About

I broke some pretty serious news to my wife right near our 1st wedding anniversary. She was pregnant with our first child. She was finally feeling well enough to go out. At that dinner, I told her I was quitting my job and didn’t know if I would have another job. I had talked with my dad about coming on with him but he told me there were no guarantees. He told me I would always have a space to work but “you eat what you kill”. It was either stay where I was and find a way to be content or see what I could make of it with my dad and brother.I knew I wasn’t happy at my current job though it was a great opportunity—I was representing insurance companies but trying to tell myself I was helping individuals. I was only helping myself. The job almost doubled my previous salary and gave me benefits I only dreamed about (a secretary and an expense account). It took a lot of pressure off of my monthly student loan payment. I quit. I went to the basement of my dad’s office—no windows, not even fluorescent lighting. My dad hooked me up with a computer and said “I can pay you for a little while but I don’t know for how long.” That was all the assurance I needed.At that point, I didn’t care if I never got paid. I figured there was a way to make it. So I jumped in. I put up my own site (it failed miserably). I tried hustling tickets. I tried criminal defense cases and worker’s compensation. I took more small claims cases to trial than anyone I knew (I also found out there is a limit on how many small claims cases you can file).My first settlement was a $20,000 case from a client way down in Doniphan, Missouri. My next one was a $1.25 million dollar case that jump-started it all for me. A truck driver was way over hours, omitted log times, and was on his phone at the time he rammed my client from behind in a construction zone. My client ended up dying several months after the settlement—his end-stage renal disease got him. He was a super nice guy who died happily. When I got to the funeral, I saw his wife. She had brand new teeth. She flashed me a huge smile.There have been plenty of $500 cases littered throughout where we lost money. I have lost trials for clients that people told me I should not have taken and I have won eight-figure judgments for clients. It has been up and down but authentic the entire time. And I have been given access to plenty of mentors who have provided lots of encouragement, including my dad and brother.Since opening my own trial practice, my team and I have helped all kinds of people. Immigrants from Africa, Mexico, Bosnia, etc…. We have helped wealthy people and poor people. We have helped people whose loved ones’ hearts will never beat again to people with sore backs. All of them have needed assistance and we are lucky enough to be able to provide it. Our staff has grown and includes the most capable, efficient and friendly people we could have. We are proud of what we do for the individuals and families that come to us.Without a doubt, I know we can help you—by pointing you in the right direction or even by sending you to another lawyer. Our mission is to make sure you get Justice. Whatever that means in your case, our goal is to help you find it.Our office was opened with one primary purpose--try jury trials for those who need it against insurance companies.

Chris handled my traffic violation and did an excellent job. He was extremely professional and thorough. We were in communication with each other until the matter was 100% closed. He was very responsive to both my emails and calls with any questions I had about the progress of our case. I would recommend Chris to anyone.

Chris Finney is an excellent attorney and I could not be happier with the services he provided. When I received a speeding ticket I contacted Chris for help. Staying in contact with Chris was not a problem in the slightest and he was very good about contacting me and keeping me informed. I will not hesitate to use Chris again and to recommended him to anyone.

Our experience with the Finney Law (Chris Finney) office has been a pleasant one. Chris has been more than accommodating and very approachable. Our situation is a unique circumstance and the way Chris is handling it warrants our confidence in him. We would recommend anyone to use Finney Law Office!

I was referred to Chris from my family lawyer and it was an excellent experience. Chris was always keeping in touch with personal phone calls and emails. He posed all possible outcomes and possibilities of the case and advised what was the best outcome for my personal situation. He also explained everything thoroughly so I would have a working understanding of the case. He shows genuine concern and interest in his clients which made me more at ease with the process. As a first time experience with a lawyer this was by far as best as I could imagine. Also the whole process was less than a month (not typical)!

We just recently ended our case with Chris Finney and this was our first experience with this situation. There was never a moment I didn't feel Chris was fighting for us. My fiance and I work full time but anytime I needed so.etching I could email him and get a response usually within an hour or two. Amazing experience considering why we needed him.

I recently used Chris Finney at Finney Law Office to represent me as my attorney, from an accident that occured in Jan 2013. I must say, I was really impressed with the level of professionalism, Chris and his staff showed me. The turn around time for responses never exceeded 24 hours. He followed up throughout the process to keep me updated on the case, and to check on my well being. He wasnt out for the money, but more concerned about my health, and any concerns I may have had. He remained friendly and patient from the betginning to the end, I was more then satisfied with the ending result, and I highly reccomend this law firm. Chris Finney and the staff at Finney Law Office ROCKS!

I was pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence. I called Chris and he guided me step by step through the process and very clearly explained to me what I should do. I ended up being released, and there was no DUI charge. Chris is very trustworthy, and I know that I can always count on him. He definitely cares about his clients. I will not hesitate to use Chris again if I am in a similar situation.
