Expert advice and service in real estate law

We have worked with Jan Pierce both within the context of a non-profit charitable organization that my wife is on the board of, as well as for the purchase of our current home. He provided excellent legal counsel and assistance right through closing of the home and beyond. He was there through offers... on three separate properties and helped us navigate the sometimes challenging aspects of home purchase. His fees were reasonable and he was readily available via email or telephone. I have since recommended him to several friends and acquaintances, who have had similar wonderful experiences.

Excellent small business lawyer!

I came to Jan to help me negotiate a new retail shop lease for my business, after 4 years I was expanding and faced a lengthy lease that was well out of my realm of experience. Jan talked me through the points that were new to me and helped me negotiate a fair & manageable lease with my new landlord... that I felt confident in. He was very communicative and took the time to not just do the work for me, but educate me so I walked away with more knowledge and felt great about the whole experience. I would highly recommend working with Jan if you find yourself in need of legal advice!

Personable and Down-To-Earth

I worked with Jan to help create photography contracts that could be used electronically for my business. Jan is personable and down-to-earth, creating an environment in which you can feel comfortable asking questions about your case. He speaks to you in a way that makes you feel empowered. Jan is a...lso an active member of the community, hosting and attending many events, which makes him in touch with our city and our people. He is definitely someone you want on your team.

I hired Jan to be part of my small business team.

I used to be that person who would start to feel queasy and get nervous at the thought of having to reach out to discuss an issue with an attorney. After being introduced to Jan, I now have no fear when a topic comes up in my small business that requires some legal counsel. Jan is EASY to reach, EA...SY to talk to, and EASY to understand. I appreciate his no fuss approach to dealing with what is almost always an emotional or difficult topic to work through. I have recommended him to many other small business owners who might not feel they have the resources to work with legal counsel, because what I learned was that as a small business, you can't afford NOT to have him on your team. Don't think twice about it, he's the best.
