NFA Trust

Mr. Pierce was highly recommended to me by a NFA Dealer in NOVA. Not only did Mr. Pierce return my call and e-mail minutes later, he completed my NFA Trust by the next day and for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Mr. Pierce's service.

Fantastic Experience

I contacted John based on a referral from a friend to get a gun trust set up. He was fantastic to work with and made it incredibly easy. I'm looking forward to working with him to get my first item in the trust. Thanks John!

Very Well Pleased

I was in need of a trust and John came recommended. He walked me through all the steps, those done now and those needed in the future. He also refused to accept payment until I was satisfied. I feel comfortable recommending him without reservation.

Roach Arms Trust

Mr Pierce was very polite and helpful in setting up my trust. He is very knowledgeable on the subject and guided meet through the process in a very short time.I was expecting at least a 24 hour wait, but Mr Pierce had my trust to me in just a matter of hours. I highly recommend him if your need is l...ike mine was.

NFA TRUST

Found Mr. Pierce's website , which had a wealth of information on it. Upon speaking to John (after 9 pm), he asked a few questions, offered great advice, and had my complete trust to me the very next morning. Also he offers assistance on this trust for its life time. A wealth of information. Excelle...nt Service!!!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
