Posted by Beatrice | February 19, 2026 | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Scam Attorney

Attorney David Pinkston provided no legal counseling. He stated 2,500.00 was needed before he could advise me on which chapter 7 or 13 was needed, and 5,500.00 would be needed if I file a chapter 13. According to the Bankruptcy laws chapter 13 fees are included into the bankruptcy. I gave this atto...rney 500.00 out of desperation hoping to obtain him for 5,500.00 for chapter 13 and when I could not come up with the 5,500.00 fee, he would not return my money. Therefore, it appears this attorney is all about the money than helping people in bad situations.

Navigating bankruptcy is highly stressful, and we take all feedback seriously. While attorney-client privilege prevents us from discussing the details of any individual's case online, our firm operates with strict transparency. No fees are ever accepted without a signed, written agreement that clearly outlines all costs for our preliminary legal review and file setup. We have addressed this matter with you privately according to the terms of your signed agreement, and we sincerely wish you the best moving forward.

Extremely satisfied clients

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with David to help us navigate through the worst time in our lives. We were involved in the real estate industry as investors for many years in NE Florida and SE Georgia, simultaneous to that we had jobs and other business interests. Our situation was complex... and time consuming, David was referred to us as a expert that could provide solutions. Our experience was he and his staff took time to understand our needs and guided us through the process, the entire experience is not 'fun" or cheap. You get what you pay for, we believe when we hired David that we had the best person to help us get our sanity back. After 4 years David still picks up the phone and responds to emails, when I ask for clarification. I would strongly suggest he and his team be considered as a law firm that can bring clarity and closure to bad situations.

Highly recommended

I was stuck between a divorce and a financial crisis. David had me in for a consultation and assured me everything would be okay. He went to court for me and everything was smooth sailing from the consult to the discharge. Couldn't be more pleased.

Saved my life

I went to David for help in my financial situation and he and his staff went above and beyond to get my case filed and closed quickly. His reassurance that he would take care of me made me feel very secure in my choice. Thank you for your professionalism and putting my mind at ease. Highly recommende...d.

One of the Good Ones

I've now worked with several different attorneys, and few if any were as skilled, helpful, attentive and honest as David Pinkston. His help with my mother's unfortunate bankruptcy was truly invaluable. He's one of the good ones.
