This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Top Lawyer in Personal Injury/Accident cases.

Dan is incredible at what he does, very thorough and a professional in his field. He worked diligently behind the scene, gathering any and all possible information, no stone left unturned. . I was impressed by the numerous focus groups Dan held, to find out how people think or feel about the facts... surrounding my case and possible jury outcomes. I received inpeccable communication throughout. Dan is very easy to get hold of and responded quickly to any and all my text messages I felt like Dan Finney Jr. truley cared about me and would except nothing less than a favorable outcome. After days of research looking for representation, I know I made the right choice !

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.
