Great attorney and service

Scott was extremely helpful in getting my case with the TSA resolved in very short order. Save me a ton of money overall from my original fine. Highly recommended.

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!!

TSA NOV Civil Penalty Case

Scott is a godsend. He displayed the utmost confidence, professionalism, and expertise while helping me with my case. I was one of the thousands of people who accidentally carry a firearm into the airport. I was assessed a civil penalty of $4,000 and paid substantially less than that because of Scott.... Have confidence that he will help you because he will. In closing, I hope that you, Scott, enjoy the Holy Land and receive all the good that you give.

Fast, experienced, and professional - well worth the money!

Scott Kippel was incredibly effective in helping to significantly reduce my TSA NOV civil penalty, which was originally nearly $4k. After consulting with Scott, which was incredibly easy to setup, it was clear he was well versed in this area so I opted to retain him. In a matter of days, Scott was ab...le to reduce my penalty to $1.2k and maintained clear and detailed communication throughout the process. While I would hope no one finds themselves in the situation I found myself in, I cannot recommend Mr. Kippel enough to help in quickly resolving these matters.

Clear and Straightforward

Mr. Klippel represented me in my TSA firearm civil violation. He promptly responded to my inquiry, gave me a very clear description of how the case would likely evolve, and assured that it would be resolved quickly (in a few days!) with strong assurances. He has a tremendous amount of experience hand...ling these types of cases (has represented clients in over 7,000 of them). I ended up paying far less than I would have if I had simply paid the fine, and I did not have to deal directly with the TSA bureaucracy. I would strongly recommend him to represent anyone facing a TSA firearm violation.
