“[T]here are very few attorneys [like Mr. Pittman] who specialize in litigating Consumer Credit Protection Act cases and counsel for Plaintiff has substantial experience and an impressive statewide reputation in this field. ”
— Judge Robert R. Merhige, Jr., Morgan v. Credit Adjustment Bd., 1998 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 8135, at *5 (E.D. Va. 1998); see also Withers v. Eveland, 997 F. Supp. 738, 740 (E.D. Va. 1998)
“Mr. Pittman’s pleadings reveal a meticulous approach to research and analysis. He has represented his clients’ cause through clear and concise pleadings. Where appropriate, he has provided thorough affidavits, copies of relevant legal news articles, and supporting memorandum opinions.”
— Judge James R. Spencer, Creighton v. Emporia Credit Serv., 1998 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6589, at *11 (E.D. Va. 1998)
“[H]is experience and reputation are second to none.”
— Judge John A. Gibney, Jr. (Jacinto v. Transworld Systems, Motion for Attorney's Fee, Sept. 30, 2020)
“The next factor is the experience and reputation and ability of the attorney, which in Mr. Pittman’s case is very high.”
— Judge John A. Gibney, Jr. (Levy v. Pioneer Credit Recovery, Inc., Motion for Attorney's Fee, June 12, 2017)
“It is apparent from Mr. Pittman’s affidavit and his practice before this Court that he is an accomplished public interest attorney with twenty-four years of public service experience, much of which has been focused on consumer protection.
Mr. Pittman has represented his client in this case with excellence by thorough fact and legal research, well-written pleadings and the zeal required of an advocate, a conclusion reached as well by other judges in other cases.
Finally, the Court is satisfied that but for the few attorneys in central Virginia like Mr. Pittman willing to take cases on behalf of clients such as Mr. Jones, an important public service would go unfulfilled.”
— Judge Dennis W. Dohnal, Jones v. Vest, 2000 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 19026 (E.D. Va. 2000)
“It is apparent from Pittman’s Affidavit and the quality of the work submitted in this arbitration that he is an accomplished trial attorney with extensive experience in the fIeld of consumer protection. Pittman has represented his clients in this case professionally and zealously and has provided this Arbitrator with a thorough factual presentation and legal research regarding the issues at bar.”
