Fast Responses and Great Results

Scott knows how to deal with TSA and gets you thru the process quickly and easily and with as little pain and stress as possible. He is straight forward with what he thinks he can get done and will save you $$$ in your settlement with TSA. He was a pleasure to work I highly recommend his services.

Hire Scott!

I received my Notice of Violation 2 years after bringing my firearm through security. Of course it came at the worst time financially for me but I was so relieved that the notice was offering a $2000 pay off instead of the $4000 fee. Plus I thought to myself “hey, you brought the gun and this is your... punishment- at least you didn’t go to jail!” Right? I had a million questions about whether I was able to fly this whole time and if I was on some restricted list... which led me to Scott’s website. I hadn’t even considered a further reduction in the fee at that time. I read the reviews and requested a phone call. I’m so thankful for Scott. The process was insanely easy! We had a quick 5 minute discussion the first day, I then paid his $350 charge and he called me the following day to go into actual detail about my case. That phone call was at most 20 minutes. He submitted the paperwork to TSA and we got an acceptance response within 24 hours that they would accept $1000 to close the case. I saved $650 using Scott, saved myself many wasted hours on Google and writing into TSA myself. Scott has so much knowledge and confidence. Hire Scott!

Very knowledgeable, excellent communication, true to his word

I found Scott doing an internet search for my TSANOV. I was skeptical at first about hiring him, as I had never hired a lawyer before, and he was out of the country. I prayed over the matter and decided to take a chance. Out of the gate Scott had excellent communication, as in, he will contact you... in a timely manner and fill you in on what the process will entail. I was kind of shocked at the way I was treated, because I guess I had negative expectations of what a lawyer would be like. It was obvious he knew what he was doing with the TSA. He used to work for them in a high capacity, and he knows their processes and what to expect from them. He claimed that my fine would be cut in half from what it was. Well, true to his word, TSA sent their letter with the fine cut in half just as he has claimed. It did take a little waiting for TSA to make their decision, and Scott had told me upfront that sometimes this happens based on who reviews the case there. The wait was no doing on his part. This is a government agency we are dealing with here. Honestly, I have a lot of respect for Scott. I was scared about doing this, and also about what had happened with TSA in the first place. There is no doubt in my mind I made the right call to hire him! One additional benefit is that he spent time going over strategies to prevent this from happening again. I appreciate that kind of care. Should you take the plunge and hire him? Without a doubt!

TSA NOV ASSISTANCE W/REMARKABLE RESULTS

I found Scott@TSANOVDefense by accident when researching how to best deal with my TSA NOV. After emailing Scott we set up a phone consultation time to review the details of my case and Scott agreed to represent me. Scott is very knowledgeable and congenial as well as a no nonsense kind of guy. His... expertise in this field is unmatched based on my search for an informed TSA NOV attorney. I highly recommend Scott as the go to lawyer for TSA NOV legal defense! As a result of Scott's representation I saved $900 off the base line settlement the TSA offered. I could not be more content with my interaction and the results of working with Scott.

The go-to attorney for TSA issues

From the moment I contacted Scott to discuss my TSA Notice of Violation, he was very responsive and professional. Scott has extensive knowledge and experience dealing with the TSA and was able to settle my case for a substantial savings from what TSA initially offered. His timely updates during eve...ry step of the process were reassuring. I recommend Scott without reservation to anyone needing help with a TSA NOV.
