He is a Fraud and a thief

Don Pumphrey is a fraud. He was my boyfriend's lawyer for 2 years and never even filed ONE motion (except for his motion to withdraw a month before the trial) never contacted any of his witnesses, took $10,000 and literally did NOTHING... other than ask for more money. He texted my boyfriend one day telling him to call ASAP, it was urgent. My boyfriend called him and got no answer, a couple of minutes later, Don texted asking him why he called because he was in a meeting and couldn't talk. It had only been 15 minutes since he had texted my boyfriend telling him to call, it was urgent!!! He sat in on a deposition that my boyfriend's co-defendants attorney was holding, and Don called my boyfriend by the WRONG NAME OVER 20 TIMES!!
UGH!!! This guy is the WORST lawyer I've ever seen. DO NOT waste your money!!!

WORST LAWYER EVER!!!

This guy is a JOKE!! The only thing this guy cares about is money. I was his client for 2 years and he couldn't even remember my NAME!! He called me 3 times in one day asking for me to add money to my account the day after I had put $2,500 in it. He texted me and said it was important that I call him right away, I called him 5 minutes later and he texted me back asking if what I was calling about was important because he was in a meeting... and now after $10,000 spent, a month before my trial and he's withdrawing from my case after not filing ANY motions I asked him to file, not getting a plea deal, or even talking to any of the witnesses I provided him. If you want to waste your money, he's your guy. If you want competent representation, I'd run.

Domestic violence

I sought an attorney for my friend who is arrested in jail for a reason for domestic violence. Mr. Pumphrey Don provided me very useful information through my first consultation. He also sent me the zoom meeting link to the First Appearance with a judge, through which I and my friend`s family can join to know what is happening in the Pre-Trail. This is very helpful to make a plan in advance for the future. Dr. Pumphrey was straightforward and intelligent. I am 100% satisfied with this consultation.

If your college kid makes a mistake this is the attorney you need

I wish I would had hired Mr Pumphrey from the beginning. We send our kids to college and if they make a mistake, it is hard not knowing attorneys in Tallahassee. One day you receive a call and as a parent, you need to immmediately hire a good attorney. Take this advice from me and hire a litigator. As a parent, who was unaware of the laws, I quickly learned there is a difference between a litigator and an attorney who simply makes plea deals. The actions taken after your child's arrest make a lasting impact on your kid's life. Mr Pumphrey is the atttorney to hire. He will fight for your child versus settle. And if he needs to settle, believe me when I say the outcome will be better. My child is a free man with no charges, thanks to Don Pumphrey. Mr Pumphrey went out of his way to make this happen. He was able to vacate a prior plea (made by another ineffective attorney) and make the difference for my son's life. I am lucky an attorney in Miami referred me to Mr Pumphrey as being the best in Tallahassee. I am writing this review to help other parents who are in the situation I was as a parent. Look no further and trust you child's case to Don Pumphrey. Please don't allow your child to settle for less. Kids will grow and learn but a bad legal decision will impact your child forever.

Honest integrity

I sought an attorney for my son who is attending fsu. I needed someone I could trust because I live in a different county and can't always be there when my son needed me. Don reassured us and relaxed us within the first moments of our initial visit. He was straight forward, intelligent, and brought integrity to the table. You will not find a finer, more experienced criminal attorney in Tallahassee to handle mistakes made by yourself or your student.

Don Pumphrey A+ 10/10

I chose Don over the next guy because unlike other firms Don meets with you directly and you aren't passed around between different attorneys. He makes you feel right at home and gives you his honest opinion. He has the best price in town and knows everyone there is to know. I would trust him with my case 10/10 times, A+ lawyer!

A Attorney You Want to Defend You: Don Pumphrey

Amazing attorney. Was always 100% honest with me, and worked hard to defend my case. Nearly 10 years after my case, I called Don for advice on a professional application, and he remembered everything about my case. He was prompt to responding to my inquiries and guided me in a professional manner. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. He is 100% approachable and able to be reached at anytime.

Superior Attorney with an amazing team!

Not only have I personally retained Mr. Pumphtey's services more than once, I have also referred a number of other people who have likewise engaged his services. Mr. Pumphrey is comfortably and deservedly in the upper echelon of the top tier of criminal defense attorneys in Tallahassee; and there are a number of excellent attorneys in this cohort. But Mr. Pumphrey also brings to the table an entire team of attorneys and other exceptionally qualified and dedicated professionals which work together to afford the highest caliber representation for their clients. But don't just take my word for it. The results are easily found and speak for themselves. I easily recommend Don Pumphrey, Jr., Esquire and his team for your consultation and consideration.

Don saved my life!

I was a college student when I ran into some legal trouble. After receiving many great recommendations about Don, I scheduled my consultation. He was compassionate and put me at ease in regards to my situation. When I hired Don, I knew I had made the right choice. He worked relentlessly to achieve the best possible outcome in my circumstances. Don and his entire staff were always available to help me and comfort me. I would recommend Don Pumphrey, Jr to absolutely anyone with any legal trouble at all. I can't imagine encountering a more personable or capable defense attorney.

Don is a truly outstanding criminal defense attorney. I have known Don for years and have co-counseled very complicated college student conduct code violation cases with him. His background in law enforcement and professional sports, as well as his depth of experience and passion for fairness combine to make Don an unusually capable and successful attorney.

It is with great pleasure that I extend my unequivocal endorsement. I have had the opportunity to work for, with, and against Mr. Pumphrey during my seven years as both a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. He works tirelessly and dedicates himself wholly to his clients and their cases. He provides a level of customer service and advocacy that is unparalleled. Every client that walks in his door is treated like family.

You cannot go wrong hiring Don to represent you. He puts the client first and is extremely responsive to questions. He's aggressive and results-oriented, which is what you want out of a criminal defense attorney. Don gave me my first job out of law school and 6 years later I'm still here. He's the reason I'm where I'm at today.
