Customer review

Jeffery Pierce represented myself for a DUI charge. He was diligent in retrieving the evidence to show the court there was not enough to charge me with. He was reasonable I think since this was my first time to include I held a CDL license. Would definitely recommend Jeffery Pierce to represent you i...n your case if ever needed.

Great lawyer!

I was stuck in a really unfortunate situation where I got a DUI inside of a house. Most attorneys said they could get it dropped to a public intox. charge but Jeffrey was able to speak to the cop and the prosecutor and got my case dismissed on a technicality. I literally just had to show up to court ...and he handled everything for me. He came prepared with paperwork with questions to ask and knew exactly how to tackle the situation. Would highly recommend him.

All You Need to Know

Don’t take a pin knife into a gun fight! Regardless of your circumstances of what brought you to bankruptcy, you need someone who understands the rules, guidelines with a long history of successful court cases! Not all attorneys are the same; I fired two before working with Jeff. As a certified ba...nkruptcy specialist, his skill sets are outstanding. My suggestion is simply hire him, stay the course even when you have doubts because everyone does and you will be just as thankful, as I was. My case was not easy and required an expert. I never write reviews but I made an exception for an exceptional attorney!

DUI

I hired Mr. Pierce for my DUI case and have been extremely satisfied. He met with me the day I called for an appointment and was easy to reach. My court date was set in a timely manner and he got me the results I wanted. As long as I follow my probation I won't have the DUI on my record, which was my... goal.

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.

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.
