NFA Trust

I emailed John about a NFA Trust. He called me back the same day and asked me a few questions, then it was sent to me that evening. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He also has the best rate for my particular need.

Quality, Efficient, and Convenient

Mr. Pierce was recommended to me for setting up an NFA Trust through my local FFL dealer. I emailed Mr. Pierce to set up a day in which we could discuss setting up the trust. He was quick to respond to my email and was available during the weekend to set up the trust (this was crucial for me as my sc...hedule during the week is quite hectic). The set up was all done by phone call, I did not need to drive anywhere and the conversation took about 20-30 minutes, mostly because I had questions regarding the trust and some background history on why some of the portions of the trust were necessary. Mr. Pierce displayed great professionalism and was able to answer all my questions to great detail. My payment information was taken at the end of the conversation, but I was not charged until I received my trust via email the next day. This was another excellent aspect in working with Mr. Pierce, I received my completed trust in PDF format as well as Word format in under 24 hours. In the email, he provided further instruction on what my next steps were to get a tax stamp through the ATF. It should also be noted that any and all modification, questions, and general help regarding the trust with Mr. Pierce is FREE. He truly is someone who can provide a quality trust that is accepted by the ATF at an affordable price. I would highly recommend Mr. Pierce to anyone looking to set up an general NFA trust based upon my experience.

Creation of a trust for firearms, silencer, etc. Knowledgeable advice and very pleasant...

Mr. Pierce called me back the same day, and followed up by phone and online, regarding my intent in setting up a trust. I had questions in a number of areas, which he was very familiar with, and took the time to explain thoroughly. I find that he is patient, fair, and very reasonable, unlike many you... will come across in the same field, which I came across before working with Mr. Pierce. I would very much recommend Mr. Pierce for legal issues regard setting up a trust, restoration of civil rights, gun rights, etc. I have personally told 2 other people I know about my experience, who I believe will contact Mr. Pierce due to my positive experience. Thank you!!

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Pierce was recommended to me so that I may create an NFA trust. He called me and the 1st thing he did was apologize for taking a few days to respond. Mr. Pierce was very professional, polite and knew exactly what I needed. I am very satisfied with his work and highly recommend him.

John A Pierce Review

John does a terrific job of making trust set up easily and the BATF process easy to understand. He is very knowledgeable, provides great advise, does a great job explaining the process (both on the phone and via his website) to get you through the process. Many thanks for helping us exercise our co...nstitutionally protected rights.
