Super easy process

Nothing is worse than the sinking feeling I got when I realized I had accidentally left my firearm in my bag at the airport. I immediately began looking into my options. I came across Scott on the internet and after reading MANY reviews decided to work with him to resolve the matter. Scott is EXTREME...LY responsive and VERY honest and upfront. From advising not only that I could handle it on my own, but explaining how to handle it. I chose to eliminate the headache of doing it myself and hired Scott. My case was legitimately resolved and handled within a matter of hours. Scott advised me prior to retaining him what the fee would be and even gave me a guarantee that if it surpassed his quote, he'd take it off of his fees. This reinforced to me that I could in fact handle it myself since it seemed standard practice that the TSA follows particular guidelines for reducing penalties, but let's be honest.. who wants to even deal with the headache? Was an extremely painless process and is now behind me. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone who finds themselves facing a notice of violation from the TSA. Thanks Scott.

What a relief!

Scott is as professional as they come. He held my hand throughout the whole process and alleviated any concerns I initially had. His email response time is lighting quick and left no second guessing about my situation. Scott will explain in full detail over the phone about your case and provide price...less information to you. Scott delivered on his promise of reducing my initial fine by a significant amount, even with his fee included. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone.

TSA of a Notice of Violation

Scott is a man of his word that works with diligence and integrity. He was clear upfront about the expectations and what he was confident my fine would. I highly recommend him to represent you as counsel. I was hands-off from the time of my incident until the time for me to pay my fine. He made the w...hole process convenient and easy. 10/10!

My stupid mistake

I have to say this very small but stupid mistake would have cost me dearly.. I contacted Mr. Scott Requested his services for my TSA fine that I Received. He was very up front and honest about everything. Within within 24 hours my my fine was reduced and paid. He is very diligent on getting back to y...ou and is more than happy and answering any question you have.
