J. Wayne Pierce

J. Wayne Pierce is the founder of Pierce Law Group in Alpharetta, Georgia, where his practice focuses on business and real estate law. He advises individuals as well as corporations. Georgia admitted him to practice on November 10, 1972, and the State Bar lists him as an active member in good standing.

An Ocilla, Georgia, native, Pierce graduated from Wofford College and Duke University School of Law. At Duke, he served on the law school’s Judicial Board. He began practicing in Atlanta with Nall, Miler & Cadenhead. A 1977 merger involving that firm’s litigation section formed Hurt, Richardson, Garner, Todd & Cadenhead; Pierce’s years there as a litigation partner ended in 1981, when he opened his own firm.

His professional biography recounts civil litigation work involving commercial matters, product liability, tort actions and medical malpractice. It also describes his role as lead trial counsel for litigated matters and his advice on risk management. That advisory work covered self-insurance programs, claims management, risk retention levels and risk analysis.

Pierce Law Group lists an office on Deerfield Parkway in Alpharetta, matching the location in his State Bar profile. The firm’s advertised services extend from contract drafting and regulatory compliance to business litigation. For real estate matters, the firm lists purchases of residential and commercial property, leases and disputes.
