My name is Scott Klippel. I represent passengers who were found with firearms at TSA passenger security checkpoints in the civil proceedings that TSA initiates against them. These proceedings involve the issuance by TSA of a Notice of Violation which seeks to impose a civil monetary penalty. I am not involved in any defense regarding criminal charges which might have been filed against the passenger.
I started TSA NOV Defense shortly after I left the Transportation Security Administration in April, 2013. I was an attorney with TSA from its inception in 2002 and I was in charge of TSA’s Chief Counsel’s Office Notice of Violation Program from July, 2007 until I left TSA. During that time period, on behalf of TSA, I handled over 4,500 NOV cases through the Informal Conference process.
I graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 1976. (Hook’em Horns). After law school, I spent 5 years with the Kings County (Brooklyn, NY) District Attorney’s Office; when I left, I was in the Homicide Bureau where I was responsible for trying only murder cases. I was fortunate to be able to return to Austin where I worked for the Texas Prosecutor Council and the Texas Attorney General’s Office. In 1985, I opened my private law office in Austin for the practice of criminal defense. In 2000, I moved to the Washington DC area and worked for the U.S. Department of Justice. Shortly after 9/11 and the creation of the Transportation Security Administration, I joined TSA’s Office of Chief Counsel.
When I retired from TSA, I moved to the Holy Land. Feel free to confirm this at the Texas Bar website - . Click on "Find a Lawyer", enter my name and you will see the Texas Bar has my office listed as in Jerusalem, Israel and that I have been licensed in Texas since 1976.
I would be most happy to provide you, without charge, with an overview of TSA’s Notice of Violation process, so that you can better understand what you or your client is facing and can make an intelligent decision on how you wish to proceed with the NOV that was issued or will be issued.
My flat fee for representing someone is $400 and is payable throught PayPal.
I look forward to talking to you.

Friendly and effective
I received a notice from TSA telling me to pay up to $3000 for carrying a pistol into an airport (not my brightest moment). After contacting a local lawyer for the court case he recommended Scott for the civil penalties. I contacted Scott on a Wednesday, we spoke, he stated exactly what would happen ...

Delivers on his promise. Simply the best at what he does.
Very experienced and an expert what he does. Most likely because he now works directly with TSA prosecutors, a job he once held. Answers his own phone. Very surprised that he conducts all of his business from his home in Israel. Very proactive. Settled my case very fast. Faster than TSA. I would cons...

True Professional
I tend to be a skeptic when hiring and or dealing with people and companies on line. Especially those who reside in other countries. But Scott put me at ease from the very beginning, both with his knowledge of the subject at hand, and his quick and concise explanation of exactly what I had just gon...

*** TOTALLY IMPRESSED ***
TOTALLY IMPRESSED When you find yourself on the "wrong side of the law" with a stupid mistake, it's common to try to figure out how to lessen the blow of a sledge-hammer fine. That's exactly what Scott Klippel was able to do for me. In less than 6 hours after I contacted Scott (I may be the ex...
