Pinto Darin D

I would discourage home buyers from engaging in business with this law firm. My husband and I hired Fabian Pinto, Darin Pinto and their Paralegal James to assist us in the purchase of two separate homes. During the first transaction significant information was kept from us (e.g. The home we were putting an offer in was in Attorney Review before we submitted our offer). Our offer was not accepted by this seller but the competing buyer has now become a neighbor. Our offer was responsible for driving their home purchase price up, without our knowledge.
They participated in the purchase of our current home and the sale of our previous home. Both attorneys were very hard to reach over the phone. When we called their office we were told that they were busy in a closing and unable to return our phone calls or that they were out of town. When the days came to close on our two homes to our amazement neither attorney attended EITHER closing. We were told that they are too busy to attend closings. We had a relatively smooth closing of the home we purchased. In contrast the closing of the home we sold was a disaster.
One of the contractual agreements of the sale of our home was that we, the seller, would not address any issues other than structural or operational. The paralegal, have a time conflict with the closing of the house we were selling. He stayed long enough to complete what he considered necessary paperwork. However, after he left the purchaser refused to continue until we, the seller, paid $ 400 to remove a sandbox. Because of our pack of representation this issue gained momentum. At one point after yelling at us Fabian Pinto refused to accept our phone calls because in our frustration we used an expletive. In the end we were stuck with the $ 400 bill because we had no representation at our closing. As you can imagine the bill arrived on time with no adjustment for their lack of service.
