My name is Scott Klippel. I represent passengers who were found with firearms at TSA passenger security checkpoints in the civil proceedings that TSA initiates against them. These proceedings involve the issuance by TSA of a Notice of Violation which seeks to impose a civil monetary penalty. I am not involved in any defense regarding criminal charges which might have been filed against the passenger.
I started TSA NOV Defense shortly after I left the Transportation Security Administration in April, 2013. I was an attorney with TSA from its inception in 2002 and I was in charge of TSA’s Chief Counsel’s Office Notice of Violation Program from July, 2007 until I left TSA. During that time period, on behalf of TSA, I handled over 4,500 NOV cases through the Informal Conference process.
I graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 1976. (Hook’em Horns). After law school, I spent 5 years with the Kings County (Brooklyn, NY) District Attorney’s Office; when I left, I was in the Homicide Bureau where I was responsible for trying only murder cases. I was fortunate to be able to return to Austin where I worked for the Texas Prosecutor Council and the Texas Attorney General’s Office. In 1985, I opened my private law office in Austin for the practice of criminal defense. In 2000, I moved to the Washington DC area and worked for the U.S. Department of Justice. Shortly after 9/11 and the creation of the Transportation Security Administration, I joined TSA’s Office of Chief Counsel.
When I retired from TSA, I moved to the Holy Land. Feel free to confirm this at the Texas Bar website - . Click on "Find a Lawyer", enter my name and you will see the Texas Bar has my office listed as in Jerusalem, Israel and that I have been licensed in Texas since 1976.
I would be most happy to provide you, without charge, with an overview of TSA’s Notice of Violation process, so that you can better understand what you or your client is facing and can make an intelligent decision on how you wish to proceed with the NOV that was issued or will be issued.
My flat fee for representing someone is $400 and is payable throught PayPal.
I look forward to talking to you.

Peace
Mr. Klippel was outstanding! He took away the anxiety and stress I had with my NOV. He took his time and answered all of my questions, which I had a lot, and never rushed me off the phone.

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.

You should hire Scott Klippel!
I inadvertently left a pistol in my briefcase, which got caught at the Houston airport going through security. It was quite a scene at the airport and the experience, police and TSA agents left me pretty worried about the potential hassle, fine and other consequences. On the recommendation of a fri...

He Did What He Said
Mr. Klippel was clear on the sequence of events after TSA located my fire arms. That provided some stress relief. When the TSA NOV was exactly what Mr. Klippel told me it would be, including fine amounts, I knew he was the attorney I needed. Once I received my NOV, I spoke with him, hired him, and...
