Makes creating a Gun Trust simple and fast.

I spent a lot of time online wading through the fodder as to how to create a gun trust so I can legally pass things on to family members in the event of my death...My local firearms store gave me John Pierce's card and said, "Call this guy, he will get it done with a phone call and an email and you'l...l be good to go." I am so glad I did. I literally spent 10 minutes on the phone with him and received my paper work less than 8 hours later via email along with step by step instructions as to how to proceed. All of it was handled with a low, one time credit card charge. It just doesn't get any easier. I highly recommend John Pierce.

Great experience

Just like the title says, working with John was an incredibly easy and great experience. If I would have known creating a trust would be this easy I would have done it a long time ago. I would definitely recommend John to other people !

Highly-skilled and response counsel

After chats and conversations over month due, entirely, to my hectic work schedule, John was ready to move the second I was. John quickly and accurately produced the paperwork necessary to created my NFA Trust within 24 hours of the receipt of the required information from me. I heartily recommend... John, whether it be for estate planning, or for other services, which I have not used him for like gun rights restoration, criminal expungements, and corporate legal services.

Arms Trust

I called John on a Monday around 4:00 PM about starting an arms trust. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about all aspects on this. I answered a few questions and had everything done by 8:00 that night. Very satisfied with his 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!
