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.

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.

Greedy

We received no service after we paid for our chapter 7. The only time he met with us was when we paid him or he was pitching another costly service. It took us a year to save up for the chapter 7! We sat in the lobby to sign the 25 page bankruptcy papers with the receptionist, who is worthless. Some... other lackey sat with us at the trustee meeting. David would get back to us by email with short noncommittal answers but no real information until he wanted more money to get rid of our 2nd mortgage. He was 99.1 % sure it could be eliminated. After borrowing $2500 and paying him we waited two months for Pinkston to tell us the Supreme Court eliminated that option. The previous week he told us the paperwork was on the judge's desk, but the Supreme Court ruled 3 weeks before, so he lied. Then he wants more money to file chapter 13!
