Alex is a skilled advocate who leads the Security Threat Assessment practice group at the National Security Law Firm where he focuses on defending clients in Global Entry appeals, Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) appeals and waivers, Hazardous Materials Endorsement (HME) appeals and waivers, and customs seizures.
The National Security Law Firm is renowned for having one of the largest and most experienced Security Threat Assessment practice groups in the nation. No firm has a stronger record of success in filing claims in these complex areas of law. Moreover, only a handful of attorneys in the United States have any knowledge or experience in these highly specialized areas of law, making Alex an invaluable asset.
Alex works relentlessly to obtain information from the government through requests made under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) in order to support his clients’ cases. This skill is vital to being able to effectively and successfully represent clients in these areas of law, where the government is notorious for denying and/or revoking credentials without justification or explanation.
Alex also understands that, in order to stay a step ahead of an entity with unlimited resources, persistence and hard work are crucial as the government will often initially deny or redact requests made under the FOIA statute. With Alex’s experience and background, however, he is able to overcome governmental resistance to providing further information.
In recognition of Alex’s abilities as an advocate, clients have described him as “an outstanding attorney-at-law who stands head and shoulders above his peers,” and someone whose “responsiveness, sound judgement, spot-on guidance, insights, and skill demonstrated . . . the marks of an exceptional lawyer – second to none.”
Whether he is drafting an appeal regarding your security threat assessment denial and/or revocation or responding on your behalf to a customs seizure, Alex’s superb written and oral advocacy skills and ability to craft persuasive, novel, and complex legal arguments will maximize your chances of success.
Alex graduated with honors from Ohio University in 2008. He went to law school at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, where he graduated in 2011. Alex is admitted to practice law in Ohio.
