The Baddest Lady in the Courtroom!!!
My "SHERO" has struck again. Once her presence was known, it was "GAME OVER!!!" What I appreciate about Natalie is that she's so modest but will get the job, all while making her clients feel at ease. She advised me on every step to take throughout my case; which worked out in my favor. She doesn't have to Brag & Boost about her success rate. She has her work that speaks volumes. I'm quite sure she will set precedence in the highest court of the land that others will refer to in case law for years to come. Supreme Court here she comes!!!!!! Thank You Natalie!

Forever Grateful!!!!!!
Hello, I hired Natalie specifically because I know her work. She has always proven to be a bull dog in the courtroom and will not settle for nothing less than what's in the very best interest of her clients. She has single handedly taken on the bullies of the court and shown them she is a force to be reckoned with. She has restored my faith in the Justice system and I'm sure earned the Respect of her colleagues. She was instrumental in helping me to return back into Law Enforcement so that I could flourish. She not only defended me but help me get my record expunged. 18 yrs later, I was able to find her again and she is just as fierce and determine to seek justice for me once again. When they see her strut in that courtroom, they better WATCH OUT!!!!!!!! My Guardian Angel Natalie Ann McKeown Finegar

Complete Disgrace
This Attorney throw my son. With only three days before trial and without having all evidence Natalie Finegar took my son case took my money and left my son with a life sentence. The Pulbic Defender before did better. She Didn't even ask for a postponement which she should have done with only three (3) days for a Conspiracy and Murder trial. You should be ashamed of yourself Natalie Finegar.
