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.

Blessing in a time of need,,,,,,,,

Having never had to deal with the Court system before, we had no idea what to expect. Mr Finch was a blessing to our family. He stayed in constant contact with us keeping us up to date on the details. Mr Finch is very knowledgeable in the law, but he able to communicate it to you in a way you understand. His concern was always, what was in the best interest of us, and that meant the world to us. We would highly recommend him to anyone.
