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.

Quick and helpful!

John was referred from an acquaintance and I was grateful for it. John helped walk me through pros and cons of an NFA trust, asked the right questions and got me set up quickly, for what I think is a low fee. I highly recommend him!

Extremely personable and fast service!

I was recommended to Mr. Pierce by a local business to set up an NFA trust. When I contacted him, he was very friendly, walked me though the entire process, and answered all of my questions. He also provided links to his website which provided additional details, and explained he would be happy to ...answer any future questions I have and assist with any changes. All in all, I'm very impressed and happy.

Incredible Experience and Very Knowledgeable

John was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions. My situation wasn't a basic trust but involved some more complicated details. He worked with me quickly and efficiently and the turn around time was faster than expected. John also offers the most reasonable prices I found,... by far. I would recommend him 100%. Flawless experience.

NFA Trust

Pierce is very knowledgeable and helpful in setting up my NFA Trust. It was a very easy process and he offers life time updates, changes, and technical help for free within the set fee for service which was $100. Highly recommend.
