Guns rights restoration success.

Mr. Pierce recently helped me with my gun rights restoration in Virginia. He worked diligently on my behalf & I believe played a pivotal role in in the success of my case. He was very clear & concise with the whole entire process and took his time with you on any questions or concerns. I would hi...ghly recommend Mr. Pierce to anyone I know without hesitation.

I Couldn't Be Happier (Rights Restoration)

John made the process of having my gun rights restored so easy - He really understands the people, jurisdictions, and processes. I never felt in the dark as to what was going on as he explained everything both up front, as well as along the way. John is ALWAYS available to take a call, answer questio...ns, etc. I really can't overstate how pleased we are with John and the entire process - It was actually a pleasant experience (not something I ever expected to say regarding a court appearance!). Thanks again, John. We really appreciate all you did for us!

John is the man!!

*sorry John, this is a year late* John represented me back in 2021. I had a VA felony back in 1999 and I wanted to have my gun rights restored. I contacted John and he helped me every step of the way. The process was very easy. I put it off for years thinking it wouldn’t happen and the judge w...ould deny me etc but nope. Super easy Zoom trial (currently live in FL). It was over in 2mins. Obviously my situation is different but my case was super easy. If you need your gun rights restored do not hesitate to hire John. He will guide you through the whole process and answer calls / emails right away if you need answers. Thank you again John and sorry for the late review!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
