Great Service

Mr Finn has been nothing but wonderful during a difficult time. I was in a motor vehicle accident and Mr Finn has done everything possible to help me. He is always there when I have needed him , answering phone calls, and replying in a timely manner. I highly recommend him as a lawyer especially f...or people who have been in a MVA.

Great Lawyer

Finn was great. My case was for my underage daughter. Negligence of a day care. Finn made sure i knew what was going on at all times. If i had any Questions he had an answer. Never did i feel like my case was just another case of his.

Excellent job on auto accident settlement

J. Finn Gavagan handled my auto accident in a very efficient and professional manner. He got a monetary settlement that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend using his services.

Great assistance after slip and fall

I hired Finn after a slip and fall in a retail store as I was primarily concerned with the mounting medical co-pays and expenses. After discussing my case with Finn he used his expertise and extensive knowledge to obtain a satisfactory settlement allowing me to pay my co-pays, receive compensation fo...r lost wages, as well as pain and suffering. His negotiation skills were keen and he seemed to know every aspect of his trade to maximize the settlement and minimize hassel. Highly recommend based on professionalism and results.

Took on my case last minute, helped save my sanity.

I was struck in a crosswalk by a hit and run driver and my job (that I LOVE) is very physical. The accident itself, plus the recovery were both overwhelming as it was. The legal process was terrifying and I was not equipped. What made it even harder was that the lawyer I had been working with had to ...move on half way through the process, leaving me terrified of building a relationship with a new lawyer, someone I had to trust with my everything through a really traumatic time. Finn pulled through, answered my questions simply (which was all I could handle at the time), dealt with my fears, and got me an even more fair settlement than I thought I would ever get. He dug where others hadn't thought to and fought hard to get me the settlement I deserved without any added stress for me. He did so after taking on a detailed case that he had to learn everything about and study very quickly, understand it, and without any added stress for his new client. He succeeded and I'm truly appreciative. I highly recommend Finn based off of my personal experience as his client.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
