Local. Legal. Helpful.

My company hired Jan Pierce to represent us in an emotional lawsuit with a client. Not only was Jan efficient but he was effective in representing our position, work ethic, facts, and more importantly the law in which we are all protected. He is honest and compassionate and worked tirelessly on and o...ff the clock to ensure all communication was conveyed and understood by both myself and opposing counsel. He worked as if I were his most important client and that's exactly what you need when legal expertise is needed.

Great lawyer!

Jan is someone you'll be happy to have on your team. I've used Jan for three separate business ventures and have been 100% satisfied with his services. He is very entrepreneurial spirited and is able to find the best approach at making sure that not only your interests are protected but also gives a ...great perspective on what actually makes sense when it comes to agreements and contracts. He provides counsel that is aimed at ensuring you succeed. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to refer him to my best friends - as I already have. Like them, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Non Profit Realistate Company

My husband and I had a vision for a non profit realistate company that would allow us to give back into the community all while helping those that have low income to rent a home that would be fully remodeled for a price within their bracket. We represented it to Jan and he gave us wise counsel on th...e matter and was able to help us interprete our thoughts on paper so we could present our vision to the IRS with the language that the IRS would understand. We are happy to say that today we hold our non profit papers that were approved by the IRS. Thanks Jan for helping us. Richard & Sherlena

A Hardworking and Highly Knowledgeable Milwaukee Lawyer

I worked Jan Pierce to review several client contracts, and soon after when setting up my photography business as an LLC. Jan was highly recommended to me by several other associates working in Milwaukee creative fields, and he really understood the challenges and considerations unique to small busin...ess owners. He was open, honest and very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, and made everything easy to understand. I look forward to working with him again, and would highly recommend his services.
