Excellent Work

I hired Mr. Pierce to help get my gun rights restored. I called him early on a Saturday morning, retained him on that Sunday and we completed and mailed the necessary paperwork that Monday morning. He did everything he promised to do, at an affordable flat rate and guided me with what would happen in... court. I would highly recommend him for his professionalism and prompt responses. He is very meticulous and up to date with current laws.

Excellent civil rights attorney

Mr. Pierce, Thank you endlessly for your help in getting my firearms rights restored. You were extremely knowledgeable with any information I needed and I truly feel lucky that I found an attorney as educated and informative as you are. I honestly believe that I couldn’t have been represented better... by any other attorney. I’m sure I will have a question or two in the future so I look forward to speaking with you then. Thanks again for your help.

Restoration

Would not consider anyone else! Excellent job! Mr. Pierce is very knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything that would or could transpire. I felt very confident and comfortable with him representing me.

Detailed, patient, responsive and very helpful

John Pierce was recommended to me by staff at a local (Richmond VA area) gun shop, when I was seeking information from them on the proper way to establish and NFA Trust. They provided John's phone number and he was very easy to talk to right from the start. Not only Did John walk me though what... I needed to do, he provided links to pages on his website with detailed guidance on everything from the process to completing the forms. Detailed, affordable, patient with us newbies, responsive and very helpful.

Excellent service, makes sure you are prepared and everything is in order

He helped me to obtain my right to obtain a fire arm back. I already had my other rights restored and wanted to hire a knowledgeable attorney to make sure I had everything in order. Mr. Pierce was the man for the job. He made sure everything was done and in order before proceeding to the next step... to ensure the highest likely hood of success. I am very happy I hired him. He was certainly worth it!
