I keep the system honest and help save people's freedom. As an intern for the States Attorneys office, I tried cases as a prosecutor. This helped me to understand both sides in a criminal case, which ultimately gives my client a leg up in Court.

Okay so this is how crazy life can get and how this world works in mysterious ways to bring things into perspective. I had a pretty bad week and got 3 open cases throughout different counties in CT. I thank God that when I went on Google the person who’s name was there was Peter Finch. What I apprec...iate from Peter is how upfront, genuine and real he is. We scheduled a meeting and got to speak, I felt the genuine concern and real talk that I was looking for from an individual to represent me. Not only has Peter helped me in my legalities in ways I did not believe was possible ( facing MULTIPLE felonies in 3 different counties ) he’s helping me avoid jail time which is a real blessing respectfully. Peter Finch is an amazing attorney all around. Please take it from a man who is humbled and appreciative to be able to stay free and do the right thing for his family and for himself. My girl/partner who’s my co-defendant retained a lawyer who was a horrible individual. Smiled in my face yet would talk to my partner, yes my GF/PARNTER and try to convince her to just put the blame on me which would make sense nowadays with how humans don’t have the best morale and tend to just think for themselves but also had the audacity to have me retained by one of his associate. I was left disgusted and at a loss at what I should do but that’s when i found Peter! Peter Finch is very admirable individual and I will highly recommend him for your next legal issues!

Seamless process

Going through a criminal case is not easy when you have never went through the process before. Lawyer Finch clearly explained what I should expect during the court proceedings. If I ever need help if I get in a pinch I will call Lawyer Finch.

Peter has Be there for me many times from Injury to alleged criminal, Stands behind his last name and every session is easy going and understandable. With his experience alone it makes a great impact on him as well as clients.

My Super Hero.

“I had a bad week.”. It ended me in court. First time in my life. Work was tight and I wasn’t making enough to afford a lawyer, but making too much for a public defender. Peter and I met by happenstance. From the moment we connected I knew I could trust him. I teach yoga for a living and Pete...rs energy was soothing, yet commanding at the same time. I was impressed when the judge even said” you’re a very lucky man, your lawyer did a great job for you. You should make sure you thank him.” Peter worked with me on a payment program and always promptly returned my texts. I am solid again today and attorney Finch is a big part of that. Best part, it never felt like business, it was like figuring out an issue with a knowledgeable friend. Namaste.

Performance was strong and confident of his position.

I had requested For Pete Finch to represent me on a traffic violation. At that time he was busy with another case but still made it his priority to still proceed on gathering all my infomation prior to being available on my court date. once we walked in the court room he proceeded to address the co...urt on the lack of evidence towards me and being wrongly accused of a charge that I didn't comment. Once he finished speaking to the Judge the charges was dropped. All in the matter of five minutes we where done and out of the court room. The shortest time I have ever been in a court house. Thanks to Pete Finch.
