TSA Civil Penalty

Mr. Klippel was great to work with. He was very professional, quick, and was a able to assist me in reducing my civil penalty. I would highly recommend Mr. Klippel for any matter dealing with TSA penalties.

Provided Insight, Expertise, and Peace of Mind

If you're reading this you most likely found yourself in the same unfortunate situation I did. THREE years after the incident, I received the NOV letter in the mail. After a few days of researching what to do, I found myself on this site and reading the reviews like you're reading now. I called the n...umber, Mr. Scott answered right away and then gave me the rundown of what everything would look like. We set up a time in the morning on the following day to talk through the case, and by the afternoon everything was settled with TSA. It was undoubtedly the best decision I could've made. He was professional, efficient, and handled everything for me. He did everything he said he would do and was able to save me hundreds of dollars. Very grateful for him!

TSA NOV representation

Mr. Klippel was VERY helpful in navigating my TSA NOV, reducing the fine, and answering all my questions. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in similar circumstances.

Fast, Simple & Flawless

Attny Scott provided exceptional service to reduce the TSA civil penalty from $2000 to $1000. I was on the verge of paying the $2000 on 8/1/22 when I decided to make one last Google Search to determine if there was any fight to reduce the fine. My search brought me to TSA NOV Defense website. The web...site was exactly what I was looking for and asked all the questions I was concerned with. Immediately, I emailed Scott and received a very prompt reply to schedule a brief call the next morning. During initial call he spoke about the two options you have; attempt to represent yourself in front of a formal hearing or have him represent you. Scott discussed his services and set expectations of what will occur next if you were to choose him. After retaining his services, we spoke on the phone later that same afternoon where he asked a series of questions regarding the unfortunate event of bringing a firearm to the airport by mistake. Scott took detailed notes and once again set expectations of what he will be doing next and when we should be receiving a response from TSA. By much surprise to me, we were able to receive a response that very same day (8/2/22) with the reduced amount as Scott promised. In conclusion, Attny Scott is exceptional and provided amazing service. If you received an NOV from TSA, do not pay the fine without speaking to Scott first. I promise you will not regret it.

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.
