Simply Fantastic

I worked with Scott to settle a TSA NOV case, throughout the entire process he was fast to respond, extremely knowledgeable, and transparent. Everything was resolved quickly and easily - Scott talked me through everything I needed to do on my end but honestly I felt like he did all the heavy lifting.... It was way better than having to go through the process on my own, I would highly recommend Scott to anyone that is expecting an NOV from TSA.

Delivered Exactly What He Promised

I contacted Scott after forgetting something I should never forgotten. If you're looking at this review, you know what that is. Scott was very clear on the process and what he will do during his representation. The issue played out precisely as he explained. He resolved my matter in a very timely man...ner. The outcome was exactly as he predicted. I am an attorney and I hire many attorneys as part of my job. I wish all attorneys were as clear and efficient as Scott. I strongly recommend Scott to take you through the NOV process.

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...ider no one else

HUGE Help in moment of Forgetfulness

I hired Scott from a friend's recommendation that had used Scott, after I had forgotten to remove my firearm from my backpack from a recent out of town business trip where I drove and could take my firearm. I was flying to another location and forgot to remove it. The TSA "reminded me" that I had f...orgotten to remove it before entering the TSA line. To my great astonishment, I had a situation that called on legal representation and was thankful Scott came to the rescue. Scott settled my case with the TSA within a couple of days of hiring him. If you find yourself in the situation I was in, I would recommend reaching out to Scott who is familiar with the TSA. His fee is well worth utilizing his expertise to deal with the TSA rather than doing it yourself.

Great commnication and results with TSA NOV

Working with Scott was a real pleasure. He took as much of the headache out of getting a TSA Notice of Violation as he possibly could, and he significantly reduced the civil penalty from the TSA offered. From our very first conversation, I trused that Scott had my best interests at heart and that h...e knew what he was doing in working to resolve my TSA NOV. Scott communicated regularly with me about the process and never took more than a couple hours to reply to emails or phone calls. When the TSA NOV fine came through, Scott was able to get the TSA to settle for less than a quarter of their initial request. The information that Scott provided will also help me avoid ever having to go through this again.
