Very informed, super friendly, incredibly quick

I contacted John on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm glad I did. John quickly set up a phone call that worked with my schedule, and spent a fair amount of time going over the process of setting up an NFA trust as well as answering all of my questions. When I was ready to setup the trust, he ga...ve me some good advice and examples for naming, and sent me a copy of the trust documentation much quicker than expected. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to set up an NFA trust in the state of Virginia.

Great Service

I knew nothing about an NFA Trust when I called Mr. Pierce, but he explained everything and completed my trust in under 24 hours. All at the "inconvenience" of a ten minute phone call.

Outstanding experience!

I had a outstanding experience working with John. He was responsive, returned calls promptly, kept his word in regards to the time frames he said he would have my papers completed, was affordable and very knowledgeable. He took the time to answer the questions I had - which were many, he dispelled so...me myths I had been told and took the time to explain what I needed to know. He made me feel very comfortable through the entire process. I would recommend John to anyone considering setting up an NFA trust! 5 stars +++

NFA Trust

I called Mr. Pierce at 5:30 pm on a Tuesday afternoon and got redirected to his voicemail after no one answered. That same evening Mr. Pierce called me back at 7:15 pm ready to assist with what I had informed him of in the voicemail. He was very knowledgeable about the topic at hand and didn't hesi...tate to answer any questions I had. By 3:30 pm the following day my trust was completed. He did not charge me until the trust actually went through which is a very nice gesture. A friend recommended Mr. Pierce to me, and I am glad I went through his as he walked me through the whole process step by step. Again, Mr. Pierce was very helpful, knowledgeable, and fast. Thanks.

Extremely swift service

Mr. Pierce set up a trust and had all the paperwork sent to me within a matter of hours. Answered all my questions during the process and made it very straightforward.
