My name is Scott Klippel. I represent passengers who were found with firearms at TSA passenger security checkpoints in the civil proceedings that TSA initiates against them. These proceedings involve the issuance by TSA of a Notice of Violation which seeks to impose a civil monetary penalty. I am not involved in any defense regarding criminal charges which might have been filed against the passenger.
I started TSA NOV Defense shortly after I left the Transportation Security Administration in April, 2013. I was an attorney with TSA from its inception in 2002 and I was in charge of TSA’s Chief Counsel’s Office Notice of Violation Program from July, 2007 until I left TSA. During that time period, on behalf of TSA, I handled over 4,500 NOV cases through the Informal Conference process.
I graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 1976. (Hook’em Horns). After law school, I spent 5 years with the Kings County (Brooklyn, NY) District Attorney’s Office; when I left, I was in the Homicide Bureau where I was responsible for trying only murder cases. I was fortunate to be able to return to Austin where I worked for the Texas Prosecutor Council and the Texas Attorney General’s Office. In 1985, I opened my private law office in Austin for the practice of criminal defense. In 2000, I moved to the Washington DC area and worked for the U.S. Department of Justice. Shortly after 9/11 and the creation of the Transportation Security Administration, I joined TSA’s Office of Chief Counsel.
When I retired from TSA, I moved to the Holy Land. Feel free to confirm this at the Texas Bar website - . Click on "Find a Lawyer", enter my name and you will see the Texas Bar has my office listed as in Jerusalem, Israel and that I have been licensed in Texas since 1976.
I would be most happy to provide you, without charge, with an overview of TSA’s Notice of Violation process, so that you can better understand what you or your client is facing and can make an intelligent decision on how you wish to proceed with the NOV that was issued or will be issued.
My flat fee for representing someone is $400 and is payable throught PayPal.
I look forward to talking to you.

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...

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 ...

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).
