Very knowledgeable, excellent communication, true to his word

I found Scott doing an internet search for my TSANOV. I was skeptical at first about hiring him, as I had never hired a lawyer before, and he was out of the country. I prayed over the matter and decided to take a chance. Out of the gate Scott had excellent communication, as in, he will contact you... in a timely manner and fill you in on what the process will entail. I was kind of shocked at the way I was treated, because I guess I had negative expectations of what a lawyer would be like. It was obvious he knew what he was doing with the TSA. He used to work for them in a high capacity, and he knows their processes and what to expect from them. He claimed that my fine would be cut in half from what it was. Well, true to his word, TSA sent their letter with the fine cut in half just as he has claimed. It did take a little waiting for TSA to make their decision, and Scott had told me upfront that sometimes this happens based on who reviews the case there. The wait was no doing on his part. This is a government agency we are dealing with here. Honestly, I have a lot of respect for Scott. I was scared about doing this, and also about what had happened with TSA in the first place. There is no doubt in my mind I made the right call to hire him! One additional benefit is that he spent time going over strategies to prevent this from happening again. I appreciate that kind of care. Should you take the plunge and hire him? Without a doubt!

Amazing to Work With!

I hired Mr. Klippel in February 2019 and my case was closed in February 2021. He emailed me every month with updates for the entirety of the two years and always kept me in the loop. He is very knowledgeable and made sure I understood the process from start to finish. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Kl...ippel!

Thank you so much. Everyone reading this should know that this client hired me right after the incident at the airport took place. It took TSA over 2 years to file the Notice of Violation. Every month I checked with TSA to see if they had filed the NOV. When they hadn't, I emailed my client stating that the NOV hadn't been filed and I'd check again next month. Finally, when it was filed, I was able to settle the case immediately, even before my client got the NOV in the mail.

TSA NOV ASSISTANCE W/REMARKABLE RESULTS

I found Scott@TSANOVDefense by accident when researching how to best deal with my TSA NOV. After emailing Scott we set up a phone consultation time to review the details of my case and Scott agreed to represent me. Scott is very knowledgeable and congenial as well as a no nonsense kind of guy. His... expertise in this field is unmatched based on my search for an informed TSA NOV attorney. I highly recommend Scott as the go to lawyer for TSA NOV legal defense! As a result of Scott's representation I saved $900 off the base line settlement the TSA offered. I could not be more content with my interaction and the results of working with Scott.

The go-to attorney for TSA issues

From the moment I contacted Scott to discuss my TSA Notice of Violation, he was very responsive and professional. Scott has extensive knowledge and experience dealing with the TSA and was able to settle my case for a substantial savings from what TSA initially offered. His timely updates during eve...ry step of the process were reassuring. I recommend Scott without reservation to anyone needing help with a TSA NOV.

Great and Efficient Experience

He was a pleasure to work with. He answered the first time I called, and was extremely knowledgeable on the inner workings of the TSA. I was slightly concerned about the fact that he was based overseas, but he did enough to ease those concerns that I hired him anyway. So glad I did! His being over...seas was completely a non-factor. He explained everything to me, and everything went exactly as he had explained it would. Strongly recommend using Scott!
