Joseph Shannon, Nursing home abuse and neglect Attorney on Dec 14, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I had the privilege of working with Larry many years ago when we worked at the same firm. He is an excellent lawyer, an aggressive advocate, and a results oriented individual. I highly recommend Larry!
I endorse this lawyer and the remarkable work that gets done for clients.
Michael Waddington, Personal injury Attorney on May 21, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse Lawrence. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.
Barry Doyle, Wrongful death Attorney on Jan 26, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Larry and I were on opposite sides on a matter involving the distribution of proceeds from a wrongful death settlement. Larry went above and beyond the call of duty in representing his client's interests and demonstrated a real breadth of knowledge as well as top notch written and oral advocacy skills, all combined with great civility and ethics.
Gary Newland, Medical malpractice Attorney on Jun 15, 2010
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer's work. Larry is excellent. He understands complicated legal issues and is a hard worker. Larry is a credit to the profession.
Richard Ehrlich, Wrongful death Attorney on Mar 9, 2010
Relationship: Friend
Aside from being an astute lawyer, Lawrence Finn possesses a quality that is not common in attorneys: devotion. It has been my experience in knowing him for the past twenty-seven years that he is uncommonly devoted to both his family and friends as well as his clients. Unlike many of his colleagues, Larry connected with his clients, communicates well with them, and leaves nothing behind in rendering assistance. There are a lot of smart lawyers out there, and surely Larry is one of them, but few possess his tenacity when it comes to communication and service to those around him. If the case is important and you can have only one lawyer, Larry is the one.
Scott Henry, Litigation Attorney on Apr 21, 2009
Relationship: Co-worker
Larry combines a zeal for representing injured people with a high level of legal acumen to be an excellent lawyer and, more importantly, an excellent person.
Michael Drumke, Personal injury Attorney on Mar 27, 2009
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Larry is an exceptionally gifted and dedicated trial lawyer. I was fortunate enough to work alongside Larry for almost seven years and during that entire time I found him to be a talented, creative and relentless advocate on behalf of his clients. Larry’s experience as a former defense lawyer, particularly in the areas of medical malpractice, toxic torts, product liability and insurance coverage, provide him with a unique advantage in representing injured clients. I would recommend Larry without reservation.
Ben Neiburger, Nursing home abuse and neglect Attorney on Mar 24, 2009
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Larry on cases and referred cases to him. He is an exceptional lawyer.
