Fantastic.

I hired John to write a trust; he was responsive, knowledgeable, and extraordinarily helpful. His fees strike me as very low for the services rendered. Couldn't have had a better experience and highly recommend him.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and affordalble

I contacted Mr. Pierce to prepare my NFA Trust. He came highly recommended and after working with him I totally agree. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable and provided his service at a reasonable price. Additionally I had my trust quickly. The instructions were clear and the Trust ...documents were detailed and all in order. His continuing support is a bonus. I will, and have, recommend him to friends.

Professional, Extremely Knowledgable, Prompt, Personable & Affordable

I hired Mr. Pierce to create a NFA Trust for me after being referred to him by a friend. I found him to be professional, extremely knowledgeable, prompt, accessible and very personable. He even called me while he was away on a business trip. The document was prepared and delivered within twenty- f...our hours as promised. I highly recommend Mr. John Pierce to anyone looking for top notch, affordable, legal services.

John really knows his stuff!

I contacted John to set up my NFA Trust so that I could get started on my NFA collection. John was very well informed and very well organized. Made the entire process a breeze!

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!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
