Don't look at just the low price.

John came highly recommended from other NFA owners. I was skeptical in the beginning with the low cost compared to others. After speaking with John on the phone I decided to move forward. First I received my Trust in less than 24 hours without pre-payment. I got my Trust notarized and started my firs...t attempt at purchasing a NFA item. This is where John went above and beyond the money I paid him. I made a mistake filling out my forms and was disapproved. I emailed John on Friday expecting a response first of the week. John walked me through refilling on a Saturday and getting my forms to the right person so I wouldn't have to wait in the queue again. Several times I have reached out to John asking questions and he has always called or emailed me back fully answering my questions. After getting my tax stamp John updated my Trust for me again at no charge. This man stands by his product and goes above and beyond what any person could want. Spend the money with John and be assured you will get quick and courteous service. Thanks John.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND John Andrew Pierce for your NFA Trust needs

As a law enforcement professional I take "following the law" seriously. Moreover, when I have a question regarding the law... I expect an attorney to know and explain the law in a manner that the average person could understand; which, John did an excellent job at doing. John put my mind at ease as ...he made himself available to answer my questions to date and included "questions in the future" as well as a part of the services that comes with the NFA Trust . Furthermore, he was polite, professional, and patient with our entire interaction. Considering the value, the services, and legal benefit of a NFA Trust the fees were an incredible bargain. Thank you JOHN!

NFA trust set up

John Pierce was excellent, He responded to my inquiry extremely fast and was exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. He personally walked me through the entire process answering all of my questions and asking questions I hadn't thought of, to ensure that there would be no issues in the future.... His fees are more than reasonable, Based on his personal attention and knowledge, I look forward to working with John for many years to come.

The turn-around time was also very quick.
