Satisfactory Resolution

The Finn Law Firm was a great company to have on our side. We were kept informed all along the process. Our case was resolved satisfactorily. Thank You!

Timeshare canceled and credit report fixed

We are extremely pleased with their counsel in getting our timeshare canceled. They explained the process and charged a very reasonable fee. Importantly, the timeshare company mistakenly placed a foreclosure on our credit report. Finn Law works with Swift Law to assist in such cases and Swift was abl...e to assist us with successful lawsuits and settlement agreements against both the credit reporting agency as well as the timeshare company.

Great firm! Awesome Team

I reached out to this law firm after finding them on google because I was at wits end with trying to get out of my Westgate timeshare. I felt completely trapped, was fed false information etc. Well I am beyond grateful for Finn Law Group. They were organized, knowledgeable, fairly priced, and always ...kept me in the loop of what was going on. They were able to resolve my matter, canceling my timeshare contract in just 8mths. They saved me from this continued nightmare and I can finally put this all behind me! Thanks Finn Law Group!

The Best

I did a lot of research before I hired him to help me get rid of my worthless timeshare. I didn't want it to pass on to my child at my death. He did a remarkable job and we are now free. What I paid was less than those horrible yearly maintenance charges. Highly recommend.

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.
