GENERAL

Discovered Scott Klippel after sifting through several other lawyer services. While I'm sure the others were good, I was initially impressed by his client feedback, very positive. Talk to Scott via email and cell phone. He told me what he could do, and he did it. A very positive and a very affable m...an. Give this man a shot, I think you will be very happy, I am.

Exactly as promised

Mr. Klippel explained every step of the process. He was up front and honest. He got my fine cut in half and gave me instructions on how to prevent inadvertently violating the rules in the future. It was less than a day after hiring him that my fine was reduced and my case completed. This was an ex...tremely stressful time and Mr. Klippel walked me through everything and gave me the reassurance I needed. I understand the stress as well as the skepticism around hiring someone online but this is not a scam. He did exactly what he said he would when he said he would. Very reassuring, professional and honest. He answered all my calls and emails promptly. Hopefully I never need this service again but if I do I will not hesitate to contact Mr. Klippel.

Hiring Scott Klippel was the best decision I made!

I accidentally left a pistol in my travel bag. OMG! I finally received my letter and fine from TSA. After researching the internet I found Attorney Klippel's website. To be honest I thought he was too good to be true. I did check the Texas Bar database, I read the reviews on this site (Avvo) and ...I researched him as much as I could. I felt comfortable enough to hire him. He did exactly what he said! He is very thorough, all business and obviously he is extremely knowledgeable with TSA issues. Best decision I made since this happened! I highly recommend him. He had my case settled quickly and for much less. Excellent!!

The Reviews Are Real

This review is real as well. Scott did what he said and when he said he would. His experience is validated by his knowledge and actions. If you are at all considering quickly getting a reduced TSA NOV, stop here and contact him. No BS and its over with faster than wondering what to do. No Charge for ...the consult and you'll get the facts as he knows them.

Scott Klippel is a consummate professional!!

There are certain things we would never dream we might carry into an airport TSA checkpoint. Imagine my horror when I was cleared through the metal detector only to find out I had neglected to remove the unthinkable from a carry-on bag in my rush out the door. TSA allowed me to proceed with my fli...ght schedule without my unthinkable, of course. I scoured the internet for attorneys who handle this type of situation. Scott Klippel’s name appeared. I compared his name & credentials to many others I found online. The choice, to me, was simple. When I received my Notice of Violation (NOV) from the TSA, I contacted Scott in hopes he might take some of the sting out of the experience. Scott immediately put my mind at ease. He told me exactly what would happen & even predicted the precise settlement amount he might negotiate on my behalf. I could not have wished for a better champion to represent me. I’m very grateful for his expertise & his kind, calm demeanor through my whole NOV experience. If the unthinkable happens to you, I highly recommend Scott Klippel.
