Andrew provided excellent assistance in understanding the security investigation process and eased any concerns I had over the course of my investigation. Andrew made himself available to me and answered all of my questions in a reasonable and timely fashion.
Mr. Bakaj not only is an intelligent attorney but also a valuable Subject-Matter-Expert in his field specifically on security clearance, PPD-19 / DTM 13-008, intelligence community, and Department of Defense cases. Also, he is a very honest person who has a big heart with oozing integrity. Even though he is currently a private practice attorney, he is in fact a “public servant at heart.” After I perceived that my previous legal representative was very dishonest and stealing my financial resources. I started reading articles on Google search regarding my convoluted case to help myself that lead to Mr. Bakaj's website. My Dad collapsed and passed away due to my gloomy situation. Perhaps, an Angel from Heaven guided me to locate his website. At that time, I was absolutely not trusting to anyone. I contacted him out of curiosity. Mr. Bakaj exhibited his extraordinary talents by rapidly fathomed the complexities of my situation and able to provide me with immediate insight. Moreover, he was sincerely helpful to me. He took over my case while my former attorney was in the work of playing dirty. Fortunately, he caught him on the act. He took the time to develop strategic methods to win my case. Mr. Bakaj always courteous and very focus, making me feel that my case was the only special thing being handled by his firm, when in reality I was possibly one of the hundreds of clients. As a result, he was very successful in assisting me to prevail my case. My family members, friends, and colleagues were very impressed of him. Mr. Bakaj will use his expertise and knowledge to help those he believes will benefit to the greater good of this Nation. Therefore, I would highly recommend him to those who desire to win!
