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.

Defense for TSA Violation

I had a violation with a handgun with TSA and was looking for an attorney to Litigate my case, I always use professional in there field when dealing with the Government. I was very hesitant at first with Scott for a couple of reasons, first he lives outside the US and second because when shopping f...or an attorney he was the only one that Google could find. Well I was very surprised on all fronts. Scott is Licensed in 2 states, and I believe at one time worked for TSA. I did check him out on Linkedin and Face book. Once I retained him he settled my case within 24 hours. This guy is the real deal.

The real deal, almost instant success

Scott knows his TSA stuff. Within a few hours, he had fully assessed the situation, and discovered that my NOV had been sent several times to the wrong address. A day later, he had settled the case for around 25% of the "asking price." This could have gone very wrong, but in his hands, it was ov...er and done quickly and with great savings.

Best TSA NOV Attorney!

I contacted several attorneys to discuss my TSA NOV. Scott Klippel was clear on the process, and the expected outcome for my case. After retained, Scott resolved my case in 24 hours, and the outcome was better than expected! I plan to never need defense of this charge again, but would recommend Sc...ott Klippel to anyone needing TSA NOV representation.

Very Knowledgeable, helpful and prompt to bring an easy resolution

Mr. Klippel is very well versed on Notice of Violations in regards to the TSA checkpoints that we all love so much. His council quickly resolved the issue with as little pain and money as possible and made it a simple process for me. He was very helpful in giving good clear advise and while h...e worked quickly for me he made time to answer any and all questions I had with patience, professionalism and wisdom.
