Great Experience with NFA Trust

I used John Pierce at the recommendation of my FFL in order to set up my NFA Trust. I called him in order to understand what was needed, and he was knowledgeable about the process I needed to follow. He has a questionnaire online that you can fill out and email to him. I had the trust document the... next day, along with instructions on how to complete the document and register any NFA items. Similar lawyers charge substantially more for this same service. I would highly recommend John Pierce to anyone who wants to set up an NFA Trust.

Excellent NFA Trust service from John Pierce!

I first emailed John Pierce on a Saturday to assist me with setting up an NFA Trust. He contacted me back within a few hours. John answered all of my questions and made the process very easy. My finished trust was ready within 24 hours of first emailing John. I was very impressed with his service and... promptness, especially for it being a weekend. He has also offered to assist me in using the trust and making future changes. I would highly recommend John Pierce's services!

Fast, friendly, very knowledgeable

Mr. Pierce answered all of my questions and explained everything very clearly and with an audible smile. Not only does he have extensive knowledge in gun trusts but he has extensive knowledge on actual firearms. The whole process took less than 10 minutes over the phone. I spoke with him last nigh...t and recieved the trust early this morning! Cheaper than online do-it-yourself gun trusts and he accepts payment only after you are completely satisfied. I would recommend his services to anyone wanting to set up a gun trust.

Simply perfect!

Mr. Pierce was recommended to me by another satisfied customer so I sent him an email regarding setting up a NFA Trust. He was quick to respond, polite and personable throughout, and finished with the necessary paperwork in less than one business day! Thanks Mr. Pierce!

NFA Trust

I contacted Attorney Pierce to assist me in obtaining a properly executed NFA Gun Trust. Mr. Pierce immediately returned my call, answered all my questions and set up my trust in less than 3 hours. He is absolutely an outstanding asset to gun owners in the state of Virginia and his price for completi...ng a trust is the best I have found to date. As a combat Veteran and retired Army First Sergeant I highly recommend Mr. pierce for your NFA Trust needs.
