Great job!

I am thankful to Mr. Pierce for helping me get my gun rights back. He is very knowledgeable about the process and kept me informed about everything that I needed to do. If you are looking to get your gun rights back, I would highly recommend Mr. Pierce.

Firearms Restoration Rights

After asking several lawyers to represent me to have my gun rights restored I did not feel satisfied that they could handle my case for a lack of Knowledge on the Virginia firearm restoration laws. After talking with John Pierce and understanding the knowledge and experience he would bring to the tab...le I had complete trust going forward with him as my representation. I hired him and he gave me a complete walk through of what I needed to do and what he was going to do. He always kept me informed and up to date on what was happening with my case. I was never blind sided at any time which is something I greatly respect him for. He represented me and we won the case. I have my gun rights back. I could not of asked for better representation.

Restoration of the right to own firearms

I did a internet search for Lawyers that represent you in the Restoration of the right to own firearms. I came across Mr. Pierce's name. I called Mr. Pierce and talked with him. He proceeded to ask questions about my circumstances. He then sent me the information on what I needed to do next. I immedi...ately hired Mr. Pierce. I sent Mr. Pierce the information that he required to proceed with the petitioning of the Circuit Court in the County that I reside in. He was very helpful in getting my Rights of Restoration to own firearms back. He was well prepared to argue my case and to proceed further if needed. He was in every way Professional and Knowledgeable about the way the hearing was going to go. He returned my phone calls promptly and answered any questions that I had. He said to call him if I had any doubts about what to do after the Restoration of my right to own firearms. I sincerely thank Mr. Pierce for an outstanding job that he did. I wouldn't hesitate to use Mr. Pierce for any of his services! Thank You Mr. Pierce!
