Very professional. Mr. Pierce is probably the best lawyer you can hire for what his specialty.

You could not ask for a better lawyer.

Working with Mr Pierce was a wonderful experience! He was easily accessible, easy to talk to, and very knowledgable. I researched several “firearms attorneys” and found Mr Pierce’s knowledge to be far above the rest. I would highly recommend working with him!

Made my dream come true!

After contacting a attorney where I live to help me try to get my rights restored, the attorney informed me that he never handled a case like mine. My manager gave me John's contact information and I called him. John called me a couple of days later and inquired about my situation. He informed me tha...t I didn't need to go to court, only about one hour of his time was needed. One month and one day later my dream came true!!! John called me to inform me that I was good to go!! That moment was so surreal!!! John is more than a ordinary lawyer, he truly cares about his clients and is so awesome at what he knows and does!!! I recommend him to everyone, I don't know if I would have gotten my rights restored this quickly or ever!!! Thank you so much John!!!!

Great Lawyer

Attorney John Andrew was an invaluable resource when it came to petitioning for my rights to be restored. Mr. Andrew was easy to talk to and explained complicated legal information in an easy to process way. I consulted with a handful of reputable legal firms in the N. VA area and I felt very confi...dent being represented by Mr. Andrew. I found John to be very honest and non-judgmental with his approach and counseling. I am extremely happy to have John. I truly appreciate all that he has helped me with in restoring my rights to bear arms.
