Excellent service at a great price

John did a NFA trust for me and did an excellent, fast job and his rates were very reasonable. He is very helpful and answers any and all questions that you might have. I hope to continue our working relationship in the future and would highly recommend him.

Quick and Easy

I was looking to get a trust set up and I emailed John. Within a few minutes he had called back. John was very easy to deal with and provided easy instructions on what he needed to set up the trust. Within one day I had all the documents in hand. John was great in explaining what information I ne...eded and why. He even thought up things for when I would use my trust later providing me with information I could use to better easily get things done.

NFA Trust Expert

John took the time to explain my options and then informed me so I could make the decision on the correct product for my needs. The documents were prepared timely and John waked me through the entire process including some questions I had when I subsequently completed my Form 4. He is very easy to ...talk to and puts complicated terms in plain English so the customer can make knowledgeable decisions.

Outstanding Service

After searching for a attorney qualified and knowledgeable in NFA trusts, I found John Pierce as a recommendation from a colleague who had gone before and found the best. John Pierce impressed me not only with his expertise in Title 2 and availability to establish a Trust, but also the sheer gravity... of his follow-on answers and advice.

Best Gun-NFA-Trust Lawyer Anywhere

I wanted an NFA Trust to hold some existing and future Title III weapons. I had a basic knowledge about these trusts, but very basic. I attempted to do my own research on the internet and found as much misinformation as sound and accurate information. John was extremely patient, answering my question...s and proposing ideas during several email exchanges and two phone conversations with me. He clarified all my internet misconceptions and in the end, produced a 17 page NFA Trust document for me, tailor-made to my needs, and charged little for it. The old adage, "You get what you pay for", didn't take into account John and the extra mile that he goes for you. Talk to the Man, get the Trust.
