Local boy Michael T. Pines finds fame in SF Bay Area



Check it out at Marin Family Action. Pinesy compares himself to Martin Luther King.

A Southern California attorney accused of bilking distressed homeowners is facing felony charges and could wind up getting disbarred. The attorney is advising clients in Marin County and around the state to break into their former homes after losing them to foreclosure.

“I’m going to precipitate an armed confrontation,” Michael Pines said in a cell phone video obtained by San Diego’s KGTV. “You want me to say it again? I’m going to force an armed confrontation.”

KGTV was on-hand in October when Pines helped a family break back into their foreclosed home in Escondido, the same thing 75-year-old Mill Valley resident Ursula McComas said Pines told her to do after she paid him a $5,000 retainer. The Mill Valley Police Department later hauled McComas away in handcuffs.

“It was just humiliating,” McComas said. “I couldn’t believe what was happening. It was so inhumane.”

The bruises that the handcuffs left were still visible on McComas.

Pines has been arrested numerous times himself for trespassing and confronting security guards while helping his clients break into homes. He sees nothing wrong with the advice he gives his clients.

“Martin Luther King got arrested, I don’t know how many times,” Pines said. “So did other world leaders that turned out to be right in the end.”

  1. Michael T. Pines is a certified freak, which will be OBVIOUS to ANYONE who has EVER had one conversation with him.

    Michael T. Pines has a hearing in Vista Court next week for his criminal charges in San Diego. WHY is he not being prosecuted for the Bay Area thefts?

    STAND UP MARIN FAMILY ACTION, Manny Fernandez, Ursula McComas, and Jose Toletino and the MANY OTHERS WHO MICHAEL T. PINES STOLE MONEY FROM AND GET YOUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY INVOLVED!!! NOW!!

    YOU CAN ALSO GET YOUR MONEY BACK BY CALLING THE STATE BAR OF CALIFORNIA AND FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE CHEIF TRIAL COUNSEL. YOU CAN ALSO APPLY FOR A REFUND and make a claim at the State Bar from their Client Security Fund. Phone 213-765-1140.

    DO NOT LET PINES GET AWAY WITH THESE THEFTS AND HIDING YOUR MONEY IN HIS OFF-SHORE ACCOUNTS, GO GET YOUR MONEY BACK!

    MICHALE T. PINES now owes his Mommy, Suzanne Floyd, and step father, Jim Floyd, $22,700. for the bail they put up for him on his $227,000 bail (10%).

    Pines is 60 years old and borrowing from his mommy and SHE SUPPORTS HIM AND HIS CRIMES BY LETTING HIM OUT OF JAIL INSTEAD OF LETTING HIM SIT AND ROT UNTIL HIS HEARING LIKE HE SHOULD.

    Seriously - what 60 year old guy borrows money from their mommy to get bailed out of jail? PINEBALL THE SLIMEBALL!

    You raised a criminal Suzanne Floyd, you must be so proud. You didn’t care about his VICTIMS, you just bailed him out in support of his STALKING, HARRASSMENT AND THEFTS. SICK, SICK, SICK, DERRANGED FAMILY.

    I can see where MICHAEL T. Pines gets his values, I mean, LACK OF VALUES from - HIS Mommy, Suzanne Floyd.

  4. 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:

  5. Sick Thief Michael T.Pines DISBARRED by the State Bar of California:

    http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Member/Detail/77771

    Victims of Pines, sue the sicko and get your money back.
    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.
