Very Helpful and Informative

I contacted John to establish an NFA Trust for me. I found John is very knowledgeable with what is needed in an NFA trust and the also application process with the BATFE. He impressed me very much with the speed of his communications by emails or phone calls as needed. John charges a reasonable amou...nt for his services and offers continued support to make changes when needed in the future. I highly recommend John. I don't believe you will find another attorney who is more attentive to his clients needs or has his knowledge and experience forming NFA trusts.

Very easy to deal with.

John made my trust so easy. I was really worried about setting up my trust and not having everything I needed when I called to start the process. I sent John an email asking what was needed and when was the best time to contact him, to which he promptly replied. He answered my questions and made t...he whole process so easy. It's nice to have a lawyer that you don't mind talking to and is so helpful and friendly.

You can't go wrong with John Pierce

John provided me a Gun Trust, he patiently assisted me verifying all fields and answered all questions I had pertaining to the trust. Every time I contact him, wither via e-mail or telephone he always communicates back with me. Deal with confidence.

Very Informative and helpful

Mr. Pierce created a Firearms trust for myself and was extremely, knowledgeable regarding Current NFA Laws and ATF Regulations. Would highly recommend for issues requiring an in depth knowledge of state and federal firearms laws.

Exceptional Service / Very Knowledgeable

I found John Pierce online, after hours of looking for the right starting point in setting up an NFA Trust. I sent an Email late at night expecting I would need to give a follow up call the next day. John called within 15 minutes and answered all my questions. I had the trust for review within 24 hou...rs. Exceptional service and communication.
