Great Attorney

I had a NOV from TSA for $1500 if I paid within a few days ($3000 if I waited). This seemed higher than I would have imagined, so I started looking online for attorneys who specialize in this field online. I had some reservations about working with Scott as there are so many scams out there, but a...fter doing some research, I decided it was worth the chance, and am very glad I reached out. Scott's communication was excellent and he saved me a good bit of money, and did so in a very short amount of time (in less than 2 days the case was settled!). Plus, he gave me a lot of peace of mind about the process, and answered any questions I had, that I would have had trouble answering just dealing with TSA alone. I highly recommend him to anybody who gets a NOV or has similar issues or concerns with TSA.

Knowledgeable and Expediate

Mr. Klippel handled my situation with the upmost respect. He is knowledgeable and experienced about TSA's rules and procedures. I was very impressed with his experience. Most federal rules, statues, procedures aren't always user friendly. Mr. Klippel can help walk you right throughout he process..., which takes burden off of you. Scott is a class "A" guy and would certainly recommend him for and TSA related issue. THANK YOU MR. SCOTT!!!

The Reviews Are Real

This review is real as well. Scott did what he said and when he said he would. His experience is validated by his knowledge and actions. If you are at all considering quickly getting a reduced TSA NOV, stop here and contact him. No BS and its over with faster than wondering what to do. No Charge for ...the consult and you'll get the facts as he knows them.

Scott Klippel is a consummate professional!!

There are certain things we would never dream we might carry into an airport TSA checkpoint. Imagine my horror when I was cleared through the metal detector only to find out I had neglected to remove the unthinkable from a carry-on bag in my rush out the door. TSA allowed me to proceed with my fli...ght schedule without my unthinkable, of course. I scoured the internet for attorneys who handle this type of situation. Scott Klippel’s name appeared. I compared his name & credentials to many others I found online. The choice, to me, was simple. When I received my Notice of Violation (NOV) from the TSA, I contacted Scott in hopes he might take some of the sting out of the experience. Scott immediately put my mind at ease. He told me exactly what would happen & even predicted the precise settlement amount he might negotiate on my behalf. I could not have wished for a better champion to represent me. I’m very grateful for his expertise & his kind, calm demeanor through my whole NOV experience. If the unthinkable happens to you, I highly recommend Scott Klippel.

Worth Every Moment of My Time

As an extremely busy professional, I have no time to waste on frivolous endeavors. Scott made the TSA NOV defense process remarkably simple, saved me hundreds of dollars, and most importantly didn’t waste one second of my time. I could not be more impressed with the accuracy of his predictive knowled...ge and expediency of work. I would never have thought it possible to petition for reduce penalty, be granted a settlement and officially settle a federal government civil penalty in a matter of hours had I not experienced myself. If you’re facing the same TSA NOV as I did, do not hesitate to allow Scott to represent your interest for quick and efficient results.
