Tsa civil case scared out of my mind.

I was extremely lucky to find Scott he was a blessing. I was totally terrified of what was to come and with most government issues there isn’t much clarity. It just felt wrong to comply with what they asked in fear of criminal charges the could come later. When my local attorneys didn’t know what t...o do, and then the best criminal one’s in my area didn’t know what to do I was at a loss and terrified with lots of lost sleep. Enter me googling for hours as a last resort and calling and networking and eventually finding Scott. Don’t mess with doing it yourself or trying to retain any other attorney save the time and the sleepless nights. I assure you if you have a TSA civil matter just let Scott do what he does he is knowledgeable with clear instructions on what to do. Thanks again Scott for giving me back sleep filled nights.

Stress Free Stayed on top of everything

Scott handled everything from start to finish with my case. Everything he said he would do he did. Very easy to communicate and work with.

NOV Lawyer

Unfortunately, I accidentally left my loaded firearm in a hidden compartment within my backpack. TSA stopped me and I was subsequently issued a NOV (Notice of Violation). I found Scott's information online and hired him to represent me. He was very prompt, knowledgeable, and empathetic. He warned me ...of the extreme delays and said not to worry. He gave me specific instructions and also coached me up on how to avoid another violation in the future. This was simply a dumb mistake, but he gave me a real-world solution on how to remind myself that I have my firearm in my backpack. Like Scott mentioned, it took TSA over 2 years to issue the NOV. He handled it immediately, got my civil penalty reduced, and settled the case pretty much immediately. I will refer him to anyone that needs his services.

TSA NOV - Resolution

I hired Scott to resolve a TSA NOV - that I felt needed to be handled swiftly. Scott was responsive and effective in his communications. Our discussions were very helpful and information and highly effective. Scott knows the law, the processes, and what to expect with extreme confidence. The ...matter was settled within about a weeks time - which I found astonishing. I felt comfortable talking and communicating with Scott throughout the process. I hope I don't need Scott's services again - but would not hesitate to hire him again if the need were to arise. He is particularly good with these TSA NOV's.

Delivered Exactly What He Promised

I contacted Scott after forgetting something I should never forgotten. If you're looking at this review, you know what that is. Scott was very clear on the process and what he will do during his representation. The issue played out precisely as he explained. He resolved my matter in a very timely man...ner. The outcome was exactly as he predicted. I am an attorney and I hire many attorneys as part of my job. I wish all attorneys were as clear and efficient as Scott. I strongly recommend Scott to take you through the NOV process.
