Awesome experience and results!

I feel very lucky to have found out about Scott for a case I needed resolved. Scott was very easy to reach and his communication and explanation of each step was very appreciative. Scott did everything he said he would and when he said he would do it. If you are in need of an attorney, I highly r...ecommend Scott. You will be very happy with Scott. Thank you Scott, I appreciate everything you did and very happy with the results.

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.

Quickly Resolved & Reduced TSA Notice of Violation

Scott quickly resolved my TSA NOV case within 2 days. The outcome that he guaranteed was accurate and saved me a lot of money. Scott is professional and prompt; I would recommend him over any other lawyer to work with TSA.

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!

NOV Lawyer

Unfortunately, I accidentally left my loaded firearm in a hidden compartment within my backpack. TSA stopped me and I was subsequently issued a NOV (Notice of Violation). I found Scott's information online and hired him to represent me. He was very prompt, knowledgeable, and empathetic. He warned me ...of the extreme delays and said not to worry. He gave me specific instructions and also coached me up on how to avoid another violation in the future. This was simply a dumb mistake, but he gave me a real-world solution on how to remind myself that I have my firearm in my backpack. Like Scott mentioned, it took TSA over 2 years to issue the NOV. He handled it immediately, got my civil penalty reduced, and settled the case pretty much immediately. I will refer him to anyone that needs his services.
