David Julian Pinkston

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!

Went through a divorce and like many, felt the only way out of was to file a bankruptcy. Aaron (his paralegal) is very knowledgeable and very honest. If I would have spoken to her (yes it is a her despite the spelling) I would never have filed. With the new laws that were implemented, most people hav...e to file a chapter 13 and the minimum is 36 months. I was told by David that I would very likely only have to pay $200ish and be between 8-10 months since I was going to lose my house and my car (very little credit card debt). Reality.... $675 at 60 months. Well since I was going to lose it all and get foreclosed anyway, why would I be so foolish as to go for this? Bottom line, choose anyone else in my opinion. There is a reason his client review on Martindale hubble is terrible at 2.5 out of 5! Bottom line... worst $3000 I have ever spent.
