Mr. Pinsky lectures throughout the nation at large and small conferences, including FDIC in Indianapolis.

IN MEMORY OF

David B. Garwood | 1961-2020

David Garwood was a proud member of the Pinsky Law Group for almost 14 years.  David served his clients with honor and dedication and was a vehement supporter of first responders and first response agencies.  As a first responder himself for over 30 years, David’s heart was always with the fire and EMS services.

David passed away at a young age, but we will always remember him fondly and miss him greatly.  We leave his profile as a small memorial to everything that he meant to us and his clients.
