Working with Edmunds Law Firm, was very responsive in my case. My attorney quickly address my concerns and facts and was very organized and compassionate and knowledge. I would recommend this Law Firm to any of my friends and colleges.
Had a couple things come up due to some misunderstanding and decided to call The Edmunds Law Firm. I spoke with Alan on the very first call and it was decided to press forward. The team at Edmunds Law Firm was professional, responsive and very helpful. They gave me the guidance to obtain all the information, documents, and other requirements necessary for them to compile and submit an appeal on my behalf and a favorable decision was made. Absolutely thrilled and I appreciate them very much. Hate to say it, but they dont charge enough. What a steal!! Thanks for your services. Now on with life!
I highly recommend The Edmunds Law Firm for any security clearance issues you may be having. Now that the Military has transited into the Continuous Evaluation (CE) review process you need to know what to do when your command receives a (CER) Continuous Evaluation Report on you from Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA). I had no idea what to do and there were little to no instructions how to reply to this time sensitive response. At the time, I didn’t know about The Edmunds Law Firm (TELF) and the CER input I submitted resulted in a denial which elevated my security clearance investigation to a Statement Of Reasons (SOR). First lessons learned, if you receive a CER don’t submit your reply yourself. A self-submitted CER response will have little to no chance of receiving a positive reply. The bottom line: If you receive a CER/SOR hire The Edmunds Law Firm to represent you for a successful outcome to your security clearance investigation.
I received a Supplemental Information Request (SIR) from DoD CAF and recognized that I needed assistance to generate a response. I researched available attorneys and found excellent reviews for the Edmunds firm. I submitted a request for assistance on a Friday evening and received a call from Mr. Edmunds on Saturday. I retained his firm based upon that initial discussion and we started the response package on the same day. I was assigned a very responsive team who assembled the package for my response to DoD CAF. Within one business day of submitting the response, my case was favorably adjudicated by DoD CAF! The Edmunds team successfully presented my whole person defense through their comprehensive response package. I could not have achieved this result without their representation and especially not at this stage of the process. I never had to go to a SOR or formal hearing. Hire this firm if you value your career!
Like anyone contacting a lawyer you are in a stressful state and one of the first questions you will probably ask is based on the other cases you have done do you think I have a good shot at winning mines? And the answer is well there is only one of you and your case is yours. Thats the best answer to hear because they treated me special and not like every other case that they handle. Edmunds has all the experience that's needed for them to put their best foot forward to win your case. Hands down the best option to go with. I had a extremely difficult and challenging case and waited 9 months to get a decision, going with Edmunds was worth the wait for my favorable decision! DONT GO WITH ANYONE ELSE BESIDES EDMUNDS!!
The return response time for the Edmunds law company was excellent. One of their attorneys called me and explained in detail their services. Their costs were extremely affordable and the communication both via phone and email was extremely efficient. Unfortunately it turned out because I had filed for divorce in Long beach, CA they did not cover LA county. I was disappointed that I then had to find another company however I did in fact do more research and was able to use a QDRO company for my divorce/asset split.
I was denied security clearance, so I hired The Edmunds Law Firm to file an appeal. From the first consultation I felt safe that they would do all they could in order to help me out. The team is very determined and hard-working to assure the best quality work, I was shown progress over time and thankfully at the end won my appeal! I wish I would have found the Edmunds law firm sooner they are very smart and up to date with so many ways to receive your security clearance back!
I made a huge mistake of driving after having some drinks and had my security clearance taken away. The Edmunds Law Firm had a great reputation with my friends that after giving them a call I felt relieved that they would help me fight to get my security clearance back. They were the best choice I could have made, they guided me through what would happen and kept me informed of any changes. Without a problem I won my case, I will recommend this law firm to everyone I know they make it so easy and do everything right!
After going through a rough time and getting into some trouble I was in the lookout for a good law firm to help me get my security clearance back. I reached out to The Edmunds Law Firm after researching some cases they have won. I explained my situation, and they really made me feel I was very capable of getting my security clearance back. I went ahead and decided to move forward with them, they took care of all the paperwork and everything that would have been a stress for me. They really made me feel secure and updated me with all that was going on. In the end I won my case! This is such a great Law Firm I seriously recommend them if you are in the process of getting your security clearance back.
After I was charged with a DUI my security clearance was going to be potentially revoked. Thankfully I found the Edmunds Law Firm. I found out that a DUI is not a good enough reason alone to deny someone security clearance. They helped me to defend my case, and to prove myself as a stable individual after this charge. I am happy to say that I won my case, and I have retained my security clearance thanks to the wonderful team here.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
