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.

Great Attorney and Person

Scott was knowledgeable, responsive, and caring. He got my case handled in a day. His fee is reasonable for the time he takes to talk to you, complete the paperwork and deal with TSA. He saved me $$. I highly recommend him!

Worth Every Moment of My Time

As an extremely busy professional, I have no time to waste on frivolous endeavors. Scott made the TSA NOV defense process remarkably simple, saved me hundreds of dollars, and most importantly didn’t waste one second of my time. I could not be more impressed with the accuracy of his predictive knowled...ge and expediency of work. I would never have thought it possible to petition for reduce penalty, be granted a settlement and officially settle a federal government civil penalty in a matter of hours had I not experienced myself. If you’re facing the same TSA NOV as I did, do not hesitate to allow Scott to represent your interest for quick and efficient results.

FAST and EASY!!

Don't hesitate. Scott made it a quick and painless process. He is easy to work with and resolved the case quickly.

Super easy process

Nothing is worse than the sinking feeling I got when I realized I had accidentally left my firearm in my bag at the airport. I immediately began looking into my options. I came across Scott on the internet and after reading MANY reviews decided to work with him to resolve the matter. Scott is EXTREME...LY responsive and VERY honest and upfront. From advising not only that I could handle it on my own, but explaining how to handle it. I chose to eliminate the headache of doing it myself and hired Scott. My case was legitimately resolved and handled within a matter of hours. Scott advised me prior to retaining him what the fee would be and even gave me a guarantee that if it surpassed his quote, he'd take it off of his fees. This reinforced to me that I could in fact handle it myself since it seemed standard practice that the TSA follows particular guidelines for reducing penalties, but let's be honest.. who wants to even deal with the headache? Was an extremely painless process and is now behind me. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who finds themselves facing a notice of violation from the TSA. Thanks Scott.
