Criminal defense

Matt finney was a great lawyer for me. He was always there to make sure I got bond. Also he got me released early on papers. Mrs finney was my lawyer 3 different times and was always there for me.

Great

Matt represented me in a case and was able to get me completely out of it in a professional manner and was always available when I needed to consult with him. He’s very hands on and genuine. He’s a great lawyer and I won’t use anyone else if I ever need representation in the future.

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.
