Rate my Lawyer Jan S. Pierce

Jan has worked with me for the last 6 months, in regards to a commercial property I'm selling. He has worked very close with me in keeping in touch and always returning phone calls or messages. He is very honest and fair in his rates, I would highly recommend his services to any of my family or fr...iends. Jan is a very positive person!!

Personable, informed, local

Jan helped me to handle a challenging situation by helping me to understand the legal system, advocating on my behalf, and providing me with informed options. He seemed to readily be free for consultation and was quick to respond to my requests. As an active member in our community, I met Jan shortly... after moving to Bay View as he entered the race for Alderman. I had recently graduated and moved leaving behind a condo as rental property. This was successful until the condo association changed their rental practice putting me in a tough position with renters and debt. Jan consulted with me on how to intervene with the association. When my intervention did not work, he stepped in to communicate with the condo's lawyers. Ultimately, when I had to make the tough decision to foreclose, Jan was there to help me through the the process.

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.

Knowledge beyond his specialty

Over the last year I have employed Jan for the purchase and development of a commercial property. His expertise is obvious and immediately put me at ease that things regarding the purchase would be handled completely. I put him in touch with my bank and accountants in order to streamline my involveme...nt. He coupled with both easily and things progressed without complication. As I worked on the development of the property he was always available for consultation. He's personable and has lived an adventurous life so conversation is easy interesting when breaking from 'business'.

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.
