NFA Trust

I had John do an NFA trust for me and it was a piece of cake. We did this over the phone in about 5 minutes and he Emailed the trust to me! I copied and signed, and had it notorized. He's good to go!!!

NFA Trust

John is very knowledgeable and friendly in setting up a NFA Trust. He was very prompt in returning my initial phone calls. After the trust was completed, and without hesitation, John thoroughly explained the step by step process involved with the E-File system. Excellent service and highly recomme...nded!

NFA Trust

I wanted to purchase a weapon suppressor and needed to establish a NFA trust so that I could pass the item down to my dependents. I emailed John with my concerns and questions and he responded the same day. The very next day I had an electronic copy of my NFA trust. I wrote to John in three differe...nt emails with a myriad of follow-on questions and he responded back the same day and answered each and everyone. His fee for the NFA trust was very reasonable, but his responsiveness to my questions and knowledge of the subject is what sold me on his services. I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone who is looking for a NFA trust.

NFA Gun Trust

All I can say is WOW!! I have been looking into a gun trust for some time and the more I read it seemed to just become more and more confusing. Finally, I came across the name John Pierce. His office was local so I started doing a little more research. I admit that I was a little skeptical becaus...e I could find nothing negative about his practices. I then sent a simple email just stating that I had a couple of questions. Within minutes, my phone was ringing. It was John. We talked for a few minutes, he answered my questions, explained his services and then asked me if I was ready to continue with the trust. Within five more minutes we were hanging up and the task was complete! I woke up the next morning and my trust had already been sent. Save the time and the headache of looking any further. Get in contact with John see for yourself why you cannot find anything negative about him. HIghly, highly recommended.

An honest, professional man,

I called John on a Saturday after asking a friend if they knew of a good attorney to help me set up a trust. As it was the weekend, I was expecting to just leave a message and to hear from him sometime early on in the next week. But not only did John answer his phone he also had the paperwork done up... for me by the next evening. He is a straight forward, squared away man of his word and a true professional. I can't recommend him enough.
