NFA Trust

Emailed Mr. Pierce on Saturday for information on a NFA trust. Had it in my hands ready for signature by Monday afternoon. Mr. Pierce de-mystified the process and the product.

Fast, friendly, very knowledgeable

Mr. Pierce answered all of my questions and explained everything very clearly and with an audible smile. Not only does he have extensive knowledge in gun trusts but he has extensive knowledge on actual firearms. The whole process took less than 10 minutes over the phone. I spoke with him last nigh...t and recieved the trust early this morning! Cheaper than online do-it-yourself gun trusts and he accepts payment only after you are completely satisfied. I would recommend his services to anyone wanting to set up a gun trust.

NFA Trust

I contacted Attorney Pierce to assist me in obtaining a properly executed NFA Gun Trust. Mr. Pierce immediately returned my call, answered all my questions and set up my trust in less than 3 hours. He is absolutely an outstanding asset to gun owners in the state of Virginia and his price for completi...ng a trust is the best I have found to date. As a combat Veteran and retired Army First Sergeant I highly recommend Mr. pierce for your NFA Trust needs.

Great advice and fare rate! Couldn't ask for more.

I should preface this by saying that in a former career I was a practicing attorney licensed in California and Arizona. Since I never practiced in Virginia and have not practiced in a long time, I contacted Mr. Pierce for assistance with an NFA Trust. He got back to me quickly and was able to get a... draft of the trust documents back to me the next day. He was easy to work with and we conducted the entire transaction via email and telephone as he resides at the opposite end of the state. His rate was more than reasonable and he was attentive and answered all my questions. Take it from someone who was in the "business", John is establishing a great business model for himself and I look forward to dealing with him in the future.

Knowledgeable and Reliable

John quickly answered all of my questions and proved without a doubt that he is knowledgeable about NFA items as well as the benefits of an NFA specific trust. I was admittedly cautious due to his flat rate fee being much lower than other lawyer provided trusts. After speaking with him on the phone I... can say I will certainly recommend John to anyone who is looking for an NFA trust. It is well written and very specific. He offers user editable schedules, continuous support, and he stands behind his work. He told me If it was ever rejected due to an issue with the trust he would make it right at no cost. I highly recommend John and encourage anyone looking for a trust to speak with him right away.
