Best security clearance lawyer

Posted by Derrick

After consulting with many clearance lawyers, I decided to hire Mr. Sykstus's services. Definitely one of the best decisions I have made to date. I had a criminal background that had cost me several good work offers when a background check was performed. When I brought my case to Ron he listened attentively, was very informative, and knowledgeable on security clearance process. He offered me his book and also helped walk me through the entire process of the SF-86 application. He helped me wuth all my responses as he made time to help me complete the entire application thoroughly. He made himself available for clarification on all my questions and treated my case with alot of care, concern, and continous guidance. Ron was truly God sent because thanks to his advice and his assistance, I was recently offered security clearance. I can hoestly say wihtout Mr. Systus help I would have been lost and my lack of uderstanding might have cost me my clearance. I am very thankful and appreciative for his help and I would highly recommend Ron Sykstus as a top notch lawyer in many areas espacialy security clearances. I would definitely use his services or recommend him to other people. If you chose his services you would not regret it.

Security Clearance Granted!

Posted by Charles

Hiring Ron was the smartest thing my family and I done. He was recommended to me by a local defense attorney, by saying this is the person that can get you through the Department of Defense clearance nightmare.

At first I questioned the amount of money needed to hire Ron, but after attempting to deal with this on my own, I realized this man has a gift and expertise like no other. He was compassionate to my situation, he listened and was dedicated to see me and my family through this. He knows how to work through the red tape bureaucracy. He made the process easy for me, he was professional and stayed in constant contact with me throughout the entire ordeal. Ron got my family back their livelihood, without him we would have lost everything.

As defense contractor, having a top secret clearance is required for me to do my job, without it I am no longer unemployable and would have to find another way to provide for my family.

If anyone reading this has any question of whether its worth paying the money and hiring Ron, let me assure you, IT’S WORTH EVERY PENNY! RON SAVED ME AND MY FAMILY!

Ron Comes Through For You

Posted by anonymous

In applying for a security clearance, a situation from 30 years ago became a potential issue. Ron provided clear, expert guidance when I needed it most. He was available in a very timely way and guided me through what could have been a very stressful time. Ron is five stars all the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.

SECURITY CLEARANCE REVOCATION REVERSED!!!

Posted by Deshun

Ron Sykstus is a professional and caring attorney. My process of appeal took close to three years from start to finish and during the entire time Ron Sykstus was helpful and attentive to my needs. Due to distance, I was unable to visit with Attorney Sykstus in-person so all of our case communication and preparations were conducted either by phone or email. Even though our communication means where limited to email or phone by no means subtracted from his exemplary service. Ron displayed expert knowledge of the security clearance revocation process and presented me with a specific plan of attack he thought would be successful. As I stated before this process took close to three years so I was surprised that he kept in touch with me over the long waiting period. It showed me he truly cared about me and my situation and I was not just another case file. In preparation for my hearing, Ron coordinated with me and my witnesses and prepared them for the final hearing before the Administrative Law Judge. At this time he had a torn rotator cuff but it did not deter him from advocating on my behalf. Ron appeared at my final hearing with his arm in a sling, giving the argument of my life and we WON. He won my case and I am now back to work at full duty capacity. Attorney Ron Sykstus is a great attorney and I would recommend him to anyone with a security clearance issue.

Security Clearance GRANTED

Posted by Tim

As soon as my wife received her Statement of Reasons explaining that her clearance re-investigation was being denied based on guideline F, I began performing an extensive amount of research on who to hire to represent her. I talked to at least 10 other offices before getting a chance to speak with Ron. I knew immediately that he was who we would be hiring. He is very clear and concise from the beginning but also seemed to be way more knowledgeable and reassuring than any of the others. He performed as he said he would throughout the entire process. He was able to get the hearing canceled and have her clearance granted a week before the hearing was to take place and we couldn’t be any happier.
