Best Experience Ever with an Attorney!

If you have a TSA violation, contact Scott Klippel! I reached out to Scott the evening of 9/3/20 and he called me right away and explained the process. Within a week, my case had been taken care of and he saved me a lot of money! Very knowledgeable and knows exactly what to do!

Extremely Trustworthy and Get's the Job Done Right

So I accidentally left a firearm in my carry-on for the second time when traveling and TSA came back telling me I owed $10,000, which I could not afford, especially during this Coronavirus crisis. My wife found Scott online and said he had good reviews but she was a little nervous because he was base...d out of Israel. I looked Scott up on Linkedin myself and from what I could tell from the reviews and from researching him, he was legit. But just to make sure I could trust him I decided to ask him if he would be available for a video call. He gladly took the time the next day to FaceTime me free of charge and it reassured me he was the same man in this picture and that he also had the knowledge and experience to proceed forward with the case. Scott was a pleasure to work with and extremely professional and trustworthy.. Also an excellent communicator. You don't find many attorney's as good as Scott and he was able to cut my fee by more than half!! Which is incredible for a second time offender like myself. He also gave me new ideas to try to help remember if I have my concealed carry weapon in my bag or not so I can remove it and check it if I board another plane in the future. Highly highly highly recommend and don't be alarmed by the fact he is in Israel. He is still licensed and able to help you in the US and he is very good at negotiating with TSA. Huge thank you to Scott.

EXCELLENT. Never Missed a Nuance. Never Missed a Beat.

Scott delivered exactly what he said he would. Super reliable, super attentive, super good and keeping you updated, handled a lot of nightmarish admin. stuff that only an attorney with connections could handle. Made a huge FUBAR into an inconvenience and resolved it with no lingering issues. Great jo...b. I highly recommend.

Amazingly efficient and highly versed in TSA cases

Working with Scott was an absolute pleasure. I accidentally took a bag through airport security that had a conceal carry weapon inside. He walked me through the whole process, and was incredibly knowledgeable. He knows all the ins and outs of the TSA and was able to negotiate a more than fair settl...ement. My only regret is that I didn't call him sooner. Would 100% recommend to anyone in a similar situation.
