Thank you

Me. Pierce was prompt in both answering and returning every one of my calls. He demonstrated an excellent understanding of the issues and provided me with fantastic results. His professionalism was exemplary and I strongly recommend his services.

DUI

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

Highly Recommend

Jeff did an outstanding job representing our family regarding a felony and misdemeanor charge. The felony charge was eventually lowered to a misdemeanor and this was due to the fact that Jeff was persistent. He was actively engaged with all parties involved including the judge, prosecutor, other at...torney and detective. Jeff is very knowledgeable about the law but more importantly he knows how to drive the case home. Our case was quickly resolved and we are glad it is now behind us. We highly recommend Jeff for any of your legal issues.

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.

Phenomenal Representation

Jeffrey Pierce took charge of my case from the moment I walked into his office. He knew exactly what actions to take and when to take them to handle every aspect of the proceedings in a completely professional manner, and managed take a nightmare of a situation and turn it around completely. There wa...s never any hesitation on his part, Mr. Pierce kept me fully informed the entire case and always laid out my options for me in ways that were easy to understand, as well as his best advice on how everything would go (which were proven correct every time). Would 100% recommend Jeffrey Pierce.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
