Quick and Effective Defense

Back in 2020, I accidently took a legal carry pistol through security at my local airport. It was detected by the TSA agents who called local police to confiscate my firearm, after which they allowed me on my way. Didn't even miss my flight. However, two years later I received a Final TSA Notice of ...Violation stating I owed $4100.00 in fines and penalties. My wife did research on how to handle such a civil violation and came across Scott Klippel's Web site. She reviewed him on AVVO and decided to contact him about my case. We were concerned he wouldn't be able to help as I had already requested a formal hearing. But, after a couple of emails and a quick conversation, I decided to hire Scott to adjudicate my case. Scott was extremely helpful and very upfront about what my options where and how to proceed. He was upfront with his fees and what I could expect as far as the proceeding and what I would end up paying. Scott was able to reduce my fine and get the formal hearing request dismissed. I have worked with many lawyers in my life and Scott was by the easiest and most straightforward one I have ever had the pleasure of working with. If you ever find yourself in the position of accidently carrying your legal firearm through a TSA security checkpoint, contact Scott right away, He knows the law and how best to serve. It was unbelievable how quickly Scott was able to resolve my case. 5 Stars all the way.

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.
