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.

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!

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.

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!
