Jan Scott Pierce

I had been doing business for years as a web designer, starting off on my own and latter adding a few employees. For all those years, web design projects were based upon little more than a handshake. After getting burned a few times, I started to educate myself on putting together web design agreemen...ts. I started to use these agreements, but I had no idea if they were legally binding or whether they would hold up in a court of law. I finally reached a point where I couldn't stand the legal ambiguity anymore, so I turned to my network of friends and family and asked for help finding a business attorney. My sister, who's opinion I hold it high regard, said, call Jan Pierce. I did, and I am happy that I did. In our initial consultation, I told Jan about my business and what I thought I needed. Within the hour, we figured out I needed several types of agreements and he gave me an estimate of what it would take to draft those agreements. I value legal advice and I knew that good legal counsel comes at a price. So, I wasn't afraid of what it would cost to have legal peace of mind. I'm happy to report that the legal services provided by Mr. Pierce have been invaluable. Over the years, Jan has provided me with sound legal advice and I would recommend him to those just starting out in business or those who have been in business for years. Jan is a great talker and he's an even better listener. He's also an expert and he will give you the legal advice that you need.

Jan helped me fire a management company from their contracted responsibilities. After working with Jan, the management company refunded me every dollar they owed me. Jan is EXTREMELY responsive, listens to what the client needs and wants, then gets the job done. I will definitely use him again for AN...Y type of situation that comes my way.

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!

I worked with Jan to help create photography contracts that could be used electronically for my business. Jan is personable and down-to-earth, creating an environment in which you can feel comfortable asking questions about your case. He speaks to you in a way that makes you feel empowered. Jan is a...lso an active member of the community, hosting and attending many events, which makes him in touch with our city and our people. He is definitely someone you want on your team.
