TSA NOV

Excellent Attorney!! I am so happy I found Scott Klippel online to help represent my TSA Violation. I've never hired an attorney online before but after reading all the the positive reviews of Scott and learning about his background and especially after my first consult appointment, I knew I found t...he perfect representation for my case. Scott really understands this process better than anyone in the country, he is a true professional, gets results and responds almost immediately if you have questions or concerns. I ended up getting a very favorable settlement and I cannot thank Scott enough. You would not be serving yourself well without good counsel representing you and I highly recommend Scott.

Worth every penny

I got a surprise TSA NOV letter for $4k from an incident 4 years and 1 month earlier. I screwed up and failed to recall and see my gun (trigger locked and in a black soft sided case) in a black carry-on that I put in there a month earlier. I did some research and found many attorneys that do this ...type of representation. Attorney Scott Klippel stood-out and the client reviews were stellar. I sent him an email late one night. The next morning he called me at 8:15am and we spoke for about 30 minutes. I hired him because of his experience and caring attitude. At 1:30pm (5 hours after picking up the phone) I received a satisfying email notifying me my case was settled. Everything was taken care of by Scott exactly as he stated he would. I couldn’t be more pleased by his professionalism & representation. I highly recommend him.

Very Happy to Have Found Scott

I was not sure how I should handle my TSA NOV when it arrived so I let it sit for about 2 weeks during the holidays and then started to panic knowing that my response and/or payment was coming due soon. I luckily found Scott after a couple of internet searches and proceeded to read the reviews poste...d on this site. I was hesitant at first because it seemed just too good to be true. I reached out to Scott and he quickly replied with a phone call. I was pleasantly surprised at how professional and knowledgable Scott was on the TSA NOV game and was confident Scott would be able to help me after our first conversation. Within 48 hours of working with Scott my fine was severely reduced by the TSA, payment was sent, and my case closed. Cannot say how happy I am to have found Scott and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone that has found themselves in the same situation with a TSA NOV.

The best Lawyer for TSA violations!

Mr Klippel got right on my case. He had my case with TSA settled for an extreme reduced amount. My case was settled within 2 days of contacting him. He was very professional and fast to respond to my email and calls. Mr Klippel makes your process painless and easy. He files all necessary paperwork fo...r you and emails the appropriate papers for you to fill out. I can’t thank him enough! Thank you Mr Klippel!
