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!

Terrible lawyer. Filed bankruptcy (chapter 13) with him and as soon as he gets your money (second visit, first is free) he will no longer speak to you! He won't return calls and on the rare occasion he does, he is very bothered by your call. You will mostly deal with the front desk lady who doesn't k...now much at all and she says she talks to him but I honestly think she is useless. I sought new legal advice and was paying 7,500 for a chapter 13 and told I was paying WAY too much. At the end of the process there are a bunch of hidden fees. If you read his contract he makes you sign carefully- you will see he makes it so you can't back out once you make the first payment. So if you pay him $500 and decide you don't like how he is its "too bad so sad". Basically what I thought I was getting was a great lawyer who would help me through the confusing bankruptcy process and what I got was a selfish man who only wants your money and could care less about your questions or concerns. He is terrible!
