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.

Scott was very professional, explained everything with great detail, and made the process very easy. He was courteous and provided a sense of comfort with the amount of knowledge he demonstrated. He was great to work with and made the process easy.
