NFA Trust

John was a pleasure to deal with in creating and explaining a NFA trust. 18 months and several purchases later it's been smooth sailing with the paperwork approval.

NFA Trust

Had Mr. Pierce create a NFA Trust, was very expedient. He has been very helpful in guiding me through the process of acquiring a tax stamp for An NFA item. His online articles cover the process very well.

Great Service!

John was great to work with. He was able to set up a Trust for me in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. I had many questions about the process, as well as the pro’s and con’s of doing so, and John was very knowledgeable and was able to explain the benefits and drawbacks which allowed me to m...ake an informed decision. Not only would I recommend John, but will use him again in the future for any of my Trust or Estate planning needs.

Expert Legal Consultation

Attorney Pierce set up my family's trust quickly, competently and made the process simple for me. Att. Pierce delivered excellent customer service during the process and afterwards by answering any and all questions related to the trust. I would highly recommend trusting him to handle your legal need...s.

Excellent legal advice and service

I contacted John Pierce last year for information about a trust for NFA firearms. He answered all of my questions on the phone and provided a trust that perfectly fit my needs. Then, over the phone, he walked me through my first NFA submission process. My first purchase went perfectly and I receiv...ed the tax stamp from the ATF without any problems. Since then, he has quickly answered follow-up questions and continues to provide excellent and timely service when needed. I am very happy with Mr. Pierce's service and will continue to use him as my attorney for NFA and ATF matters.
