I contacted John on a Sunday by email and he called me within a few hours.Monday I received a completed trust for my review . John made this paperwork very easy for me and without any stress whatsoever.

NFA Trust creation

John did a superb job preparing my NFA Trust! As a specialist in NFA Trusts John walked me through the steps required to create an NFA Trust in ten minutes and promptly providing all the documents needed to create my NFA Trust. John also gave me all the written guidance I needed on getting documen...ts notarized and into effect. I would enthusiastically recommend John to any gun owner and encourage them to have John create their NFA Trust for them.

NFA trust

John Pierce provides excellent customer service, he is very knowledgeable and customer focused. I have requested an NFA trust form and it was ready within one day.

Excellent Services

John set up my NFA Trust for me. It was simple, easy, and cheaper than the form "trusts" available all over the internet. He was very responsive and always returned calls/email within 24 hours, and usually within a couple of hours. He explained any questions I had and even walked me through the Eform... process on the phone. My Form 1 just came back approved and I couldn't be happier!
