After being disappointed with the patent process and delay, my patent prosecution was expedited at no extra cost.

I’ve been working and known this attorney for over a decade. He is realistic on turn around times for patents to be allowed, and has always provided undivided attention to my needs and requirements. If you are looking for loyal and honest attorneys, Lev Iwashko and his team are the ones for you.

I worked with Brett to submit my Global Entry appeal and I absolutely recommend him, my experience with him and his service went beyond my expectations. Specifically, Brett is extremely responsive, and reached me same day various times, as we were compiling the appeal documents. Brett explained what I needed to do, was very clear in explaining the process; not only that he made me feel that I and my case was prioritized. For example in my case he provided a 40 page draft for review on new years day after I collected the needed information over the Christmas holiday. In addition, Brett compiled an appeal that surpassed my expectations. It was of course based on many documents I had to provide, but being responsive to Brett's communication and providing the needed documents is needed for him to present the strongest appeal. Lastly, Brett provided a compelling and extremely thorough appeal. When I reviewed my appeal it impacted me personally due to the way he presented the information and summarized the details. I appreciated his support and guidance in what has always been the somewhat difficult situation for me of a GE denial. I highly recommend Brett and was very fortunate to find his services.

I can't stress enough how well put my security clearance appeal packet was. Working with Brett has been great, highly recommend his services for his honest advice, professionalism and quick responses.

I came to Brett when I was facing denial of my security clearance. Brett was able to work with me during this difficult time and overturn the decision so that I can get back to work. Brett is always quick to respond via email or phone. One of the best lawyer experiences I have had.

Working with Brett was a pleasure. He was quick to respond (to multiple questions, sometimes even late during the day), always carried himself professionally, and yet added a personal touch to his approach. He made me feel like more than just a paying client and expressed genuine desire to address my legal concerns. I highly recommend Brett.

Very professional

Brian was of great help and was willing to listen and give advice in my initial conversation about my case. I am a novice to the security clearance process and he recommended further employment lawyer referrals to get more information on my case. I would use his services if I ever come across another security clearance procedure prior to proceeding as I see it’s essential.

"A denial is not the end...we can fight, you can win" is exactly how it went down. My case seemed impossible but I just received confirmation that my TWIC is approved after a denial. Thank you Brett O'Brien now I can continue to work to take care of my family.

After finding myself in a bit of a bind, I was introduced to Lev Iwashko, as a possible attorney. From the beginning he exuded competence and wisdom in the direction he believed my defense should take. I have (regrettably) had several attorneys over the years and thus have experience with this and others to compare him to. The best aspects of Mr. Iwashko’s work can be summed up with just three words: Efficiency, Availability, and Strategy. Efficiency was the first thing I noticed with him. While he in no way cut any corners, nor did he waste any effort attempting hopeless motions or a multitude of random legal motions and maneuvers which would have not been a part of a master plan, and would also have been billable. Mr Iwashko was very up front about both the reality of my situation, and the best course of action to take. Availability was another aspect of Mr. Iwashko’s practice. He was always there in my times of need. It did not take days to get a response, even if I just needed to have my nerves put at ease, or I had a new idea to run by him. I was never left “out in the rain,” to worry on my own. I have had other attorneys in the past that would only contact me the day before a court appearance. It was a stress reducing aspect of Mr. Iwashko’s personality to truly care about both me and my plight. Strategy was another welcome change. Mr. Iwashko reviewed my entire case at the beginning and spent time looking at all the possible ways to construct a defense for me. When we next met, he told me all the possibilities, their likelihood of success, and TOGETHER we decided which path to take. I never once felt talked down to or had any lack of understanding of the process as Mr Iwashko took the time to explain every little thing I did I not understand. These three aspects alone should quality Mr Iwashko into the lawyers hall of fame (is there such a thing?). While dealing with the court system could never be called stress free, Mr Iwashko is a magician at reducing the stress and turmoil of the process. P.S. While his name is spelled Iwashko, the correct pronunciation is “I-vash-ko.” P.S.S. HIRE THIS MAN!!!! I cannot stress that enough.

Brett's firm was professional and provided prompt, efficient service. Highly recommend! He helped me get my Global Entry.

I was denied TWIC aggravated assault with a weapon from a dwi with my vehicle. My entire life revolved around the twic card. I contacted Mr brett o brien and he hit a home run and i got my Twic card. I cant say enough besides how well he put together my case. Very helpful and honest would recommend him to anyone who get denied a TWIC.
