Scott Klippel

I messed up and received a NOV (no aggravating factors) in December. I initially contacted a law firm located in Florida which advertises online they handle these type of cases remotely for clients all over the US. When that firm contacted me, they wanted $200 upfront as a consultation fee to evalu...ate my case and inform me of their recommendations for moving forward. They said they could not state the total fee for representing me until the consultation was completed...so No Thanks. Mr. Klippel, on the other hand, states clearly on his website the flat fee for TSA NOV representation is $400. AND his initial consultation is FREE. So he discusses your case with you on the front end. After the consultation, if you decide to retain his services the fee is $400...fair, straightforward pricing. He lives in Jerusalem, Israel so payment was made by credit card via PayPal (it was a secure PayPal Goods and Services transaction which offers buyer protection). After he received payment, Mr Klippel quickly contacted TSA on my behalf and settled my case within a couple of days. He provided clear communication throughout the process. In the end, his fee plus the settlement amount I paid totaled a few hundred dollars less than if I had paid TSA the original $1500 penalty levied. Ideally I will never need to utilize Mr. Klippel's legal services again. But I really hope he is available if I do.

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.

So I accidentally left a firearm in my carry-on for the second time when traveling and TSA came back telling me I owed $10,000, which I could not afford, especially during this Coronavirus crisis. My wife found Scott online and said he had good reviews but she was a little nervous because he was base...d out of Israel. I looked Scott up on Linkedin myself and from what I could tell from the reviews and from researching him, he was legit. But just to make sure I could trust him I decided to ask him if he would be available for a video call. He gladly took the time the next day to FaceTime me free of charge and it reassured me he was the same man in this picture and that he also had the knowledge and experience to proceed forward with the case. Scott was a pleasure to work with and extremely professional and trustworthy.. Also an excellent communicator. You don't find many attorney's as good as Scott and he was able to cut my fee by more than half!! Which is incredible for a second time offender like myself. He also gave me new ideas to try to help remember if I have my concealed carry weapon in my bag or not so I can remove it and check it if I board another plane in the future. Highly highly highly recommend and don't be alarmed by the fact he is in Israel. He is still licensed and able to help you in the US and he is very good at negotiating with TSA. Huge thank you to Scott.

Had a quick consult with Scott about a TSA penalty charge - not exaggerating, this guy is the most rude, condescending person in the service industry I've ever spoken with. I was flabbergasted. I asked him a question, and when my answer was slightly vague and I asked for clarification, he proceede...d to berate me - "What part of what I said didn't you understand?" He cut me off, told me to be quiet, all within the first five minutes. I cannot imagine working with him on any sort of complicated case that required an ongoing dialogue and questions that needed answering. I also would be concerned that he currently lives in Israel and only takes Zelle or PayPal, which means there isn't much recourse if he fails to fulfill his duties.
