Jan Scott Pierce

Jan has been my lawyer for almost a decade. I met him when he was working at a large law firm and he helped my partner and I establish 3 businesses. I was happy when I found out Jan was starting his own law firm, not only because I knew I would get better rates than the large firm (which I did), but... I knew he wouldn't be confided to the archaic rules of the large law firms. I have used Jan the last couple of years to establish a new business, as well as help my family sell an estate property. He always answers the phone, or calls you back within minutes if he's with another client. Even on a Sunday afternoon when he should be enjoying his time with family and friends, he is willing to take a phone call or e-mail to help you out. I highly recommend Jan for anyone looking for an honest lawyer who will look out for your best intentions.

When my business partner and I first met with Jan, we had a vision of what we wanted to accomplish with starting a business in a new field. Jan explained our options to us and assisted us with setting up an S-Corp as well as a trademark licensing agreement and he connected us with an excellent tradem...ark attorney. Jan helps set realistic expectations, keeps a small business owner's budget in mind and has a fun personality to work with. As our business grows, we have enjoyed going back to see him to update agreement and contract forms, to add a partner and getting general advise on our activities.

I asked Jan to set up a first time business entity for me and he took time to fully educate me in all aspects of the entity type and explaining the pros and cons of each. With no hesitation, I went back to Jan to set up a second business entity. He is all you want from a lawyer when you need help.... He is a true professional and honest attorney who knows his trade and is willing to help clients at a very reasonable cost.

I am the CEO of a new start-up business and I have been working with Jan for almost 1 year. He has been INVALUABLE in his assistance, advice and support such as providing referrals for other professionals (e.g., accountant, insurance provider) that I have needed in the process of starting my busines...s. His fee has been extremely reasonable and worth every cent. I would recommend Jan without reservation to anyone in the process of starting or thinking about starting a new business. I have no background in business and Jan has taught me so much valuable information- even outside of the specific legal items we have worked on. Jan is very responsive (within less than 24 hours, but typically within several hours) to my emails and phone calls and has gone above and beyond in his role as my business attorney. He is highly intelligent, and very pleasant and easy to work with. I consider him to be an integral part of the success of my new business.

When we are looking for a lawyer we start with the basics and that is: communication skills, responsiveness, quality of service and value. With Jan Pierce we are getting more than that. I had experience with other lawyers for our business prior to working with Mr. Pierce, we overpaid, waited foreve...r for cases to close, etc., but not anymore. Mr. Pierce takes everything considered, and in a short period of time advises us in detail of every possible way to handle the matter and then it is much easier to make the right decision on the basis of that report.
