Gun Trust

John Pierce was highly recommended by a personal friend who is an FFL. I would recommend everyone to obtain their gun trust from John. He was swift and efficient. Thank you so much John!

NFA Trust

John made the process of setting up my NFA trust quick and easy to understand. He provides excellent service and quick turn around on documents; from the original trust to updated schedules covering trustees or trust property, he's got it covered. I highly recommend John for anyone looking to setup a... NFA trust.

NFA trust made more than simple!

Mr. Pierce was great to work with. Only had to use a few minutes of my time to get me set up with my trust. I called him after hours and he answered the phone and was eager to help me which I genuinely appreciated. If you need an NFA trust setup he is your man.

Excellent and responsive

John has made sure to make himself available to me when i contact him. I even contacted him on a Sunday, although i don't recommend everyone starts doing this, and he ANSWERED!! he is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgable. thanks for all you do John!

Makes creating a Gun Trust simple and fast.

I spent a lot of time online wading through the fodder as to how to create a gun trust so I can legally pass things on to family members in the event of my death...My local firearms store gave me John Pierce's card and said, "Call this guy, he will get it done with a phone call and an email and you'l...l be good to go." I am so glad I did. I literally spent 10 minutes on the phone with him and received my paper work less than 8 hours later via email along with step by step instructions as to how to proceed. All of it was handled with a low, one time credit card charge. It just doesn't get any easier. I highly recommend John Pierce.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
