Excellent Services

John set up my NFA Trust for me. It was simple, easy, and cheaper than the form "trusts" available all over the internet. He was very responsive and always returned calls/email within 24 hours, and usually within a couple of hours. He explained any questions I had and even walked me through the Eform... process on the phone. My Form 1 just came back approved and I couldn't be happier!

I highly recommend John Pierce.

Being new to NFA trusts I was a little hesitant to start the process but John made it so simple. I should have called John long before I did. His knowledge and service are amazing. Don't hesitate like me, call or email John Pierce today.

NFA Trust

I emailed John about a NFA Trust. He called me back the same day and asked me a few questions, then it was sent to me that evening. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He also has the best rate for my particular need.

NFA Trust

I wanted to purchase a weapon suppressor and needed to establish a NFA trust so that I could pass the item down to my dependents. I emailed John with my concerns and questions and he responded the same day. The very next day I had an electronic copy of my NFA trust. I wrote to John in three differe...nt emails with a myriad of follow-on questions and he responded back the same day and answered each and everyone. His fee for the NFA trust was very reasonable, but his responsiveness to my questions and knowledge of the subject is what sold me on his services. I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone who is looking for a NFA trust.

NRA Trust

John was on the road when I first contacted him, he told me the first chance he got to pull over he would call me back and assist me with my needs. He was very easy to work with and was willing to help in any way possible. He was very friendly and provided great costumer service.
