Jan Scott Pierce

Jan was absolutely great at helping me deal with a condo board that decided to go back on their agreement with me to rent out my unit. The board changed their mind after my tenant had already signed a lease and moved in and were trying to force him out. The board was threatening a lawsuit as was my t...enant. Jan took care of everything and completely took the stress off of me. In the end Jan made it so my tenant could finish his lease and I sold the condo after he moved out. I highly recommend Jan.

To put it simply, Jan Pierce changed my life. We met when he was knocking on doors while he was running for a local government office. I was most impressed by his personality and willingness to sacrifice his time for the betterment of his community. He's incredibly smart but he's Everyman... The fact... he was a lawyer was not of immediate importance to me at the time as I was recovering from an injury and my plans were on hold... As my life was able to gain momentum again, the implementation of my plans dictated numerous legal necessities. My first call was, of course, to Jan. From real estate transactions to business/incorporation matters to contractor mediation, he's performed and provided everything I've needed in an absolutely professional manner. A true Neighborhood Lawyer.

Attorney Jan Pierce was a blessing to my family and I. I was having major issues with with my mortgage company and their 203k hud renovation consultants and contractors. Jan knew my rights as a consumer and advised me well. Saving me tens of thousands of dollars. I can't thank him en...ough. He made a terrible situation a whole lot better .

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.

Jan has been my lawyer for almost a decade. I met him when he was working at a large law firm and he helped my partner and I establish 3 businesses. I was happy when I found out Jan was starting his own law firm, not only because I knew I would get better rates than the large firm (which I did), but... I knew he wouldn't be confided to the archaic rules of the large law firms. I have used Jan the last couple of years to establish a new business, as well as help my family sell an estate property. He always answers the phone, or calls you back within minutes if he's with another client. Even on a Sunday afternoon when he should be enjoying his time with family and friends, he is willing to take a phone call or e-mail to help you out. I highly recommend Jan for anyone looking for an honest lawyer who will look out for your best intentions.
