NOV CASE

Scott was an incredible help in settling my case after accidentally bringing a firearm through TSA. He worked quickly, was always available to communicate clearly, and was very straightforward throughout the process. Not only did he handle everything professionally, but he also managed to lower my pa...yment, which was a huge relief. He has lots of experience. I highly recommend Scott to anyone dealing with a similar situation—he made a difficult experience much easier to navigate.

GREAT help!

Scott was so helpful on understanding the NOV. Getting a notice from Homeland Security can create a lot of anxiety, especially when it comes with a hefty fine. Scott helped get the fine reduced and helped to calm my anxiety. He was patient and kind. I highly recommend Scott if you find yourself, like... I did- making a STUPID mistake. He was wonderful to work with!

Amazing Job

Scott managed to work with the TSA to get my civil penalty cut by more than half. He was very courteous, professional, and timely. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer!

Best of the best and CASE RESOLVED ASAP!

my heart sank when I went through TSA and my bag was pulled for additional screening only to realize that I had taken my gun out of my truck and left it in the bag I was going through the airport with. I was lucky and no police charges, but was notified of the MASSIVE Fine I would be getting in the m...ail. I was referred to Scott by a friend who did the exact same thing. He said Scott Walked him through the entire process and took the anxiety out of the situation, but was transparent about next steps. And that is exactly what happened with me. Scott knows how to help you- I didn't want to run the risk of self representing and appealing this fine and it taking up to a year to resolve. Scott was able to help me in a matter of 48 hours- case closed, and I was able to reduce the fine down to an MUCH MUCH MUCH better rate than what TSA originally presented. Do not have any hesitations he will walk you through step by step and help you get this knocked down as low as it can possibly go. 100% Recommend Scott if you made the same mistake I did.

Fast and efficient!

Like most people that hire Scott, I accidentally brought a firearm to a TSA checkpoint. Do not hesitate to hire Scott if this happens to you. His communication and explanation of what will happen next was top notch. His lawyer fee was worth how easy this whole process became, let alone chopping the a...mount I owed the IRS in half. Don’t fret, hire Scott!
