Brian Robert Pingor

I actually went to prison for a crime I didn't commit because of this fool. He put on the worst defense possible and my biggest mistake with pingor was not firing this piece of garbage during my trial. Seing the boating assault during this past week brought up old pains and memories of this bungling... fool in the courtroom which cost my not only everything I had but my freedom and almost my life in prison. I've been out since 2001 and actually have a book coming out part of which covers Brian's bungling my self defense trial. Worst defense lawyer on the the planet then and now. I will expose Brain Pingor for what he has done to me in the past.

Mr. Pingor was my regional council 10 years ago. He was horrible then. I did a program so I wouldn't go to prison after I completed it, he told me they ran out of funding so I went to prison. Now 10 years later I was assigned him again. Same repeat. No contact with him, the day I called him to disc...uss my case he tried to get me to take a plea deal I wouldn't so he hung up on me. Very rude disrespectful and flat out do not care what so ever . You will have a better chance fighting for yourself. Run from this man

I received a flyer in the mail from Brian after I was taken in on a warrant. Initially I was impressed by his credentials and experience so I called his office for a consult. However, before I spoke with him I did some research and saw SOOOOOOO many TERRIBLE reviews that I was hesitant to speak wi...th him but I still kept an open mind. **DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY** I highly suggest that you run. He is VERY unprofessional, rude and arrogant and I do not take using those words to describe someone very lightly. After speaking with him for 20 minutes I felt so insulted and my hands were shaking. Find literally anybody else.. this guy isn't going to give you the time of day or the attention that your case deserves.

I hired him on behalf of my friend in which I had Power of Attorney over. He talked very professional and promising as if we had many options. However, once he was paid he did not even recognize our name without his file. My friend sat in jail over a year while Brian kept rescheduling. In the end, he... wanted us to side with the state and did nothing additional. We could have went with the free PD for that type of service. There were multiple occasions where after speaking with him I would follow up his answers with the clerk of court and find that he did not even answer my questions correctly. I wish I read the reviews first.

Mr. Pingor was given my daughters case as Regional Council by the Public Defender’s office due to a conflict of interest. He was given her case on October 12th 2017. Her pre-trail hearing was on November 20th (39 days later). In those 39 days Mr. Pingor did not contact my daughter who was sitting in ...jail, not even one time. I had spoken to his office a couple times and my daughter tried calling his office from the jail three times but was unable to speak to anyone. What kind of lawyer leaves a client in jail for over 30 days without contacting them? When her court date arrived Mr. Pingor was late by over an hour and when he arrived he was wearing a tee-shirt. He told the judge he was not aware of this case until just that day. This is an outright lie. There was no excuse for his not speaking to my daughter prior to her court date, no excuse for showing up late and no excuse for his appearance in the court that day. We plan to register complaints again Mr. Pingor with the Florida Bar Association. Two weeks before my daughters court date I went to another pre-trial hearing to observe. Mr. Pingor had a client he was supposed to represent on this day and he was not present this day either and his client was assisted by another attorney in the court room.
