My Atty Josh helped me get through what started out as a very scary moment in my Life. After being married for 12 years my other half wanted out. A friend recommended Josh, and although my fight was for fair custody of the children. He fought not only for that but for what was rightly mine as far as... everything goes. He made it less scary and stressful than I thought it would be .

Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr. Finney for a child custody case involving my granddaughter during a very difficult time. When I say that I am very pleased with him I truly am. He explained the process to me, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable during this difficult time. I was awarded temporary custod...y and I feel confident in his ability for the next step. If you are looking for someone who is straightforward, compassionate, professional and cares about their client then Mr. Finney is who you should hire.
