Outstanding National Security Clearance Representation – Dan Meyer & Tully Rinckey Navigating a complex DoD / DCSA security clearance inquiry can be a high-stakes and stressful experience. Finding seasoned, trustworthy legal counsel was critical to protecting my career and long record of national security service. Before retaining Tully Rinckey, I consulted with a few attorneys. From our very first call, Dan Meyer stood out immediately for his level-headed, no-nonsense, and practical approach. He gave me a realistic, straightforward assessment of my situation and mapped out a clear strategy grounded in national security law, DCSA adjudication standards, and SEAD 4 mitigating guidelines. Throughout the process, working with Dan was a true collaborative effort. He provided expert guidance as we assembled a comprehensive, evidence-backed response package—seamlessly integrating official documentation, scientific data, and multiple statements. He was receptive to feedback, respected my input as a client, and ensured our final filing was legally precise and thorough. Thanks to Dan’s strategic counsel and advocacy, we delivered a top-tier filing that gave me complete peace of mind. I have the highest respect for Dan Meyer and the team at Tully Rinckey. If you are a military veteran, federal employee, or defense contractor facing a security clearance review, Dan is the experienced, battle-tested attorney you want in your corner. Highly recommended based on my recent experience.

During my first phone call I felt heard and encouraged to pursue my claim. Response time was incredible throughout the process, and I felt supported through every step. I highly recommend this law firm and my attorney, Pamela Branch. They were professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout my case. We were able to reach a settlement through their hard work and dedication, and I couldn't be happier with the peace it has reintroduced into my life. I am very grateful and appreciative of the patience and kindness shown overall. Highly Recommend!
I contacted this firm on Saturday to explain my situation and was told that they would be able to assist me. I was told someone will call back on Monday, and I was informed that the consultation would cost $250, which had to be paid upfront. On Monday, I received a call back from the firm, and my consultation was scheduled for Thursday, July 23. I paid the $250 consultation fee upfront and received confirmation of my payment. I also received follow-up emails leading up to the appointment, including communications asking me to provide documents for the attorney to review, as well as communication on the morning of the scheduled consultation. I submitted the requested documents and information related to my case, and have attached screenshots of the payment confirmation and correspondence. My consultation was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. When the attorney, Stephanie Rapp, did not show up at the scheduled time, I repeatedly tried to reach out to the assistants. I was eventually told that the attorney was running late because her previous meeting was taking longer than expected. I was then asked to reschedule, and I agreed to a 1:00 p.m. appointment. Once again, the attorney did not show up. I had to repeatedly call the office and spent over 40 minutes trying to reach someone who could explain what was happening. I was transferred from one assistant to another before finally reaching the appropriate person. At no point did I receive advance notice or a clear explanation about why the second appointment was not taking place. Throughout this entire process, I have been extremely polite and patient with everyone I have spoken to. I have explained my situation respectfully and simply asked for clear communication and professionalism. What concerns me most is that I had already provided confidential documents, including private letter and information about my case, for the attorney to review. If the firm was unable to handle my case for any reason, that could have been communicated when I initially provided the name of the entity involved. Instead, I am now left wondering whether a decision was made after my confidential documents were reviewed. I requested a refund, but at this point, I am not even sure whether I will receive it because I have yet to receive written confirmation. I have also requested written reassurance that the confidential documents I submitted will remain private and will not be shared. This experience has been extremely unprofessional, frustrating, and overwhelmingly concerning, especially for someone already dealing with the stressful situation. I expected much better communication and professionalism from a law firm.
I had a very informative consultation with one of the Attorney Patricia Branch, in the firm which allowed me to feel relaxed/comfortable with sharing my thoughts on my employment status. She was well versed and informed on potential human resource issues as it relates to FMLA/ADA policies and procedures. I'd recommend others to get assistance from this firm if in need of clarification, confirmation or professional legal advice regarding an employment/employee situation.
Pamela Branch from Tully Rinckey is a superb attorney. She is extremely responsive and would frequently answer or send me emails late at night which showed me how much she cares about her clients. She came to hearing with all the materials that were needed for our defense in binders with tabs to make it easy to find whatever documents she needed or I needed to look at or react to. Regardless of how my opponent reacted or responded Ms. Branch was always professional and calm. We won our case but I plan to continue to have Ms. Branch represent me in other matters. I would highly recommend Ms. Branch.
