GREAT help!

Scott was so helpful on understanding the NOV. Getting a notice from Homeland Security can create a lot of anxiety, especially when it comes with a hefty fine. Scott helped get the fine reduced and helped to calm my anxiety. He was patient and kind. I highly recommend Scott if you find yourself, like... I did- making a STUPID mistake. He was wonderful to work with!

Very Pleased

When I realized I had a concealed weapon going through TSA, I was devastated and afraid. I was told I would lose my privileges and be fined. I began to research and found Mr. Klippel's add. I was apprehension but when I talked to him, I realized he had immediate knowledge and knew what to do. Eve...rything he told me came to pass and I am truly grateful for his services. Not only was the fine reduced, but the case also resolved. Thank you, Mr. Klippel!

Peace of Mind!

Scott is a real pro! I cannot begin to thank him enough! I never imagined that I would be in the situation where I was rushing out the door to the airport without doing the most basic thing: checking my bag for prohibited items. I take my bag with me everywhere without checking it and habit patterns ...are just that, habits. It wasn't until the shutdown of the line that I had realized what I had failed to do. That's when the panic set in and tears started slowly flowibg down my face despite trying to maintain composure. When I returned home and received the NOV, I looked online for an attorney and Scott was the first name that popped up. I decided to send him a message despite my husband's hesitation. What did I have to lose as this point? Scott contacted me quickly thereafter, I told him the fine amount and he practically knew the situation simply based on that alone. I was impressed! He explained his background, answered questions, and marked all the boxes that would put my mind at ease. Could it be this smooth after all that had happened? I decided to give it a go and I hired Scott and yes, it was that smooth! Within less than a week, the case was settled for far less than the original amount charged, paid, and here we are! Scott isn't just good! He's the best, especially if you're looking for peace of mind after a silly life mistake like this!

Don't hesitate, call Scott!

Getting a TSA NOV was extremely stressful. I have never been in any kind of legal or criminal trouble ever before and I was so overwhelmed with the potential high $$ fines plus potential issues when going through security for future flights. I found Scott on the internet while reading about all the... various experiences of other people who had also gotten TSA NOVs. I am so glad I called Scott. He calmly answered all my questions and walked me through the process. He is VERY knowledgeable about TSA and the ins and outs of dealing with them. He explained everything that would happen. He knows the inner workings of TSA and combined with his excellent knowledge as a lawyer he was able to get my fine significantly reduced and TSA has closed my case with no further penalties. I am now able to fly and go through security with no black marks on my record. Do not hesitate, call Scott immediately. We settled with TSA within just a couple of days. A huge weight has been lifted thanks to Scott.

Hire Immediately

As an attorney myself, I give Scott the highest endorsement. We are extremely thankful he represented a family member who had a more complicated and tenuous TSA situation than most. His knowledge, experience, and excellent advocacy returned a prompt result, saving us thousands and giving great peac...e of mind through the process. There is no substitute for Scott’s understanding and ability to effectively navigate the system for clients.
