Jan Scott Pierce

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.

Jan played a pivotal role when I wanted to start a non-profit organization. He met with me, listened to my ideas and supported my vision. He got to work right away and let me know exactly what I needed to do and how to do it. His communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and was r...eadily available for questions and concerns. I have no hesitations about recommending Jan to anyone...friends, family or strangers! Thank you Jan for a job well-done! I couldn't have done it without you!

I hired Jan to set up my small business and to review a business contract for me. He responded to my questions by email quickly and when we met in person, he laid out all the pros and cons of different business structures (e.g., LLC vs. Inc.). Jan clearly understood small business issues well. I f...elt well informed when I chose the business structure that was right for me. Jan has an easy, friendly, and relaxed manner which made him very pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend him to others.

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 was referred to Jan when I was looking to sign a lease for my acupuncture clinic. This was a big endeavor for my business, as I had always subleased spaces with short-term contracts before signing this 7 year lease. I was having a lot of communication issues with the landlord while negotiating the ...lease terms and build-out costs. Jan was so wonderful at helping me be assertive with communicating my needs, which lead to a wonderful relationship with both Jan and my landlord. I have gone back to use Jan's services many times since. He has wonderful service, never rushes the process, keeps things light with humor, and doesn't nickle and dime the communication. You won't be disappointed if you chose to work with him. Thank you, Jan!
