Jan Scott Pierce

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.

Jan took the time to listen to our approach to business as well as offer advice on the business formation that made the most sense. I had him help me form an LLC and SCorp for two separate businesses and he made sure they simple and customized. I now have a person to go to for the stuff I don't wan...t to do or don't feel comfortable doing.

My business partner and I worked with Jan to convert our business from a LLC to a nonprofit. Jan had prior experience with applying for nonprofit status, and felt confident about our business being approved. After we shared some details, he filled out the grueling application and made the whole proce...ss far less painful for us than we expected it to be. His rate was very reasonable. He even went above and beyond by continuing to check in with the IRS after our application was taking longer to process. We recently got our approval, and Jan was the first to contact us congratulating us. I highly recommend Jan Pierce.
