Hire Mike...NOW!

I was super sketched out about hiring a lawyer to get out of my timeshare, but Mike met with me in person (I live local) and walked me through the whole process. His team made me feel at ease, and I had Jonathan represent me on my case intake and Louise handled the legal processing. Both were excelle...nt, professional and very patient with me. Mike’s price was highly competitive with other firms I interviewed, but given his winning record on timeshares I was happy to go with him!

Timeshare issue

We needed help with a recent Timeshare issue and we were up against a deadline. I spoke to a very helpful online chat person who asked me some questions and set up a morning call. First thing in the morning Tommy T called me and helped me through our issue. I cant tell you how much my wife and I appr...eciated the prompt help !

Excellent Service - Very Professional - Highly Recommend

My husband and I hired Finn Law Group to help us get out of a timeshare we should have never been pressured into buying. They explained the procedure, time frame and cost. At first we were very hesitant, but are so glad we hired them. From intake with Mike M. to updates from Cheryl F, we feel we w...ere at least kept in the loop as to what was happening. It is a slow process, not necessarily on their end, but getting response from the timeshare company. We are very grateful to them for all they have done to help get us out of a terrible situation. Thanks for everything you have been doing to help others in the same position.

Timeshare Cancellation Success

My family and I went on vacation 10 yrs ago to Cabo San Lucas. When we got there we were accosted by unscrupulous timeshare sales people who park themselves at the entrance of the airport to harass people with timeshare sales. When we got to the hotel they took us on a tour and soon we found ourselv...es having an owner's lunch and being highly pressured to buy. These are desperate sales people who take advantage of unsuspecting tourists. They liquored us up and soon we were signing to buy a timeshare that we really did not want. We have tried to get out of it unsuccessfully until this past weekend when I was doing research and came across the Finn Law Group. They were truly God sent. I read the reviews, I chatted with a very nice lady and she connected me with Tammy. Tammy guided me through my options to get out. I followed up her advise and a week later I received contract release documents from the timeshare. I am truly happy to have found them. They were helpful, honest and they did not charge me a cent for their advise and guidance. I highly recommended them. If the rating went to 10 stars I would give them 11. The peace of mind alone they have given us is priceless. Thank you.

Great Service

We contacted the Finn Law Group after talking to several other companies that helped get you out of timeshares. Finn Law Group was the only one with actual attorneys that handled the case. They communicated with us every step of the way. We are now Timeshare Free! Excellent customer service. Exc...ellent service period! Highly Recommended.

  • 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.
