Establishment of a Trust

John returned my call within the hour and delivered my completed trust as advertised (48 hours). John is an extremely professional attorney who addressed my questions and concerns in a clear and concise manner. After speaking with him it was obvious that he was extremely knowledgeable with regards... to NFA and BATFE regulations, which made him the obvious choice for my trust. Price is below what others are charging. Extremely pleased with the product I received. I will definitely be recommending John to my friends.

John will get your NFA trust set up the right way!

I have been considering setting up an NFA trust for almost a year, and have been putting it off, imagining that I would have to make an appointment to meet with a lawyer in the office, fill out lots of paperwork, ang have forms filled out by my family. John took care of everything over the phone, an...d made the entire process as easy as possible. As promised, within two days, I received my forms, and made it official upon notarizing and submitting back to him. He explained the ins and outs of the entire process, and even offered to file any and all NFA forms for me, for life. I havent seen or heard of service like this in quite some time. More over, he is always available via email or phone, and replies promptly, which is rather impressive given the sheer volume of his clientele. His customer service skills are second only to his skills as an estate planning attorney. To say I was impressed by the breadth of his knowledge on NFA trusts and BATFE law would be a colossal understatement. I would highly recommend that anybody looking to set up a trust, particularly an NFA trust hire John. You wont regret it, and he makes it clear that he will work for your business.

Professional

I can't recommend Mr. Pierce more. He was quite helpful and knowledgeable about all things having to do with gun trusts. I am very happy with his service and recommend him to anyone looking to get help with gun trusts in the VA area.

NFA Trust

Mr. Pierce was recommended to me through a local gun shop for setting up a NFA Trust. The entire process is spelled out on his website. I filled out the well laid out questionnaire and within 24 hours I had everything back and ready to go!! I highly recommend Mr. Pierce. Could not have been an ea...sier process!
