Tenacious, thorough, honest and loyal - man's best friend and Thomas Peter Pierce
We were involved in a David vs. Goliath case where we eventually prevailed. We tried to get our legal fees back after plaintiff's scorched earth litigation, which was designed to bankrupt us through legal fees before trial. We won a ridiculous lawsuit yet ended up owing several hundreds of thousands ...
"I fully endorse T. Peter Pierce. When my client's require representation in the appellate courts we engage Pierce. He is a smart and talented appellate attorney. His rates are reasonable and he is also a class act."
