Restoration of the right to own firearms

I did a internet search for Lawyers that represent you in the Restoration of the right to own firearms. I came across Mr. Pierce's name. I called Mr. Pierce and talked with him. He proceeded to ask questions about my circumstances. He then sent me the information on what I needed to do next. I immedi...ately hired Mr. Pierce. I sent Mr. Pierce the information that he required to proceed with the petitioning of the Circuit Court in the County that I reside in. He was very helpful in getting my Rights of Restoration to own firearms back. He was well prepared to argue my case and to proceed further if needed. He was in every way Professional and Knowledgeable about the way the hearing was going to go. He returned my phone calls promptly and answered any questions that I had. He said to call him if I had any doubts about what to do after the Restoration of my right to own firearms. I sincerely thank Mr. Pierce for an outstanding job that he did. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mr. Pierce for any of his services! Thank You Mr. Pierce!

Restoration of my gun rights

Altho I live our of state, my attorney stayed I do tact with me. He was professional whenever we spoke, he took the extra time to speak with me on the phone and made sure I understood the law and what his abilities were. He made no promises except to represent me professionally , and aggressively. ... I wish he had been my attorney at my criminal hearing!!!

NFA Guru

I hired John to make an NFA trust for me in 2015. He did so in a few hours and gave me easy to follow instructions on the next steps.

John called me back after I left a phone message for him. He was specific on what I needed to do and instructed me how to go about it. He advised me what to expect. He wanted honesty from me and he was early on out court day and everything went as he had explained it would. I would not hesitate to ca...ll on him again for ANY of my legal needs or advice!

Great Service!

John was great to work with. He was able to set up a Trust for me in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. I had many questions about the process, as well as the pro’s and con’s of doing so, and John was very knowledgeable and was able to explain the benefits and drawbacks which allowed me to m...ake an informed decision. Not only would I recommend John, but will use him again in the future for any of my Trust or Estate planning needs.
