Excellent service

On June 19, I had an embarrassing security incident with the TSA when I was at the St. Louis Airport trying to fly out to Newark to see my daughter. After a bit of excitement, I was eventually allowed to board the plane - luckily it had been delayed twice. As a result of my own negligence, I was give...n a fine by the TSA. I was mulling over whether just to pay the fine when a co-worker of mine found Mr. Klippel's website on the internet. On the site, Mr. Klippel described his experience as an attorney with the TSA. I contacted him and left a voicemail message. In a word, Mr. Klippel's service was very impressive. He called me on a Saturday afternoon - July 3. He explained his service and the fee. He also sent written materials in an email. I immediately paid the legal fee online. The next day, Sunday July 4, Mr. Klippel interviewed me over the phone. By Tuesday July 6th, my case was settled for less of a penalty than I had feared. Wow! As I said, very impressive and very efficient. Aside from the penalty that I had to pay, it was almost painless. If you've received a fine from the TSA, you definitely want to take a look at Mr. Klippel's website before you decide what to do.

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!

Highly Recommend

Mr. Klippel was extremely professional and everything we discussed happened just like he stated. Mr. Klippel answers his phone, answers all questions and it was a pleasant business experience.

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!
