Insane in the Membrane? Michael T. Pines faces competency hearing



Many people who have had run-ins with Encinitas foreclosure attorney Michael T. Pines (no relation to La Jolla personal injury lawyer Michael Pines) would agree.

Union-Trib: Judge doubts Pinesy's mental state.
Criminal proceedings against a controversial foreclosure attorney from North County have been suspended after a Superior Court judge expressed doubts about his "mental competency," said officials with the San Diego County District Attorney's Office.

Judge Runston G. Maino has ordered a Friday hearing to determine whether Michael T. Pines, who advised clients to retake possession of their foreclosed homes, should undergo a mental evaluation to see if he is fit to stand trial.

"The hearing judge expressed a doubt as to Mr. Pines' competency," said James Romo, the prosecutor assigned to the case.

Judge Maino has appointed a lawyer to represent Pines for "the limited purpose" of Friday's hearing, Romo added. If Pines is found mentally competent to stand trial, then the preliminary hearing will be set for Sept. 6.

Of course, a common indicator of insanity is the denial that one is insane:


Pines, 59, calls the judge's order "a delay tactic," saying he's an experienced attorney.

"They're trying to get more time because they realized they have no case," he told the Union-Tribune on Monday.

The judge might want to consider Pinesy's letter to the state bar and his lawsuit against banks, cities, the county, the state bar and others. They contain subtle indications of BATSHIT FRIGGIN' CRAZY!

  3. Cut the guy some slack. Several years ago he had a brain tumor removed (seriously)-- more likely than not, this is a relapse. The real issue here is how long it took the State Bar to take him out of circulation.

  4. A BRAIN TUMOR? Yeah, RIGHT!

    Michael T. Pines and his family members are not commenting on articles about him with more and more insane crap. Insanity must run in the family.

    THERE WILL BE NO SYMPTHY HERE, AND THE ONLY MISCARRAGIE OF JUSTICE IS THAT PINES IS STILL AROUND and the fictitious tumor didn’t take him out and save the 70+ victims of Pines money, time, energy and his other victims YEARS of PURE HELL when he stalked and harassed them.


    Michael T. Pines was well aware of the thefts and hundreds of thousands of dollars he stole from innocent, desperate homeowners facing foreclosure, so don’t try to blame it on anything but Michael T. Pines’GREED, THEFT, AND CRIMINAL ACTS.

    Michael T. Pines was very COHEARANT when he took his client’ LAST DOLLARS for himself; and depositing it in an offshore account with his cohort and ex-girlfriend/business partner, Sandy, Utah based Kathleen Van Sleen.


    Michael T. Pines was WELL AWARE of his actions when he stalked 4 individuals who all have restraining orders against him.

    Michael T. Pines was WELL AWARE of the harassment he inflicted on those individuals when he called, emailed, threatened, stalked and harassed them.

    Michael T. Pines KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEENT RIGHT AND WRONG AND HE CHOOSE TO LINE HIS OWN POCKETS WITH STOLEN MONEY and now he and his family members are trying to pull the insanity card to get a plea. F--- That Ploy.


    Michael T. Pines was well aware of his actions when he threatened the lives of 4 individuals and their families. Michael T. Pines was well aware of his actions when he threatened the life of a FEDERAL JUDGE and a Carlsbad Law Enforcement Officer.


    Michael T. Pines DOES NOT DESERVE SLACK or SYMPATHY YOU MORON, Michael T. Pines DESERVES A JAIL CELL AND HIS VICTIMS DESERVE TO BE REPAID.

  6. The above comment is so completely adolescent and hysterical as to not merit a substantive, adult response. It's sad to see such obsession, venom and hatred. Then again, how does the old saying go .. "humans by and large can be nasty little creatures". I trust the writer is enjoying the personal hell she has created for herself.

  7. Suzanne Floyd, stop protecting your 59 year old son. He STOLE MONEY from the INNOCENT and you call the comment hysterical?

    Yes, sadly harming people and insane comments runs in the family. Michael T. Pines was in debt to you when he was arrested the FIRST time, and you bailed him out.

    Michael T. Pines owed you money since 2008 and you’ve NEVER been repaid, you just keep shelling it out. Now it’s what, the sixth arrest, and you are STILL bailing him out?

    YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR ALLOWING YOUR SON TO PERPETRATE CRIMES ON INNOCENT DESPERATE PEOPLE AND CONTINUE TO RESCUE HIM FROM THE HELL HE’S CREATED FOR HIMSELF, AND YOUR FAMILY. YOUR FORMER FAMILY NAME, PINES,IS BEING DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD BY YOUR SON WHO HAS COMMITTED CRIMES, FRAUDS AND PONZI SCHEMES FOR YEARS. But, hell, you don't care, it's NO LONGER your last name.

    YOU SHOULD BE FURTHER HORRIFIED THAT YOU HAD TO BAIL YOUR 59 YEAR OLD SON OUT OF JAIL AT A COST OF $22,700 BOND on a $227,000. Bail. Trust me, some jail time is in order to STOP THE CRIMINAL ACTS OF MICHAEL T. PINES. YOUR PATHETIC SUPPORT OF HIM proves that you are cut from the same criminal cloth.

    In case you STILL don't get it, YOU ARE A VICTIM of Michael T. Pines also. You'll never be repaid, and you know it. THIS IS guaranteed. The money he stole from clients is in an off shore account, collecting interest, while your slimeball son cries to you that he's broke and can't repay you, since 2008.

    You are in your 80's, your son is waiting for you to enter your grave so he doesn't have to repay you or your his hundreds of victims, and I’m sure that is OK with you since you can’t see the forest though the trees.

    The fact you support him and his criminal actions is disturbing at best, but then again, the apple never falls far from the tree.

    You want to hear hysterical, talk to his victims who are homeless, who he stole from. Then you can understand the MAGNITUDE OF HIS CRIMINAL ACTS. Sick, Sick, Sick, Criminal Family “Values”. Everyone in your family needs counseling and a psychological exam.

  8. Michael T. Pines stole money from my family and caused us to lose our house. He gave us false hope that he would save our house. He took $12,000. We had to borrow $10,000 from family members and he never did anything with our case. Now we have to repay the money he stole from us. Pines kept the money and ignored our calls and emails and then sent us a rude email telling us we owed him more money for him to continue working on our case which was never filed. Pines deserves to be behind bars for the pain he caused us. We have filed police reports and will probably join a class action suit against him since there are 5 other families I found online who also lost over $12,000 given to Pines who had us go to his bank and deposit our money into his bank account at Wells Fargo.

  10. More victims who fell prey to Michael T. Pines and his lies and cold, calculating scam:

    http://marinfamilyaction.org/blog/2011/08/pines-again/

    If you do not believe the truth about Pines or is rallying in support of Pines: call Manny Fernandez the Director of MARIN FAMILY ACTION. Manny has been very public about the 7 familes Pines stole $35,000.00 from. Manny will put you in contact with those families. The author of this blog should do an in-depth interview with those families.

    MICHAEL T. PINES: ORDERED FOR A MENTAL EXAM, ARRESTED 6 TIMES now with 5 FELONIES, LAW LICENSE REMOVED AND ABOUT TO BE FULLY DISBARRED, THE LIST GOES ON....AND ONE OF THE ABOVE COMMENTORS IS CALLING A TRUTH TELLER IMMATURE AND HYSTERICAL? I THINK your sicko support for a sicko is immature. I thnk PINES is immature. I think you need to do some research adn talk to some of Pines' ex-clients who he ripped off.

    PINSEY VICTIMS:
    STAND UP, UNITE, AND FIGHT BACK. The California Bar is going after Pines but very slowly. You may be able to get some money back.

  12. Psycho-Boy Pines will soon be proven to be INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE, he can't control himself.

    Pines is UNDER ARREST AGAIN, his next court date is Dec. 2nd. He's being held on a ONE MILLION dollars bail. It goes without saying his arrest is for MORE THREATS TO THE PUBLIC OF GREAT BODILY HARM. The psycho stalker and harasser is making verbal threats, but is seems SOMEONE kicked his ass per the Union-Trib. Finally his BIG, OBNOXIOUS, ARROGANT mouth paid off for the public.

    His attorney and the booking information says he's in the medical ward of the San Diego Central Jail. Michael T. Pines is a deranged danger to society. His family must be glowing with pride. Maybe they can use his booking photo or arraignment photos for their holiday card.


    1 Million Dollars means his a PUBLIC THREAT. The booking information says "NO BAIL", not sure which is correct. Someone needs to get a screen shot of Pines' latest booking info:

  14. Has anyone commenting here read the book he refers to in his pleadings? "The Monster,How a Gang of Predatory Lenders & Wall Street Bankers Fleeced America and Spawned a Global Crisis," by Michael W. Hudson, Times Books, Henry-Holt Co., LLC,. 2010 ("Monster").
    Michael Pines states that "All the proof is in that book. It is full of complete legal citations, annotations and irrefutable legal proof,"...and is the legal under-pinnings for his actions that have brought him to jail,...for no other reason than him fighting the powerful interests (banks), involved in the fraud & theft he refers to. I mean,...calling for his competency to be tested rather than put his allegations to the test,...and be done in the first place,...c'mon?!? Seems obvious once you've done some research and have knowledge?!?
    From my own extensive research, I find his arguments are spot on?!? So, I wanted to know if anyone else commenting has done any research or read the book?
    As far as his other cases or any threatening actions he may or may not have committed,...I simply couldn't comment on because I have incomplete background information and facts in order to pass any judgment?
    But,...his knowledge of the illegal loan origination, securitization, CDO's, CDS's, credit enhancement insurance, fraudulent assignments and perjury & theft by the Banks's,...Michael T. Pines, is exactly spot on!

  15. Update: Pines moved from Medical Unit to a regular housing unit (8C) in the San Diego Central Jail. Once again the Sheriff is GUESSING at Pines height and weight. Sheriff says 5'7", maybe, but I'm going with FREAKY Napoleon complex and giving him not a centimeter over 5'6". And 200 lbs.? The Sheriff must be blind, not have a scale in the medical unit Pines just spent a week in, or just trusting Pines' word, which we all know if he's talking he's lying (or harassing or threatening). Pines is a rotund 250-270 lbs easy.

    Maybe, just maybe, now after Pines’ 6th arrest Pines’ family will FINALLY REALIZE he’s a psycho stalker, a sick bastard, and a menace to society. But probably not. They are bailing him out, and treating him with kid gloves, buying all his Bull$hit, lies, and insane rants voicing his delusions about his victims. They are still drinking the Pines’ Kool-Aid feeling NOTHING for the victims he stalked, harassed, followed, sued, lied about, stole from…..the list goes on. Sick, Deranged Pines has a family that wants the victims to go away and not speak out while they wrap a little shell of protection around their lunatic relative, not caring about the HAVOC he’s wreaked on the lives of others.

    1. This is news? Attorneys do this often-very often. I can see how this man lost his home and is crazed would go looking for ways to make money. I mean who didn't- who doesn't have their hands just hovering outside of your pocket these days? I gave 12,000 for a divorce never filed, never ascertained the custody of my child, never served papers. But he did take the money and still sends more bills because he said he tried to call out of state. A very bad deal for sure but it's over. I'm not getting it back. I got my divorce for free with the help of the divorce workshop at county justice. Holding hate only hurts the hater. Oh yeah I also lost my house that year- had 500,000 in cash equity. Anyone who has lost a house esp during this countrywide take-over was put through hell and while it was happening all we heard was it's all your fault...you wanted a house. Lost our credit and couldn't even go get a decent apartment. Ease up on all this blaming, be vigilant about your money and those who take it from you. Don't sit there speak up and keep it up until you get what you need. And most of all let go of the hate, it certainly won't get you where you want to be.

  16. SICK FREAK Michael T. Pines has
    been moved to a new jail. Pines lives at the George Bailey Detention Facility in Otay Mesa.
    This facility is for those spending more than 30 days in jail and / or with prior arrests.

    I wonder if his mommy and family (since he doesn't have a single friend in the world) will drive down to Otay to visit their Freaky Creepy Stalking Sicko?

    HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVNG, MICHAEL T. PINES! I hear the food in the San Diego jail is comparable to dog food. YUM for you. I hope someone is teaching you a lesson (kicking your fat A$s) behind bars.

    Pines doesn't have a dime, but you can put a lien on his bank accounts. His mommy has been supporting him for YEARS, so it's just a matter of time before she keels over dead at 80+ years old and leaves him an inheritance.
