Distribution Supervisor

Jan is a great lawyer, he has a combination of high intelligence, strong analytical and advocacy skills. He has a passion for his field of practice. He fosters a high level of commitment to his work. Jan understand his clients objectives, and he advocate on those basis. For example.. myself and bu...siness partners hired Jan to help us resolve a business deal that went bad, then he continued to work with us by guiding our team in the direction to something better. His passion and dedication to see you through your dreams are a dream come true.

Business attorney

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.

Great man - perfect lawyer to work with!

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.

Smart, approachable

Jan helped us out with figuring out that we needed to file bankruptcy, best specialists attorneys to work with to file, and what steps we needed to do beforehand. He is both smart and highly experienced, yet very friendly and down to earth. Great to work with.

Couldn't be happier

We have only been working with Attorney Pierce for a short while but so far we couldn't be happier. He has proven to be very accessible, which is huge for a small business. Also, I always felt our former attorney rounded his hours up. Pretty sure Jan rounds hours down. Easy access and fair rates; wha...ts not to like?
