After attending the University of Illinois for Undergraduate school I attended Northern Illinois University School of Law. I was a Prosecutor for the McLean County State's Attorneys office for 2 years before leaving the office to practice with my father Jim Finegan. I will be working closely with my father to learn Bankruptcy Law, Real Estate law and other Civil Litigation matters.
