They want nothing more than to come here and make a better life for themselves. Some people even want to give back to the land of opportunity by working for the US Government. Should that dream really be thrown aside just because they have family in other countries?

Our client’s country of origin was being held against him, despite only an amicable relationship existing between the United States and Tunisia. He immigrated to the US about twenty years ago in search of better opportunities, something he dreamed of doing since he was a child. He achieved those goals as he went to college and finding a job with the government in technological support. He started a family and has only ever shown himself to be a loyal American citizen who happens to have a mother and a few siblings in another country.

With all of the work he already provided the government prior to applying for his security clearance and his immaculate record, one would think that he would have no issues with his career advancements. That hope was dashed when the government denied his security clearance and hit him with a Statement of Reasons with his family members in Tunisia listed out as Guideline B violations. How was he meant to follow his dreams of serving his country when his family was being held against him? He immediately sought out help with the Edmunds Law Firm. We worked with him on his Response to SOR in which we explained his minimal and casual contact with his mother and siblings. This wasn’t good enough for the government, however, so his security clearance was still denied.

He had another chance, though, and we stuck with him his hearing. With the help of the Edmunds Law Firm, home to the top security clearance attorney in the country, our client was able to prove that he wanted nothing more than to serve his country to the best of his ability, no matter where he was born. This was an easy win for Attorney Edmunds, and our client’s security clearance was granted.

If something you cannot control is holding you back from having a security clearance, call 800.481.2526 for help today.

We all do some dumb things when we are desperate. Many of us have never had to suffer such severe injuries that we go days without sleep. When he was desperate for sleep is exactly when our client slipped up, but this slip up should have never jeopardized his security clearance.

Our client grew up in our nation’s capital, and he always showed a deep interest in technology and engineering. His biggest influence in life was his father, who served in the US Navy while also earning a doctorate. His father encouraged our client’s desire to learn and often brought him to his lab in which the team was hard at work on the Apollo 11 mission. After high school, our client pursued his engineering degree while making time for his hobbies and interests in skydiving, scuba diving, and building his own helicopter. Since earning his degree and beginning work for the government, he has made huge strides in technology research, understanding, and advancements that the U.S. Army still use in the battlefield. In 2011, he was repairing a patch on his roof when he fell off his ladder and broke his back and a few other bones when a section of the roof fell on top of him. Thankfully, he only suffered with some intense pain, but he wasn’t paralyzed. Because of this near-death experience, he was suffering with insomnia and some PTSD. Otherwise, he continues to work hard to serve his country to the best of his ability.

With such impressive contributions and over thirty years of unwavering loyalty, one would think that our client never had to face problems with his security clearance. Unfortunately, his amazing record and technological advancements were overlooked when the government issued a Statement of Reasons for Guideline E violations for an alleged attempted suicide that involved drugs, Guideline H for the fact that there were drugs involved and some marijuana use in college, Guideline I because he had “attempted suicide”, and Guideline J because he had supposedly used the drugs in an unlawful manor. He knew that his supposed suicide attempt was just a result of his accidental overdose when he was trying to sleep after his extensive injuries. He was happy and had no reason to want to end his own life, but now he was at a loss for what he needed to do to save his career.

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm, where the best security clearance attorney in the country and his team worked tirelessly on his Response to SOR in which we explained the circumstances that were being wildly twisted out of proportion. It didn’t take long for the government to realize what an amazing asset they would lose in our client, and his security clearance was reinstated.

Don’t let a tall tale ruin your future! Call 800.481.2526 today!

We see this time and time again at the Edmunds Law Firm where someone comes to the United States to pursue their American Dream. It’s a classic story made all the more wonderful when they decide to give back to their new-found home through some form of service in the government. That is, until the government decides that their family is a threat to national security.

A recent client of ours was born the eldest of ten siblings in Pakistan. He worked hard in school, excelling in math and the sciences, until he was ready to seek out a high education. He came to Chicago in order to attend the Illinois Institute of Technology. While attending school, he met his first wife in 1982 and took on a job to support his now growing family. His wife abruptly left him later that same year, and he suddenly found himself a single father, working a full-time job, attending classes, and undergoing to citizenship process. He had grown up on the ideal to work hard for what he wanted, and he earned his Bachelor’s degree in 1984. He met his current wife a few years later and has a beautiful family. After college, he worked a few federal contracting jobs and earning several awards before he found a position with a private company in California. After sixteen years, he was laid off with about 3,000 other engineers, but he managed to find another job working in software.

Even though he was a well-liked and hard-working American citizen, when he came time for his career to advance and he applied for a security clearance, he was denied. The government issued a Statement of Reasons to him with each of his family members who still lived in Pakistan being listed as a Guideline B violation. He had no idea what to do as his family was being held against him. He sought out the Edmunds Law Firm for help on his Response to SORin which we explained that some of the people listed were dual citizens, people he only periodically spoke with, or had not spoken to in years. Despite this, the government still denied his security clearance.

That’s when he stuck it out with the Edmunds Law Firm as we moved on to a hearing. Attorney Ryan Nerney, trusted by the top security clearance lawyer in the country, accompanied our client through the appeals process. When the government saw that the Edmunds Law Firm was on his side, our client’s security clearance was granted.

Sometimes one bad decision made by a good person can result in unexpected consequences. We all make mistakes, but in our client’s case, his one mistake jeopardized his security clearance.

Our client was born in North Carolina. Growing up, he worked in construction with his father before attending college to major in Business. After getting his undergraduate degree, our client went on to law school. While working his way through college, our client held several clerk positions in various law firms before earning a spot on the Federal Judge’s chambers in order to research and write court opinions and rulings. After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, our client felt moved to join the US Army.

Our client has served honorably for nearly 18 years and continues to serve to this day. Our client has worked in many positions under the Army, including Command Judge Advocate, Chief of Military Justices, Special Operations Task Force Judge Advocate, and more. It is clear to anyone that our client is an honorable, trustworthy individual who is worthy of a security clearance.

Unfortunately, after an isolated incident involving a DUI that occurred in 2018, our client’s worthiness of a security clearance was questioned when he received a Statement of Reasons (SOR) containing allegations under Guidelines E, G & J, all relating to the DUI charge.

Luckily, our client chose to seek assistance from the best security clearance lawyer in the country. Our client retained the Edmunds Law Firm to provide his written response to SOR. After gathering the evidence and working closely with our client, the Edmunds Law Firm worked hard to prepare the response. It didn’t take the government long to realize that our client was a reliable, trustworthy asset that they did not want to lose. They decided to grant his security clearance, the favorable decision allowing our client to continue doing what he loves most – serving the United States.

It isn’t often when the government accuses a person of being disloyal to their country. When they do this, it should be taken seriously. That’s exactly why the Edmunds Law Firm is here.

Our client grew up in California and attended Catholic school. He participated in many extracurricular activities, but he held a strong desire to be a soldier one day as he worked his way up to a cadet lieutenant in his local Civil Air Patrol by the time he was in high school. He took aerospace and aviation classes and even aided the local law enforcement with search and rescue operations. With a long family history of military service, our client wanted nothing more than to be an addition to this legacy. He joined the Army after graduation and underwent two years of leadership training before being sent to North Carolina for immediate combat deployment. He returned home a year and a half later, heavily decorated, and left active duty under honorable conditions. He began work with several defense companies and only left when he grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. In 2014, our client earned his Master’s degree and has continued his service to his country at the Freedom Tower, World Trade Center. He even finds time for volunteer work with various local charities.

How on earth could this excellent example of a civil servant fall into trouble? Well, he shared a meme he copied from Google. Unfortunately, this meme was from an unknown source and sent over his government email address. Furthermore, at first glance, this meme seemed to support Islamic law. This paired with a few out-of-context quotes from his friendly conversations and for being on four episodes of a Singapore television show led to a Statement of Reasonswith allegations under Guideline A which calls to question one’s allegiance to the United States, Guideline B for supposedly being influenced by foreign nationals while at a local Ramadan dinner, Guideline C for the alleged foreign preference our client held, Guideline E for several random allegations which bordered on excessive, and Guideline K for mishandling protected information despite still learning and undergoing training.

Rather than try and tackle these allegations alone, he sought out help and found the Edmunds Law Firm. With over forty years of security clearance experience, Mr. Edmunds assigned a team from his coast to coast offices to work on our client Response to SOR. We were able to address each allegation thoroughly and provide our client’s side of the story. His allegiance to the United States was proved to be unshakable, and his security clearance was restored.

Can the something that happened nearly two decades ago cost your job? What if you have already been punished for it? Can this really come back to haunt you for your security clearance?

This is exactly what happened to a recent client of ours. He is a hard working man who was always interested in the field of electrical engineering. He majored in this before he joined the Air Force in 1996 so he could better serve his country. He fought as a firefighter and paramedic even after his honorable conditions discharge in 2003. It wasn’t until 2015 that he really had a problem. He took his family, a wife and two daughters, to Disneyland over Labor Day weekend. They went to a neighborhood block party while there and spent time with some family and their neighbors. As one does during a block party, he walked around, had some food, and enjoyed the day. When he got back to work, our client was randomly selected for a drug test. Imagine his surprise when he tested positive for marijuana despite never knowingly participating in its use. He realized that, while at the block party, he must have consumed some food containing the drug. He underwent a treatment program for this and has suffered greatly over this mistake.

After over eighteen years of negative drug tests, this one, isolated incident lead to a Statement of Reasons with allegations dating back to 1997 under Guideline J for the criminal conduct of being involved with illegal drugs, Guideline H for the drugs themselves, Guideline D for a false rape accusation and adultery—something he expressed his regret over—which both occurred over fifteen years ago, and Guideline E for allowing himself to be put in those situations.

Immediately knowing that he needed help, he came to the Edmunds Law Firm to build his Response to SOR. The Response to SOR satisfied the concerns the government held regarding his Guideline D violations, but they felt that he still had to answer to the other violations regarding his alleged use of marijuana and, though they acknowledged his sincere remorse, his act of adultery.  Our client decided it best to stick with us through his hearing, where Attorney Ryan Nerney led him to victory through the security clearance appeal.

You would think that telling someone you are struggling, especially with your finances, would not result in harsh punishment. Wouldn’t it make more since to help that person rather than turn them away?

A recent client of the Edmunds Law Firm found out just how quickly he would be tossed aside after he self-reported his financial troubles which were stemming from his divorce in which he had to pay spousal and child support. Two months after he filed for the divorce, he was on deployment to Japan—one deployment of many—and unable to pay the mortgage on his home, and his soon to be ex-wife refused to sell it. By the time he got back from deployment, his home was in foreclosure and was later sold at an auction. Despite being a loyal Naval Officer since 1994 and father of four daughters and wanting nothing more than to show he was working toward a resolution on his financial woes, the government decided he was making “poor choices” with his finances.

That’s when he was given a Statement of Reasons with Guideline F violations for the current financial struggles he self-reported as well as for filing for bankruptcy in the past. According to the Statement of Reasons, he was warned the bankruptcy may come back to haunt him if he ever presented similar financial issues. Like many people, he decided to try and handle his Response to SOR on his own. With this, he went into detail about how he was up to date with his payments, and how he was only trying to keep an open and honest channel with his superiors. He even expressed his dedication to a budget he worked out with advisors and his new wife. When the government didn’t consider this to be enough, that’s when he knew he needed to ask for help again.

He found the Edmunds Law Firm to stand with him at for his hearing in which he would be able to prove that his financial situation was improving, and his twenty-four year career in the Navy with no security violations showed his unwavering dedication to his country. With Attorney Ryan Nerney, one of the talented minds working with the country’s best security clearance lawyer, at his side, this was an easy win for our client. His career and security clearance are left intact.

If your financial hardships are a threat to your security clearance, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Call 800.481.2526 today!

Sometimes you can do everything right, and it still isn’t considered enough. That’s why the Edmunds Law Firm is here for you.

Our recent client holds great pride for his thirty-six years of civilian service in over twenty locations within his contracting company. As the elder child of eight children, he learned responsibility from an early age and wanted nothing more than to find his place in the world and serve his country in some capacity. When he found his contracting company, he realized it was demanding work that would require quite a bit of travel. After a year contract in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm, he came home to divorce papers. Despite losing his house and half of his 401K, he never missed a payment for child support. This divorce wound up being a bit of a blessing as he met his current wife and her daughter with whom he has a happy and loving family.

Things were going well for our client, in spite of some small sacrifices he had to make in order to help his step-daughter through college and continue to support himself and his wife. He was even working to get back on track with a few debts in his past and was making wonderful progress. That’s when he was hit with a Statement of Reasons for Guideline Fviolations for all of the debts he was already working to pay back and several that were not even his and that he had been working to have removed for years. He was a dedicated contractor for his country, yet this Statement of Reasonswas making him out to be some sort of degenerate with no control of his finances.

That’s when he reached out to the Edmunds Law Firm for help on his Response to SOR. With offices from coast to coastand well over forty years of experience under his belt, Attorney Edmunds assigned a team to work with our client on his side of the story. After receiving the Response to SOR and all the evidence supporting our client’s financial responsibility, the government dropped the SOR entirely. Our client got to keep his security clearance and continues to serve his country.

Even the heroes among us can be vulnerable. They can struggle with money just like the rest of us. When they work to make things right, though, their security clearance shouldn’t be put in jeopardy.

One of our clients just found out how tricky it can be to prove you are not living beyond your means. He grew up with his father in Mississippi as his parents divorced when he was very young. His father was in the US Navy, so our client grew up witnessing his loyalty and service to the United States. When he was in his teen years, he moved back in with his mother. He seemed to be on a path for art school, but he decided not to pursue this to avoid having student loan debt. It wasn’t until he was 19 that he realized what he wanted to do with his life as he joined the US Air Force in 1994. After graduating, he used his training to become a certified firefighter. While our client was deployed for a short time, he met his wife and got married at the age of 21. During his many deployments, his two children were born, but there was nothing that was slowing our client down. He managed to separate from his service in order to attend school and become a certified paramedic only to continue his service overseas. He finally settled into a position as with a Fire Rescue service and has continued to accel there since 2003. Though his marriage has strained a little from his sacrifice and dedication, our client would never give up serving his country.

You can certainly imagine the surprise our client experienced when he, of all people, was hit with a Statement of Reasons. Despite his unwavering bravery, he had dealt with some financial troubles in the past, as many of us do. These financial troubles were specifically with his taxes, so this lead to Guideline F violations. Also as many do, our client tried to handle his own Response to SOR in order to keep his security clearance, but the government only accepted a few of his answers, claiming that there was no proof he was making monthly payments.

That’s when he knew to find help. He found it in the Edmunds Law Firm, where the country’s best security clearance attorney and his team are waiting to aid whoever they can. Our client came to the right place for his hearing, and it didn’t take long to prove that the government would be losing a wonderful asset if they didn’t restore his security clearance.

Don’t let your chances of keeping our clearance go up in flames! Call 800.481.2526 today to find out how we can help put out the fire.

We choose where our loyalties lie. We never have the chance to choose our families, yet where we are from or where our family is from are considered threats to national security? Can you really lose your security clearance because of this?

This nearly happened to a recent client of the Edmunds Law Firm. Despite being an American citizen for nineteen years and having served the United States from 1984 until his immigration from Egypt, he found his family being held against him. He was number four of five children to his parents, who were originally from Palestine and later moved to Saudi Arabia before settling in Egypt. His family always had a habit of moving around, but as their family grew, they settled in Egypt as our client went to the local English school. He worked hard and got his Bachelor’s of Science with focuses in business management and accounting. He met his wife and mother of his three children during his second year of college. In 2016, they realized that their relationship shouldn’t be a marriage and divorced, but they are still very close. While he excelled in finances in America, he couldn’t help but remember the service his father had done as a contractor in the 60s. Our client made a career shift in 2006 to work as a linguist in a U.S. contracting company and continues to be an invaluable asset to that company and his country.

Considering all his hard work in the past and his plans to continue working for his country, he was deeply hurt to be presented with a Statement of Reasons with several Guideline B violations that listed his family members who were still overseas as evidence of his foreign preference. Our client was frank and honest with his Response to SOR, deciding to submit it on his own as he explained that none of his family members held any ties to foreign governments nor were they reasons his own trustworthiness should be doubted. Unfortunately, as many realize when they do their own Response to SOR, it was not considered enough for the government.

That’s when our client found us at the Edmunds Law Firm, the only place with the best security clearance attorney in the country. When Attorney Alan Edmunds stepped in to the hearing with our client, his case was as good as won. With the Edmunds Law Firm on his side, our client won back his security clearance.

Life can be hard. Sometimes, we feel set up for failure. Sometimes, we can fight through but still need something to lean on. When it comes to your security clearance, though, we are here to help you through the fight.

Our client’s home life wasn’t all that stable growing up. He was often taken care of by other family members as his parents were unfit. This fact may have been a blessing, however, as he got to see the impact that serving in the Armed Forces had on his grandfather, a veteran from the Korean War. Our client worked through high school and joined the Marine Corps after graduating in 2000. He excelled with his platoon, undergoing training  at Camp Geiger and Fort Knox, just to name a few. He eventually began working as a tank mechanic and was later deployed to Kuwait for seven months to support Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom. Not long after returning, he was deployed again to Iraq and received several achievement medals for his service. After attending recruiter school in California, he continued to serve as chief of maintenance for the tank platoon. He helped field and test many modifications still used by the Armed Forces today. Despite being a dedicated servant to his country, our client had to deal with his own demons. Unfortunately, he leaned on alcohol to help with those problems. This use led to the end of his first marriage before he sought out help. He continues to attend AA meetings and is completely sober.

Nevertheless, because of a run-in he had before admitting that he had a problem, the government served him with a Statement of Reasons for his past behavior while under the influence. In his Statement of Reasons, they listed out violations for Guideline Efor his written statement supposedly contradicted what he had said in an interview, Guideline G for his drunken behavior, and Guideline J for his disorderly conduct. Like many others do, he tried to submit his own Response to SOR in which he explained that the written response was just a bit of incorrect wording, his drunken behavior was over as he is sober, and the disorderly conduct was an unfortunate reaction to being attacked by a stranger at a bar. Unfortunately, the government considered this Response to be inadequate to settle their concerns about his Guideline E and Guideline G violations.

Feeling lost and out of his depth, our client found help with the Edmunds Law Firm. With the team located in offices from coast to coast, he was in the most capable hands for his hearing. We helped him put together everything he needed to win, and with the country’s best security clearance attorney, Alan Edmunds, his victory and security clearance were secured.

People are flawed. We make mistakes. It’s in our nature to do so, and sometimes mistakes can vary in their severity. There are few mistakes that should cost your security clearance, especially when you have already paid for the mistake.

Our client was born the youngest of three children and grew up participating in a wide array of sports and extracurricular activities. His family raised him as a regular church attendee and instilled a strong work ethic in him. He worked from the age of twelve until finding a career as an electrician. He worked long and hard to provide for his family, a wife and a young daughter, but the marriage unfortunately didn’t last. That’s when our client made a life change and went back to school to get his degree in Electrical Engineering. Upon graduation, he landed a job with the Navy. His family had a history of serving the United States, so he was proud to follow in their footsteps as this position allowed him to volunteer with several charities and deploy to help in Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Jordan.

With all of the work he had to do to get where he is, our client liked to unwind with beer, as many people do. He was out with his girlfriend one night, enjoying some pool, karaoke, and alcohol. When they decided to head home for the night, he made one of the worst mistakes of his life and got behind the wheel. When he made that decision, he regretted it almost immediately when he was pulled over. After his parents placed his bail and he got his car from the impound lot, our client went straight to his supervisor to self-report. He always believed that he did not have a problem with alcohol, though he did drink on a weekly basis, however, he underwent the appropriate treatment and completed the program.  It was after all of this when our client was suddenly hit with a Statement of Reasons for Guideline G and Guideline J violations for drinking and driving as well as his past consumption of alcohol.

Immediately, he looked for help and found the Edmunds Law Firm. With over forty years of security clearance experience, our client was in very skilled hands for his Response to SOR. The team under Attorney Edmunds, this country’s leading security clearance lawyer was able to prove that our client has fulfilled all requirements from the court as well as his personal goals of sobriety. Our client kept his security clearance and continues to serve his country.

Don’t drink and drive! And don’t be afraid to call 800.481.2526 for help today.

Who knew that a few CDs could cause so much trouble? But could it really cost your security clearance? Not if the Edmunds Law Firm has any say!

We had the pleasure of helping a highly decorated Captain of the Army win back his security clearance. The eldest of four children, our client always felt a sense of duty and responsibility. After graduating with his Bachelor’s in history, he joined the Army to follow that feeling of loyalty to his country. After undergoing basic training, he was deployed to Afghanistan to support Operation Enduring Freedom. It was during this deployment that he helped locate and secure thousands of pounds of explosives along with over thirty IEDs and insurgents. Upon returning home to awards and a promotion, he was sent back out to North Africa to aid in a regional threat analysis team, a position which allowed him to show his capability and strong leadership. He was deployed to Afghanistan two more times, each time earning awards and medals for his efforts in fighting for the United States.

So when our client was tasked with a few transfers of classified material, this was an easy task for him. One of his transfers had a bit of a hiccup when it turned out that no one was scheduled for the drop-off, but he did what he understood to be the best possible decision at the time to keep the material safe until someone could meet him at the drop-off point. Despite doing everything he could based on his training, he was still considered the one in trouble and was presented with a Statement of Reasons with Guideline Kviolations listed for his mishandling of classified material.

Knowing this was not his area of expertise, he sought out help from the Edmunds Law Firm for help on his Response to SOR. With over forty years of experience in security clearance appeals, our client knew he was getting the best possible help. In spite of an incoming hurricane, we were able to work with him and get any and all information needed to win his case and explain the circumstances of the alleged mishandling of information. We beat the hurricane, and he won his security clearance back.

Don’t let a Statement of Reasons ruin your day. Call 800.481.2526 for help today.

When the government starts asking questions, your answers could put your security clearance in jeopardy. That’s where the Edmunds Law Firm comes in.

As a husband and father of two, our client knew it would be difficult supporting his family while actively serving in the Navy. He and his wife decided it would be best to stay close by even though being on assignments overseas meant they would have to move around a lot. It was when they were located in Spain that some suspicious activity started showing up in their mortgage loans. There were many fees that were never explained and the interest rate was constantly changing. When our client decided it best to try and sell the house they were in, he was told by real estate brokers that there was no market in the area. That’s when he learned that the bank had over-appraised his home, along with many others, so he ceased in adding funds to his bank account. The bank retaliated by foreclosing the house through the Spanish courts and provided our client with no paperwork documenting the foreclosure. This was never an issue until he had to fill out his SF-86 to apply for a security clearance three years later.

The government reached out with a Request for Information regarding what led up to the foreclosure. He called the Spanish bank and received no help with his situation. Despite having disclosed this debt of his own volition and the foreclosure not being reflected on his credit report, he was still being asked to explain himself and the incident as a means to deny his security clearance.

Not knowing where else to turn, he sought out the Edmunds Law Firm where, with help for Active Duty Military and the subject matter expertise of Attorney Edmunds, we handled his Response to the Request for Information. In spite of being in a difference time zone and most of his personal belongings in a different country at the time, we were able to get everything we needed in order to have his security clearance granted.

When the government asks for something, there’s hardly an option. Respond with your best option by calling the Edmunds Law Firm at 800.481.2526 today.

Often times, we are able to leave the past in the past. Unfortunately, others try to drag it back up to use against us.

A recent client of ours was born in Rome, Italy as the youngest of four. He grew up watching his father succeed in academia, and he felt a desire to follow that path. Rather than focus on literature and the classics, however, he studied statistics and data analysis. Through his multiple degrees in his field, he worked his way up to an Associate Professor with tenure He wound up working as a long-time teacher at the Naval Postgraduate school. He has worked there for over twenty years in which time he has mentored hundreds of students wishing to serve their country. He has published papers and a book on his research and projects which have greatly aided our military. Through his love of teaching, he was able to serve his country in turn and his government all the while holding a pristine record of conduct. The only things which could be considered violations on any level were self-admissions from our client as he strove for complete honesty, despite these potentially damaging minor violations taking place several years prior to being asked about it.

When he was asked about his past, especially regarding his answer on his SF-86, he admitted that he used to smoke marijuana. Unfortunately, he made the poor decision of doing so while holding a security clearance. Granted, he did this while in Canada, where it is legal, but he acknowledged that he, as a Federal employee, should have not done this. He once also used his flash drive to make copies before a presentation that he was running late to and did so on a government computer. He was never reprimanded for this action, but was later honest about it in his interview in an effort to remain an honest man. Despite his honesty, he was punished with a Statement of Reasons with violations under Guideline H for his past marijuana use, Guideline J for the fact that marijuana is not legal on a federal level, Guideline M for the alleged misuse of technology, and Guideline E for all of it. As many do, our client tried to handle his Response to SOR alone.

When his Response was rejected, he sought out our help at the Edmunds Law Firm. With over forty years of experience in security clearance appeal, he was in just the right place for his hearing. Attorney Ryan Nerney led our client to victory at his personal appearance, and, with his security clearance intact, our client returned to teaching the future of our Armed Forces.

Don’t let your past mistakes cost your future. Call 800.481.2526 today.

We can spend all our lives working for something, but the government can take it all away in an instant. That’s why the Edmunds Law Firm is here!

One of our clients, who was born in Florida and joined the Navy just after high school, always knew he wanted to serve his country to some capacity. Even after his enlistment ended, he began working as a carpenter, building homes for others until his started his own crew of subcontractors. Two years after his initial enlistment ended, he joined the Naval Reserves as a builder and has worked as a Naval contractor since then. As of 2016, he is a single father of two, proudly serving his country while living in a home he built with his sons.

Unfortunately, the circumstances which led to him being a single father were rocky at best. His marriage of twenty-three years ended when his wife’s year-long affair was discovered. They sold their home in 2013, and that’s when our client began building his house. Not long after the house was completed, our client’s ex-wife showed up intoxicated, shouting threats, and breaking things inside the house. When our client called the police, she cried domestic violence and he was arrest. Despite having evidence that the house was a wreck, the charges being reduced, and our client paying his court costs, the government tried to hold this horrible situation against him with a Statement of Reasons with Guideline J violations listing out all the incidents of that night. They even dredged up an incident from over twenty years prior when he was charged for trespassing back when he was young and goofing off.

He immediately sought help to sort out this mess and found the Edmunds Law Firm. With our help on his Response to SOR, the government got his side of the story. With the help of this country’s best security clearance attorney and his team in offices from coast to coast, our client was finally allowed to keep working for his country, with his security clearance saved.

If you’ve built a life for yourself with a security clearance, don’t let it be torn down. Call 800.481.2526 today to find out how we can help!

When it is necessary to feed your family, some bills may fall behind. Sometimes, allowing those bills to go unpaid is the only way to keep food on the table for those who are relying on you.

A recent client of ours learned that the hard way as he acted was the breadwinner of his home while his wife was in school. In between contract work, he had to survive off of their savings account in order to keep them afloat. Despite growing up in a low-income household as the eldest of three, our client began working at the age of twelve as he started his own landscaping company. He didn’t realize it at the time, but when his home was raided and his father taken into custody for dealing narcotics, our client realized his income was actually supporting the household. A few years later, he ran into some friend who had joined the Navy, and he was inspired to join as well, learning to become an aviation mechanic and meeting his wife during his enlistment. After his enlistment ended, his financial struggles started after the deaths of his parents and a surprise pregnancy accompanied the difficult times with no contract work. He held strong with his family, and they made it through the nine years of unsteady ground. He even began paying back on his debts, all of which had remained relatively small.

Imagine his surprise when, after everything, the government gave him a Statement of Reasons for these Guideline F allegations. He was shocked as some of these debts were paid off, and they weren’t even considering what had brought about his financial hardships. With his security clearance in jeopardy, he looked for help in the appeals process.

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm who could help him with his Response to SOR. With offices from coast to coast and over forty years of experience with security clearance appeals, he was in the right place. The team assembled with Mr. Edmunds, this country’s top security clearance attorney was easily able to get our client’s side laid out clearly for the government. With nothing left to argue, our client won his security clearance back and kept his livelihood.

If you are falling behind and your security clearance may be at risk, don’t wait! Call the Edmunds Law Firm today!

Staying on top of finances can be very difficult. It can cause you to do something you sincerely regret later. But if you have genuinely improved, should you still lose your security clearance? Not if Attorney Edmunds has a say!

Our client wanted nothing more than to serve his country, alongside his wife who also held a security clearance before her contract was downsized and her job was lost. Despite this, he kept working for his country and the Department of Defense. His wife was eventually able to find some part-time consultation work, but nearly three years had passed where they were forced to make ends meet. As many people do in these troubling times, bills have to sit on the back-burner as necessities take priority. Unfortunately, our client’s stress drove him to make a mistake, but that quickly became his only mistake as he was taken to court for a DWI. He had to attend a alcohol safety program in order to complete his probation, but he was placed on a wait list for his area for almost a year in which he was unable to drive without restrictions. He followed the rules and met all the obligations, successfully leaving that dark moment behind him as his household finances began to improve.

Instead of being recognized for his improvement, however, our client was presented with a Statement of Reasons for his Guideline F violations for the debts he was paying back and a Guideline J violation for taking so long to fulfill his probation requirements. He thought it best, as many do, to handle his Response to SOR on his own. He provided detailed explanations as to the circumstances of his debts such as the loss of over half the household income when his wife was laid off, documentation that the debts were being paid off, and the information regarding his DWI. When he heard back, he had successfully satisfied the government’s concerns regarding his Guideline J allegation. Yet, his security clearance was still in jeopardy from the Guideline F allegations.

At a loss for what to do, he found the Edmunds Law Firm. With the help of Alan Edmunds, this country’s top security clearance attorney, he went to his hearing with everything he needed to put the government’s concerns at ease. He left with hissecurity clearance and his job intact.

We’ve all done something that we’re not proud of. Sometimes one is more serious than another, but the guilt can be crushing. Many people are able to come clean about what they did, despite knowing that this may just add to the punishment they are already receiving.

This is exactly what happened to a recent client of ours. He grew up in the Northeast and wanted to join the Marine Corps with his older brother after they spoke to a recruiter. Despite wanting to do it together, his brother decided not to join, but our client reported for training six months after graduating high school. This was the beginning of a successful career in the Marine Corps for fourteen years. He plans to continue serving for at least sixteen more years and has been deployed four times. During a relocation to California, our client met his wife and her daughter. As many know, a career in the Armed Forces can be difficult on one’s marriage. This was unfortunately the case when our client got into trouble for solicitation of a prostitute. He plead guilty, paid all fines, and complied with his court orders. He even self-reported to his chain of command, despite being embarrassed by the situation and afraid of the further trouble he could get into.

That’s when he was presented with a Statement of Reasons with a Guideline D violation for soliciting a prostitute and a Guideline J violation for being convicted of this charge. He likely knew this could happen from being honest with his command, but he in no way wanted to lose his glowing Marine career and his means of supporting his family. That’s when he sought out help from the office of this country’s best security clearance attorney, the Edmunds Law Firm. With a team working with him on his Response to SOR, our client was able to prove to the government that these two charges were completely out of character and would never happen again. Our client’s mistake did not cost him his security clearance.

Is one embarrassing action about to cost you your security clearance? Don’t let that happen! Call the Edmunds Law Firm at 800.481.2526 to find out how we can help!

Can a little mistake made when trying to be honesty cost your job? Not if Attorney Edmunds can help it!

A recent client of ours grew up in a military family. His father was a retired Army Officer, and they moved frequently for his work. Our client never felt that he was missing out, however, as he had the chance to feel at home in any country or state his family was stationed in. He also developed a strong bond with his family, one that he would never give up. After attending college in his family’s home state, where he had the opportunity to participate in some political activism and help in his community. He worked closely within a fraternity that his father was an alumni, and he eventually earned a four-year Army ROTC Scholarship. After earning his Bachelor’s degree, he began working in IT and engineering. He has worked his way up to cybersecurity and has even established his own non-profit organization for underprivileged youth and communities to learn in the science, math, and technology.

Now, how could someone with such an outstanding impact on his community and desire to serve his country be in trouble? He was presented with this same issue when the government served him with a Statement of Reasons with Guideline E violations for personal conduct and Guideline H violations for drug use. Back in 2013, he was visiting a friend for a weekend when he tried marijuana. He did not disclose this information in his SF-86 because he was afraid of the consequences, but when his interview came around, he told them about this as an attempt to remain honest. When confronted about it during the interview, he accidentally stated the wrong year.

Not knowing what to do with these allegations and the potential destruction of his bright future serving his country and community, our client found the Edmunds Law Firm. With a team working for the best security clearance attorney in this country, our client had all the help he need with his Response to SOR. His future remained bright, and his security clearance was intact.

You would think that after over twenty-two years of loyalty, a little financial trouble could be overlooked, especially when it is in the past and has already begun to improve.

A man who grew up in a modest and financially responsible family found himself facing this exact issue. In the year 2000, he married a woman who he hoped to spend the rest of his life with. She was a teacher, but she was not raised in a home that was as responsible as his was growing up. Despite this, she volunteered to manage the household finances as she had the time to do so. When their bank accounts turned up empty time and time again, he was always met with the same excuse that it was due to their bills. Out of a desire to keep a happy home and family, he didn’t question the nice things, the credit cards, and the constantly empty accounts. It wasn’t until the house was about to be foreclosed on that he felt there was no choice other than to file for divorce. They had to sell the home, but it was foreclosed on before they could. Since then, he has found a loving, responsible wife. They own their own home and are current on all of their bills.

When this man was contacted for these past debts via a Statement of Reasons riddled with Guideline F violations, he knew he had to fight back. He, like many others, tried to provide his own Response to SOR in which he explained the circumstances of his first marriage, how the debts almost entirely belonged to his ex-wife, and how he intended to avoid foreclosure on his home but suffered from some bad legal advice in the process. Despite providing a solid Response to SOR, this was not considered enough for the government.

That’s when he sought out help with the Edmunds Law Firm. Our team worked with him as he prepared for his hearing, and he assured to be in the capable hands that only over forty years of security clearance experience can provide. With our help, he was able to prove that he wanted nothing more than to serve his country, and his security clearance was restored.

When you have expressed nothing more than absolute loyalty to the United States, you would think that where you were born makes little difference. This loyalty was called into question when a recent client of the Edmunds Law Firm had to fight to keep his livelihood.

Our client was born in India in 1966 to a loving family who lived comfortably. His household lived by the rules of Zoroastrianism, simply put: Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds. He carried those beliefs with him upon completing high school when his sister and parents immigrated to America. He wasn’t here long before he wanted to serve his new home country by joining the Air Force. He attended basic training in 1986. After four years of active duty in the Air Force, our client transferred to the Air National Guard and worked to get his Bachelor’s Degree. After the events of September 11th, he wanted to do even more for his country, so he found a position in INS. Somewhere in all of his service and moving around for training, he met his wife of twenty years with whom he has two children.

With all of this unwavering service to the United States, you can imagine our client’s surprise when he was hit with aLetter of Intent. This is similar to a Statement of Reasons, as it has allegations listed, but this LOI allowed our client the opportunity to answer specific questions about his alleged Guideline B violations. The supposed foreign influence was all from our client’s previous friends or distant family who were still in India. Our client, being a man who wants nothing more than to help, had sent a few of these relatives and friends small amounts of money in their times of need. The last occurrence of this was at least five years ago, so our client was absolutely at a loss of how to keep his security clearance.

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm, where the best security clearance attorney in the country and his team were able to create a detailed Response to LOI on our client’s behalf. With over forty years of security clearance experience and our client’s impeccable record of loyalty and good faith, he was able to keep his security clearance.

Isn’t it counter-intuitive to put someone’s security clearance in jeopardy when they are in financial trouble?

A dedicated family man who does everything he can to help his stepdaughter through college shouldn’t be hit with something as harsh as a Statement of Reasons with several Guideline F allegations. Like many people, our client decided to answer his Response to SOR on his own. Unfortunately, our client learned, as many people do, that this was not going to be enough for government despite how thorough his explanations were.

When it was decided that he had not provided enough documentation, he came straight to the Edmunds Law Firm for help. By working with a team in offices from coast to coast on his case, he was able to gather all the necessary documentation he needed to prove that his prior debts were being paid off. When it came to the hearing, Attorney Edmunds, this country’s best security clearance lawyer, stepped in and there was not a doubt that this would be settled in our client’s favor.

Our client didn’t lose his security clearance, and as long as the Edmunds Law Firm is here to help, you don’t have to either. Call us today and find out how we can help you!

Whatever happened to the benefit of the doubt? What about innocent until proven guilty. You would hope the government would consider these concepts before taking away your security clearance, right?

Innocence wasn’t even considered for a recent client of ours. A former Marine with several medals, awards, and an honorable discharge under his belt, one would thing that his side of the story would at least be considered. Unfortunately, despite his continued service as a civilian, the diagnosis of PTSD can carry a very negative stigma. When our client was attacked by a random teenager on his front lawn, he showed incredible restraint by trying to defuse the situation. The teenager was combative and vulgar as he accused our client of being an abusive stepfather, a lie unfortunately spread by our client’s stepdaughter in an attempt to get attention. Our client was threatened multiple times, and each time he told the teenager to leave, finally asking his wife who was inside the house to call 911. When the teenager pushed and tried to punch our client, he simply got a tool from his garage to keep the guy at arms’ length. Unfortunately, in the time before the police arrived, the teenager tripped and the tool caught his leg, breaking it in the fall. When the police arrived to a teenager with a broken bone and a Marine diagnosed with PTSD, assumptions were made as to whom the guilt belonged.

Our client was presented with a Statement of Reasons for Guideline J (criminal conduct) and Guideline E(personal conduct) allegations. The supposed criminal conduct was as a result of our client defending himself when being attacked on his own property, despite having remained relatively calm in a heavy-pressure scenario. The personal conduct allegations were for his failure to disclose the arrest, despite him not knowing that he was required to tell his superiors about it.

Overwhelmed by this action against him, our client sought out help with the Edmunds Law Firm on his Response to SOR. As the best security clearance attorney in the country, Mr. Edmunds only hires the best to handle these cases. Our client was in great hands as his response to SOR was submitted. With nothing left to argue, our client’s security clearance was granted.

When it comes to living within your means financially, you would think two debts that were not even yours wouldn’t jeopardize your livelihood.

A recent client of ours had to move mountains to keep her security clearance. A daughter of a retired Air Force officer with over 45 years of military and civilian work, our client was used to hard work and perseverance. With two very active daughters and a dedication to her country as a contractor, she was ready for anything life could throw at her. After dealing with her divorce, she had to take over a portion of the financial burdens that accumulated during her marriage. During this time, she was going back to school to get her Bachelor’s degree, and she took on the debts to avoid allowing her former spouse to file for bankruptcy. She worked hard to get through school, maintain her security clearance, and live within her means.

So when she was hit with a Statement of Reasons for those two debts listed as Guideline F violations, she was astounded. She called the collectors. She did everything within her power to determine how she could fix this problem. She even handled her ownResponse to SOR which was admirable, but the government didn’t see that as enough.

Not one to give up, she came to the Edmunds Law Firm for help at her hearing. She was in hands of the best security clearance attorney in the country, Alan Edmunds, and his team. When they walked into the courtroom, there was little doubt as to how it would end.

Don’t let someone else’s mistake cost your job. Call the Edmunds Law Firm today for help.

Some people have to deal with true tragedy in their lives. They have to pick themselves up from that and build their lives again. Some people do this at their own pace and struggle with it, but we are all making our own ways through life. Tragedy can define us, but it doesn’t have to, especially as we learn to do something with our lives.

This is exactly what happened with a recent client of ours as he dealt with the tragic loss of his sister, having to take in her son and support him, and learning to live without her there. He eventually joined the military, wanting to be a part of something bigger than himself. Unfortunately, dealing with the loss of someone he was very close to resulted in him seeking comfort and, as many people do, he found his comfort in alcohol. After being discharged due to a DUI, he started working toward turning his life back in the right direction with AA meetings and check-ins at his local VA Clinic.

With all of this self-improvement, he was surprised to be served with a Statement of Reasons with allegations under Guideline G for his past alcohol consumption and Guideline E for his subsequent DUIs and separation from the Army due to misconduct. He provided a detailed Response to SOR in which he provided the circumstances for his improvement, but the government still wanted to hold his past against him.

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm for help in continuing his security clearance appeal with a hearing. With offices from coast to coast working with him and Mr. Edmunds, America’s top security clearance attorney, at his side, our client was able to walk away with his security clearance intact.

Finances can be a burden, and we all have to deal with them. They shouldn’t cost yoursecurity clearance, though.

A recent client of ours grew up in the home of a career soldier. His family moved around a lot as he grew, but he was always inspired by his father. When he was in an accident at the start of his freshman year of college and later had to witness his father’s declining health and eventual death, our client reassessed what he wanted to do with his life. He joined in the Navy Reserve and attended school at night while he was in basic training. When his mother needed support in her old age, our client did everything he could to support her while still allowing her to live in her own home. Furthermore, his girlfriend and her daughter had to move in after their home burned down. His generosity should have been rewarded as he continued to deal with several transitions in the status of his pay and going from active duty to retirement. He pushed to start repayment plans on his taxes and has been dealing with his financial hardships since 2004.

Despite dealing with his debt and catching up on his bills, our client was presented with a Statement of Reasons for several Guideline F allegations for his financial situation. He knew that he was repaying everything that the government was laying out, but how was he supposed to support his family if he lost his security clearance? Our client needed help, and he found us.

When he came to the Edmunds Law Firm, he was in excellent hands as the team with the country’s leading security clearance attorney, Alan Edmunds, helped our client gather the evidence he needed to prove his case. With a detailed and thorough Response to SOR, he was able to satisfy all the government’s concerns of Guideline F violations. He left us with his security clearance restored and ready to continue serving his country.

Debts won’t cost you your security clearance if Attorney Edmunds has anything to say about it. Call today!

The eldest of three in a military family, a recent client at the Edmunds Law Firm wanted little more than to join the Marines to follow in his father’s footsteps. After high school, he did just that and enlisted for boot camp. He began working with electronic communications, eventually being trusted to safeguard all classified material while moving between three stations. He is proud of his service to his country and has been well rewarded for his efforts. However, his life and career was in jeopardy when he was faced harsh allegations in aStatement of Reasons under Guideline D for the alleged rape of a fellow officer, Guideline E for lying about her whereabouts, Guideline G for the consumption of alcohol leading up to the alleged assault, and Guideline J for the criminal allegation of rape.

Knowing he was out of his depth, he came straight to the Edmunds Law Firm for help on his Response to SOR. With the country’s leading security clearance attorney and his team working in offices from coast to coast, he was able to point out the facts that there was not enough evidence to indicate anything more than consensual, though intoxicated, relations and charges which were ultimately dropped. With the help offered for Active Duty Military, our client was able to win back his security clearance.

Can the government take away your security clearance for helping your family?

A recent client grew up in a rough neighborhood where drugs were pushed and drive-by shootings were common. Despite this, she was surrounded by the positivity of her family and godmother who encouraged her to be an active member in her church. She learned commitment while in school by participating in several extra-curricular activities including JROTC. This fed her interest in serving in the Navy. She worked hard over the years, often taking on bills for those in her family who couldn’t make ends meet as she was the only person making over minimum wage. Unfortunately, this sometimes led to her falling behind with her own finances. She has been working toward improving her credit and correcting her situation for over a year.

With her finances on the way improvement, imagine her surprise when she was hit with a Statement of Reasons for her Guideline F violations. Despite several of these debts being the result of having to support her family in hard times or assist friends who suddenly found themselves homeless, her generosity was being severely punished with a threat to not only her career but her greatest accomplishment in life.

She sought out the Edmunds Law Firm for help in her Response to SOR. With Attorney Alan Edmunds hiring only the best for the security clearance appeals process, she had everything she needed to fight back and prove that she had not only earned her security clearance but that her past money mistakes would in no way tarnish her loyalty to her country.

Having to support your family can be a burden at times, but a threat against your security clearance doesn’t have to be. Call today for help!

Honesty is the best policy. At least, that’s what people say. But should you really be punished for being honest?

After having both parents serve the United States, a recent client for the Edmunds Law Firm was ready to serve her country in any capacity. She worked hard through high school and attended college. While there, she even met her future husband. After graduation, she met a recruiter for the U.S. Coast Guard and was eager to follow her parents’ legacy of service. She excelled in the Coast Guard until she had to correct a previous omission. When she met the recruiter, a friend of hers explained that his prior drug use had been cause for him to be turned away. Our client was fearful that, if she mentioned her previous experimenting with marijuana back in high school, her chances to serve in the Coast Guard would be ruined. She told the recruiter that she had never used drugs and later answered the same on her SF-86. When she was under a personnel subject interview, she decided it would be for the best to be as honest as possible.

Our client was quickly served with a Statement of Reasons listing out several Guideline E, personal conduct, allegations for the drug use in high school and for not disclosing the drug use. Not wanting to lose her security clearance, she came straight to the Edmunds Law Firm—home of Attorney Edmunds, this country’s best security clearance lawyer—for help on her Response to SOR. Through this, she was able to explain what happened and her full reasoning behind why she did not disclose the information before.

When the Response to SOR was not considered enough to appease the government, our client went to a personal appearance where Attorney Ryan Nerney was able to help her win back her security clearance. With offices from coast to coast and a reputation of over forty years of security clearance experience, Mr. Edmunds only hires the best.

The truth may set you free, but the Edmunds Law Firm will help you keep your job! Call today to find out how we can help!

We don’t choose our family, but we do ultimately choose our loyalty. If you are loyal to the United States, though, can you lose your security clearance?

After growing up in Iraq and serving the Iraqi army under a mandatory service, a recent client of ours had the opportunity to emigrate to the United States with his wife and three children. He wanted a better life for himself and his family, so he began the immigration process. Despite being qualified in Iraq for various technical jobs and experience in the oil industry, he gladly took a job at a hotel chain to support his family in their new country. After seven years of this, a new chance came to our client as he clamored to aid the United States army as a linguist and cultural advisor, a job that is invaluable to our troops stationed in the Middle East.

After showing nothing but loyalty to his country and fellow serviceman, it was quite a devastating shock when he was presented with a Statement of Reasons with Guideline B allegations for his father and siblings who lived in Iraq and Guideline C allegation for his voting in Iraq after becoming a Naturalized citizen of the US. He admitted to everything in his Response to SOR and provided explanations for his family members (foreign influence) and his attempt to use his citizenship in Iraq (foreign preference) as a means to vote for democracy to come to the Iraqi people. While his intentions were good, the government did not accept them as pure.

That’s when he came to the Edmunds Law Firm for help in his hearing. This case was hardly a challenge for Mr. Edmunds, this country’s leading security clearance attorney and his team. Mr. Edmunds was able to successfully satisfy all the concerns of the government in order to keep our client’s security clearance. With over forty years of experience, Mr. Edmunds is considered a subject matter expert in this field.

Suicide is never the way out. Many people struggle with mental health issues, but they push on for their families, their jobs, and their country. When it all becomes too much, you would think that the government wouldn’t want to kick you when you’re down. That’s what our client thought too after getting through one of the darkest times of his life.

Our client was a middle child who grew up in California. After high school, he joined the Navy in order to continue his family’s long tradition of serving the United States’ military. He met his wife in 2013, and they had two children together. Their marriage was rocky for a while before his second child was born, and they were even considering divorce. At one point, his wife even accused him of domestic assault and abuse after being encouraged by her friends to “teach him a lesson”. It was so rough on our client that he made the decision to travel to Thailand as a means of escaping the horrible fighting and separation process so he could commit suicide. He was talked out of hanging himself by a Thai lady and booked his ticket back to Guam when he realized this was not what he wanted to do. This was little more than a lapse in judgment in an extremely difficult time in his life. He has worked hard on further developing his coping skills and repairing his marriage.

One would think that after such hardships, he would be past all of this and be able to move on with his life. Our client thought so too until he was presented with a Statement of Reasons with Guideline B allegations (Foreign Influence) because he traveled from Guam to Thailand without submitting a request beforehand,Guideline D allegations (Sexual Behavior) for the domestic and sexual abuse that never actually happened,Guideline E allegations (personal conduct) for the booking a ticket to Thailand and after supposedly lying on his SF-86 about a diagnosis for his mental health, and Guideline I allegations (psychological conditions) for the suicidal ideations. With all of those allegations piled one, our client was overwhelmed and practically forced to relive some of the worst times of his life while his security clearance was in jeopardy.

That’s when he found the Edmunds Law Firm for help on his Response to SOR. With well over forty years of experience in the security clearance field, Attorney Edmunds only hires the best to help on these cases. When it comes to security clearance appeals, there is no one better to help, and that’s exactly what happened with our client. With the team working for the best security clearance lawyer in the country standing with him, there was no doubt that he would win.

Life is hard, but keeping your security clearance shouldn’t be. Call today for help!

Even the most morally upstanding of us can struggle with a rebellious child. Just how much can they get us in, though?

Despite having to overcome many adversities in her life, a recent client of ours has continuously maintained her ethics and morality. She was raised by her great, great grandmother and her grandfather as a proud member of her local church and a dedicated academic. She entered an early admissions program for college at sixteen years old and eventually followed in the positive influences in her life as she began to work for the United States government. While she loves her family fiercely, her dedication to her country became a top priority.

That’s why she was surprised to be served with a Statement of Reasons with only one, though a powerful one, Guideline E allegation (Personal Conduct) for allegedly quitting her job while under investigation for time card fraud and false expense reports. She came to the Edmunds Law Firm for help on her Response to SOR, in which she explained that it was her daughter’s expense report that she had inadvertently approved. At the time, she was unaware of how serious it was, and she confronted her daughter about the reports in question. She knew that her daughter had struggled with drug abuse in the past, and she feared that if her daughter was committing fraud, then perhaps she had relapsed. Ultimately, our client did what she believed to be for the best and resigned. Even though this explanation and the evidence attesting to our client’s outstanding career, the government did not view this explanation as enough, so it was time to move on to the hearing.

Luckily, our client made the right decision and stayed with the Edmunds Law Firm to help with her security clearance appeal. That’s when Attorney Edmunds, this country’s leading security clearance attorney, stepped into the courtroom. There was hardly a question on whether or not our client would win. She had her day in court and held her head high with her security clearance intact, having overcome another adversity.
