Recommended by a colleague who used Mr. Pierce to settle a business dispute. I found him to take stock of my complex situation quickly and fully, and to provide clear and reasonable options for resolution. In addition to being a fine lawyer, he is a good man.

Review John Pierce

Mr. Pierce has been an excellent attorney and advocate. Very sound advice, as he is knowledgeable on a myriad of levels. Our primary experience has been in working with Mr. Pierce on closing business acquisitions. Without any reservation I would recommend him.

Founder/Past President South Perry Business Assoc & Chair ECNC

Having been a business owner and activist in Spokane there are times when disputes arise. Both times I used Mr. Pierce's services the outcomes were positive and details handled professionally. His communications with me were excellent and his knowledge of the law in both cases were logically and cl...early presented to myself and the other parties. He has also helped me pro bono on personal matters. Because of the relationship from a professional beginning, Mr. Pierce has also become a friend. I would not hesitate to recommend John for any legal matter to anyone. If John doesn't think he could do the best job, he will direct one to a choice he would use. Yes, John shows much more maturity in the legal field than represented in his resume'. Mel Silva

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
