WALLACE PIERCE - Key Persons
Enzo joined Wallace Pierce Law several years ago to work with a law firm that cares about to make sure that injured clients' interests are being protected at every stage of the personal injury claims process.
He is by far the most interesting and best-dressed team member at Wallace Pierce Law. A talented artist and calligrapher, his interests include vintage Volkswagen Beetles, art, cooking, traveling, and stumping his coworkers with obscure trivia about U.S. presidents.
Born in Lima, Peru, Enzo, and his family moved to Durham, N.C., when he was 12. As he grew up, Enzo developed a fascination with U.S. history, politics, and the law. He is currently studying political science at Southern New Hampshire University and has aspirations to attend law school in the future.
As our Spanish-to-English translator, Enzo's calm persona helps clients to feel at ease when they have questions or concerns. His goal is to ensure each client completely understands the personal injury claim process so they can focus on their own recovery.
Although Enzo is responsible for many different tasks at our firm, his job as our Records Assistant is most valuable because each staff member relies heavily on the prompt and accurate organization of both our physical and electronic files. Whether an attorney needs to review a file while on the phone with an insurance adjuster or a paralegal is verifying outstanding medical balances, we can always count on Enzo to locate the documents we need.

Attorney Jared Pierce founded Wallace Pierce Law in Durham, N.C., in 2009. He currently focuses exclusively on representing injured personal injury clients throughout North Carolina.
Although the first thing you'll notice about Jared is his accent, it won't take you long to realize he is one of the most laid-back, pleasant, and caring people you will ever meet. As someone who truly cares about his employees, he encourages an "open-door policy," meaning he is never too busy for a staff member who has questions or concerns. His knowledge and originality combined with a strong desire to be a team player make him both an excellent leader and attorney.
If you asked all his employees their favorite part about working for Jared, they would undoubtedly tell you that they love his unique quotes or crazy phrases that he is constantly dropping into normal, everyday conversations, or as we like to call them, "Jaredisms." Utilizing his creativity, Jared is an exceptional negotiator, and it isn't uncommon to see the staff gather outside his office to listen to his negotiation tactics and strategies.

He received his Bachelor in History with a Concentration in African American History from North Carolina Central University in 2006. Soon after, he entered law school at NCCU, continuing his involvement with local organizations such as Project Care and the State Office of the NAACP.
Following law school, Attorney Pierce began his legal career by founding Pierce Law Offices in Durham, hoping to continue to serve his community through the practice of law. The name changed in 2013, but Wallace Pierce Law remains committed to addressing the needs of the people of Durham, focusing primarily on personal injury law related to car accidents and slip and fall cases.
In his free time, Jared enjoys tinkering with the latest technology, playing board games, listening to audiobooks, and spending time with friends and family. He is also an avid writer and enjoys all things science fiction.
