Mr.Johhnie Finch

Mr. Finch and me took my case in superior court in Pitt county to trial . After 3 days of stressful trial I was found not guilty. I would definitely recommend him. It was like he was on trial also. He actually cares about his clients. I will never use another lawyer. Keep up the good work Finch... . Love ya bro 100

Experienced, Knowledgeable, Lawyer

Mr. Finch is a great attorney and I would absolutely recommend him again or use him if I needed a criminal defense attorney. He has experience and knows the procedures and parties in the courthouse and his advice is always spot on. He also is very responsive to questions and concerns. I approached... him at the courthouse because my friend needed a lawyer. He spoke with us that day, advised us as to what was likely to happen, and helped my friend in court and the case ultimately got dismissed.

Case Dismissed - Simple Assault, Resisting Arrest, etc

Attorney Finch is one who will make sure he does exactly what he says he's going to do. Don't worry, trust Attorney Finch to handle your case just like he says he will. He helped me, and I know he will do the same for you!!! Case Dismissed!!!

Professionalism

Mr. Finch treated our case with such professionalism. It was really a true pleasure to work with him. He was very prompt, knew exactly what to do and how to handle our case. He gave really good advice and I couldn't have chosen a better lawyer to represent my family in our time of need. I felt like h...e was part of my family because he treated my family case with such delicacy. I cannot say thank you enough. Thank you Mr. Finch. The White Family

Relationship: Friend

"Mr. Finch is a class act and the kind of intelligent and hardworking lawyer you want protecting your important legal rights. If I was charged with a potentially life changing crime and found myself at fourth and long, Johnnie would be my “go to” guy to make the first down. Putting all your eggs in Johnnie’s basket and having him catch or run with legal ball when your case, and life, is on the line is just a smart coaching move. I’m really glad our paths have crossed and I look forward to referring my clients to Mr. Finch who need the help of an outstanding criminal defense lawyer the North Carolina area. Thanks for all the legal touchdowns you score in the courtroom and how hard your work to protect those who are wrongfully accused of crimes."
