Alan Edmunds, Experienced Attorney
Alan V. Edmunds has been practicing law since 1976, and his track record of helping National Security Clearance applicants speaks for itself. The stakes are high—gaining a National Security Clearance opens up significant opportunities in an individual's career, and losing a clearance can mean the "end of a career" in some fields. For an employer, it can be a significant set back to lose a valued employee, or the employee's promotion, due to the denial of a Security Clearance. Mr. Edmunds is often retained by active duty military, civilian employees, and defense contractors to save careers.
Mr. Edmunds has frequently appeared on local television, national television, and numerous talk shows. His cases have also been featured in several newspapers.

Recent Victories
On November 17, 2011, The Edmunds Law Firm received notification of a favorable security clearance determination. The Edmunds Law Firm prepared and submitted a written response to the National Security Agency on behalf of the Applicant. The firm was successful in mitigating the security concerns under Guideline J: Criminal Conduct, Guideline F: Financial Considerations and Guideline E: Personal Conduct, without the need for a hearing. The allegations against the Applicant pertained to $100,000 worth of stolen equipment from his former employer and failing to claim up to $10,000 worth of purchases on his state income taxes. The Edmunds Law Firm submitted a letter of appeal and supporting documentation to prove the Applicant had taken actions to rectify and mitigate those behaviors which resulted in the original denial decision. The firm prevailed and the Applicant was found eligible to maintain his security clearance.
