DUI

Mr. Pierce was extremely helpful in explaining all my rights and the DUI laws. Brilliant Attorney. Very successful in the Courtroom for me.

Posted by Charles | December 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Delivered on expectations

Mr. Pierce represented me in a criminal case stemming from an incident over the summer, he was very professional and was in constant contact with me throughout this process. Mr. Pierce talked with me about the case and taking into account my disaired out come he never made any false claims about wha...t he could do he just stated the course of action he would take to achieve that goal. Mr. Pierce delivered above and beyond with regards to my case getting my case dismissed without me even having to go to court!

Professional you can count on

We hired Mr. Pierce to help us through some financial restructuring. He was a complete professional from day one, answering all of our questions. He was always accessible and reassuring through the entire process. We would highly recommend him for all of your legal needs.

Excellent Attorney

My husband and I were in financial difficulties due to circumstances beyond our control. We made an appointment and spoke to Mr. Pierce and decided to file for bankruptcy. Mr. Pierce explained the bankruptcy process to us and answered all of our questions. Mr.Pierce went above and beyond our expec...tations, we highly recommend him.

Very Articulate Attorney

Jeffrey Pierce has a great grasp of bankruptcy law and his knowledge was definitely valuable when applied to my legal facts. Something interesting that I noted about Jeff is that he explains difficult legal matters is very understandable way that allowed me to fully understand and consider my optio...ns. is experience as a law professor definitely shows and is helpful in helping me to understand how the law applied to me. Jeff also just completed further study by obtaining an advanced degree in commercial business transactions at the University of Alabama School of Law. Jeff can also help me should I have any questions about such items as business contracts if I decide that I need to be represented should I buy or sell my business. I found an attorney that actually cared and taught me about the legal pluses and minuses of my case. I recommend him highly.

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.
