This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great attorney

Mr. Fina took my case for an automobile accident I had while on vacation in Chicago. I do not live in the area and live several hours away. Despite the distance, Mr. Fina communicated with me regularly and settled my case quickly and efficiently. I am very happy that Mr. Fina was my attorney. My only... regret is that I don’t live in the city and can’t use him for other affairs!!! Anyone in the area, I highly recommend him. He’s very knowledgeable and a great man!

Avvo Rating

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.
