NFA Trust

John is very knowledgeable and friendly in setting up a NFA Trust. He was very prompt in returning my initial phone calls. After the trust was completed, and without hesitation, John thoroughly explained the step by step process involved with the E-File system. Excellent service and highly recomme...nded!

NFA Trust

I wanted to purchase a weapon suppressor and needed to establish a NFA trust so that I could pass the item down to my dependents. I emailed John with my concerns and questions and he responded the same day. The very next day I had an electronic copy of my NFA trust. I wrote to John in three differe...nt emails with a myriad of follow-on questions and he responded back the same day and answered each and everyone. His fee for the NFA trust was very reasonable, but his responsiveness to my questions and knowledge of the subject is what sold me on his services. I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone who is looking for a NFA trust.

Quality, Efficient, and Convenient

Mr. Pierce was recommended to me for setting up an NFA Trust through my local FFL dealer. I emailed Mr. Pierce to set up a day in which we could discuss setting up the trust. He was quick to respond to my email and was available during the weekend to set up the trust (this was crucial for me as my sc...hedule during the week is quite hectic). The set up was all done by phone call, I did not need to drive anywhere and the conversation took about 20-30 minutes, mostly because I had questions regarding the trust and some background history on why some of the portions of the trust were necessary. Mr. Pierce displayed great professionalism and was able to answer all my questions to great detail. My payment information was taken at the end of the conversation, but I was not charged until I received my trust via email the next day. This was another excellent aspect in working with Mr. Pierce, I received my completed trust in PDF format as well as Word format in under 24 hours. In the email, he provided further instruction on what my next steps were to get a tax stamp through the ATF. It should also be noted that any and all modification, questions, and general help regarding the trust with Mr. Pierce is FREE. He truly is someone who can provide a quality trust that is accepted by the ATF at an affordable price. I would highly recommend Mr. Pierce to anyone looking to set up an general NFA trust based upon my experience.

Easy as Pie

John's knowledge and experience made my NFA trust a smooth and easy process. The price for his services are reasonable, couldnt find a lower price point. Very satisfied and highly recommend to anyone looking for an NFA trust in the state of VA.

Awesome source for NFA Trusts

I had heard of John while at my local shooting range so I gave him a call. He went over all the specific information that pertained to my needs and also answered my questions fully. I decided to go with him as the maker of my trust. I talked to him on 11am on a Friday and had my trust in my E-mail bu...t 5 o'clock that afternoon (talk about speedy service!). What makes John stand out from everyone else is that he not just giving you a trust and sending you on your way. He is a and will always be there to answer any further questions or concerns I have. He also offers an awesome service where he will take you step by step through the ATF forms (they are VERY tricky to navigate through) AND ITS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE TRUST! I will be sending my Family and Friends to him without a doubt.
