This is your go-to guy!

Scott is very thorough and detailed every step of the way. He knows exactly what to do and what to expect. I always have follow up questions, but never had any after each discussion with him. I called and retained him on a Thursday, had a follow up call that Sunday, and the case was closed by Monday ...afternoon. I didn't have to do anything, amd he made it so easy. We were initially tempted to just pay TSA's reduced fine amount, because we didnt want to deal with court and such. I am so glad we found Scott, because not only was it a breeze, we were able to save $800+ on our TSA fine!

The Reviews Are Real

This review is real as well. Scott did what he said and when he said he would. His experience is validated by his knowledge and actions. If you are at all considering quickly getting a reduced TSA NOV, stop here and contact him. No BS and its over with faster than wondering what to do. No Charge for ...the consult and you'll get the facts as he knows them.

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.

Efficient

Atty Klippel took care of my case immediately. He explained everything fully and advised me on how to proceed. The entire process was complete in a matter of days. Very happy with his service.

great experience

We had been very frustrated trying to deal with the TSA on this issue. I am so glad we contacted Scott. On our first conversation he had a list of questions that he needed to ask, prior to our giving him an explanation of what had happened at the airport. After we told our story he let us know what h...e could do. He was spot on with what he told us would happen. He got the discounted rate we were offered lowered and even after paying his fee we still saved hundreds of dollars below the TSA proposed discounted rate. And all of this was done in a very timely manner. I would recommend Mr. Kippel to anyone who is having issues with the TSA.
