You can't go wrong with John Pierce

John provided me a Gun Trust, he patiently assisted me verifying all fields and answered all questions I had pertaining to the trust. Every time I contact him, wither via e-mail or telephone he always communicates back with me. Deal with confidence.

Knowledgeable, Responsive, and Reasonably Priced

I was seeking the establishment of a trust and was referred to Attorney Pierce through a members' forum on the Internet. It was less than 24 hours from the time I initially contacted Attny Pierce to the time my trust documents were prepared and ready for me to review. His responsiveness was amazing. ...Further, the trust was complete, robust, and in keeping with my intent. Lastly, (and after shopping around a lot), I couldn't find a single lawyer in the DC metropolitan area who provides the same quality of trust services he provided at a cost that even came close to what he charges - simply unbeatable. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Best guy for your NFA Trust!

I was referred to John by a few mutual friends. John spent time with me and answered every question and even followed up the next day when the process was complete. Fast, friendly, and fair service. And what's great about John, is that he is always there to answer your questions or make changes. ...This was A+ service and I have already recommended him to many others. Thanks again, John!

Set up my Virginia Trust

Mr. Pierce was very knowledgeable, courteous, and by far the fastest attorney that I have ever used for anything. He was very quick to contact me and respond to any questions that I had.
