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.

*** TOTALLY IMPRESSED ***

TOTALLY IMPRESSED When you find yourself on the "wrong side of the law" with a stupid mistake, it's common to try to figure out how to lessen the blow of a sledge-hammer fine. That's exactly what Scott Klippel was able to do for me. In less than 6 hours after I contacted Scott (I may be the ex...ception), Scott contacted me via phone and comprehensively quizzed my circumstances to characterize my error, contacted TSA (* save yourself the headache, do not respond to TSA yourself, Scott will do all the legwork *), negotiated a settlement 1/4th of the original fine level, so that I could pay the fine via internet. DONE same day! Scott's "bedside manners" are impeccable, he knows exactly what needs to be said (and unsaid) so just let him guide you for the fastest and best resolution possible. He's been on both sides of the situation (4500+ times on the TSA side) so you're in good hands, start to finish.

Highly Recommend

I would HIGHLY recommend Scott to handle any NOV issues. He handled my case promptly and professionally. It was handled in the manner he indicated in his initial consultation.

The Best

Scott knows TSA NOVs better than anyone you will find out there. He explains every part of the process and every possible implication. I can't recommend him enough!
