Darin, Louis and Amy all make up a wonderful legal group that made a difficult time in my life easy. They were professional, ethical and most of all compassionate to all my needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Darin Pinto is an extremely knowledgeable attorney and was extremely helpful when foreclosure of my home was evident. He lead my wife and I through the process and assisted in reducing our stress level. He was always available to talk and provided a sense of comfort knowing we were in good hands. He has been my attorney for the past thirteen years assisting with other financial issues including bankruptcy. I have always been satisfied with his services and that of his staff. He supports his clients with a can do attitude and brings about the best possible resolution.

My wife and I moved from out-of-state and were connected with Darin through our real estate agent (she gave us a list of 4-5 names). I called a couple of the names on the list and they all seemed great, but I knew Darin was our guy within a minute of talking to him. I think the main thing I'd underscore about Darin (among many other strengths) is that he just puts you at ease. I won't be trite and say that Darin makes you feel like he's helping a family member, but he comes pretty darn close. The home buying process is extremely stressful -- even if you've done it before -- and we just felt like we didn't have anything to worry about legally in going with Darin. Besides having such a great demeanor, Darin is extremely knowledgable, responsive, assertive when he has to be, and just overall was a pleasure to work with. I honestly can't recommend Darin more (to the point where I'm taking time on Memorial Day weekend to hopefully help someone else find a great lawyer).

Darin was very helpful, informative and knowledgeable during our initial consultation regarding bankruptcy due to a very unfair legal judgment against us. Although ultimately we did not qualify for bankruptcy, he spent an inordinate amount of time with us discussing our situation with zero compensation or benefit to himself. As an experienced paralegal, I wish we could have hired him. He instills confidence and hope in a very dire time.

My husband and I were referred by another attorney whom we used for an auto accident. Darin and his staff were understanding, sensitive and most importantly accessible to us during a difficult time. After a few years of my husband being out of work we decided we had to file bankruptcy since we could no longer keep up. We filed chapter 13 and Darin guided us through all stages of the process. Anytime we had questions either he or one of his staff answered us promptly and professionally. I was never made to feel like my concerns were invalid or nonsense. During the time of the bankruptcy we also did a loan modification of our mortgage. Darin and his team assisted us with this as well. Every step of the way he was there for us. He never sugarcoated anything, he gave us the real deal and we couldn't have appreciated it more. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has to make this difficult decision of filing bankruptcy. Many thanks to him and his staff.

Darin was referred to me through my cousin, who is a highly respected attorney in NJ. He handled my parents Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case which was very difficult for them since they are elderly and one parent is battling stage 4 cancer along with other health issues. Darin was highly professional, sensitive, and guided us through the process every step of the way. He is extremely knowledgeable and has many years of experience dealing with Bankruptcy law. He explained everything to my parents and me in simple terms and put all of our minds at ease. Can't say enough good things - I will certainly use him again for any other legal issues that me or my family will need.

Darrin was very helpful in guiding me throughout my messy ch 7 bankruptcy. He is accommodating, and definitely knows what he's doing.

Darin was recommended by my divorce attorney for the resulting short sale of my home. He helped make the process understandable, navigable and, ultimately, negotiated a favorable situation for me. He or a member of his team was always available. He went the extra mile personally to accommodate my schedule and location when it came time for the final paperwork to be signed. I highly recommend Darin.

I have engaged this attorney for two different matters regarding mortgage and short sale. In each matter he was successful in getting a workable situation for us; additionally, his staff was first rate. In particular, he was sensitive regarding our financial plight; I never thought I would be in financial trouble or having my mortgage in jeopardy-I was humiliated to say the least. Mr. Pinto assured me that this was a normal situation and then many are facing hard times, regardless of position or title. He made discussing these matters comfortable and removed the air of shame I experienced. Since originally engaging Mr. Pinto I have sent two associates to him and they have both had a positive, similar outcome. I would recommend Mr. Pinto to all facing mortgage problems without hesitation or reservation.

Darin helped us with a bankruptcy and is in process of helping us with a foreclosure. Obviously, we think highly of him as we are continuing to work with him. Our circumstances were complicated. We came to him with quite a mess. 1. We had difficult personal issues we were sorting through, as well as 2. Trying to untangle a business from our personal lives, and 3. Wading through the bankruptcy and foreclosure processes. Darin made this easy and was sympathetic to our circumstances. His rates were VERY fair. I never felt as if we were being taken advantage of. If you're experiencing the same situation you're probably well aware of the vultures circling. Do yourself a favor and call Darin first. Ultimately, Darin and his team were efficient and ended up saving us a substantial amount of money (long term), headaches and pain. If you're shopping around you'd be well served to stop shopping and just use Darin Pinto.

As an absentee owner of a rental property in northern New Jersey, I required legal counsel related to termination of a contentious Tenancy Agreement pursuant to listing and sale of the property. Mr. Pinto was recommended to me by my realtor. I found Mr. Pinto to be an experienced real estate attorney and very knowledgeable with respect to my rights and obligations as a landlord and the proper steps to conclude the Tenancy Agreement. He laid out a course of recommended action(s) tailored to my end objective. From that point forward, he acted on my behalf in negotiations with the tenants to wrap up the Tenancy Agreement. He further represented me in a very smooth and hassle free closing of the property sale. I found Mr. Pinto to be a pragmatic thinker and problem solver. During the period of the retainer, he communicated closely with me on progress and issues encountered in the negotiations. Lastly, in my view Mr. Pinto's fees were reasonable and services rendered exceeded my expectation. Without reservation, I recommend Mr. Pinto to anyone who requires legal counsel related to Tenancy Agreements and/or listing and sale of real estate.

I was in a distressing debt situation with with high credit card balances that would not go away despite paying significantly more than the minimum payment. The credit card companies raised rates to 25%-30% because I was late with a payment. This combined with an adverse mortgage that I got at the top of the market was putting enormous strain on me despite making a decent salary. I was one of those people who was jerked around by mortgage companies for refinancing, modifications etc., and they would always leave me hanging. When I met Darin in August 2010, he laid out a roadmap of alternative scenarios and we then decided on a course to follow that I was comfortable with. Each goal was met in a process that eliminated all debt 100%. Along the way, I found Darin to be extremely communicative and responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Darin's staff have also been great to work with keeping me informed and alerting me to any changes or actions I would need to take. Now that this process has concluded, I am very grateful for the work Darin and his staff have done on my behalf. I can say without reservation that I highly recommend the Law Offices of Darin D. Pinto. In the event that anyone I know needs a great attorney, I will tell them to call Darin Pinto.
