Scott is legit and knows about NOV!

After receiving a Notice of Violation from TSA, we decided to call Scott after inadvertently carrying a gun within the confines of a TSA security checkpoint. At first, we were skeptical because Scott resides out of the country but he immediately provided the reassurances we needed by providing an ove...rview of the process, evidence of license to practice, and a thorough explanation that we would pay the NOV directly to the government website (which was the same address in the NOV). Scott was transparent from the start and extremely knowledgeable about the process, while many other lawyers we called prior didn't have a clue about how to handle this type of case. He was professional in his interactions, and provided the clarity that my wife and I both needed. He was quick to respond and we had our case settled and closed in less than a week. Although he saved us about $600, the peace of mind was priceless to us; Scott had our back.

John

Scott Klippel, whom I hired to help me work through an issue I had with the TSA. He was professional and explained all issues and possibilities with my particular case. He was thorough in his explanation and was able to put me at ease knowing he had extensive experience with my specific type of TSA v...iolation. Scott was able to dramatically reduce my fine and had it completely resolved and case closed within days of our original conversation.

Don't hesitate, call Scott!

Getting a TSA NOV was extremely stressful. I have never been in any kind of legal or criminal trouble ever before and I was so overwhelmed with the potential high $$ fines plus potential issues when going through security for future flights. I found Scott on the internet while reading about all the... various experiences of other people who had also gotten TSA NOVs. I am so glad I called Scott. He calmly answered all my questions and walked me through the process. He is VERY knowledgeable about TSA and the ins and outs of dealing with them. He explained everything that would happen. He knows the inner workings of TSA and combined with his excellent knowledge as a lawyer he was able to get my fine significantly reduced and TSA has closed my case with no further penalties. I am now able to fly and go through security with no black marks on my record. Do not hesitate, call Scott immediately. We settled with TSA within just a couple of days. A huge weight has been lifted thanks to Scott.

Easy to work with

Scott handled my TSA NOV with ease and clarity. I could not have hoped for a better attorney to work with.

Absolutely Legitimate

Scott was communicative, efficient and knowledgeable about TSA Notices of Violation. His fee is more than reasonable and will result in a reduction in fines and a very quick resolution to your TSA NOV. Would utilize his services again in a heartbeat, but rest assured I will never need to.
