Mistake at IAH

I forgot left my concealed handgun in my travel bag and was stopped at IAH TSA. I was shocked no idea what to do. When the process was completed I found Scott online and he responded within hours. Very helpful, saved me money and did everything he said he would do. It was stressful and he helped. I ...would recommend him 100%.

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... my fine was reduced and paid on the same day. He did what he said!

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.

Took the stress out of my life!!!!

I found Scott online after I recieved a NOV from the TSA. I had a accident going through one of their check points where I forgot something was in my bag. Obviously I was nervous! Scoot immediately put me at ease, explained to me the process and told me where he felt he could get my fine too. A...fter a couple phone consultations, he took over and told me things would be handled. Next thing I know he calls I pay treasury what he said fine would be decreased too and it was over. Without Scott I am sure I would had many more sleepless nights. 100% would recommend him to anyone with similar issues!!!

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!!
