VA NFA Trust Setup

John Pierce was incredibly easy to contact, prompt and helpful with his replies, upfront with his costs, honest, hardworking, and an overall great asset to have while setting up my NFA trust.

Great help from John

I've been looking at setting up an NFA trust for a while now, but was put off by the high prices of most attorneys I had spoken with, and worries about future problems if I tried a quicky online paperwork mill. I got a referral to John from a friend of mine, and was immediately impressed by his frie...ndly, ready to help demeanor and very affordable pricing (less than half what I had been quoted elsewhere!). He has been very helpful getting this set up for me, answering all of my questions, and making sure the trust was set up according to my wishes. I would highly recommend him to others in the future.

Highly recommended !

Googling info for NFA Trusts in the Commonwealth of VA, John's name came up on numerous very active gun forums. I contacted him via email and had a lighting fast reply. He was adamant about discussing all pertinent items of an NFA Trust before I ever touched a single form. He answered multiple ema...ils and calls of my questions within in a few hours or less time, and once I finally gave him the necessary information and "go-ahead" he had the trust document prepared withing 24 hours. He has been very knowledgeable and prompt throughout the entire process, and his fee is extremely fair, especially considering the dimestore looking websites trying to charge double or triple for the same service. I would highly recommend him for an NFA Trust consult, and would not be afraid to consult him on other items within his practice of law.

Creation of NFA Trust

John answered all my questions. He took all the time necessary without making me feel rushed. That was very much appreciated. The price for his services are, in my opinion, far too low for all that he gives in return. After the trust was created i had a few more questions that popped up. Guess what ?... Not only did he answer my questions but he really took the time to make sure that I fully understood everything. One of the best experiences I have every had working with an attorney. I can't recommend him enough!! Awesome experience!!
