Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I have worked with Peirce on various matters since 1987. As a young man, he was a very good prosecutor. As a more mature lawyer, he does a fine job representing people that are not being treated fairly by insurance companies. He is very good at what he does and I would recommend him."
