Alicia represented me in my (military) divorce. She is smart, tenacious and always made me feel like everything was going to be ok. She secured a fair settlement for me, and I could not be happier with her counsel. She is an excellent and staunch advocate for her clients.

I worked with Alicia Finley during my divorce, which was a very emotional time for me. Along with the typical issues that divorce brings – life disruptions, child custody and visitations, social stigma, and costs – there were some extenuating circumstances with my situation that really added to the stress of the process. Alicia was extremely good at all the legal details, and made sure that everything was handled correctly and in a timely manner. But, in addition to that, Alicia was very comforting and empathic to what I was going through. She was straight forward with me, and gave me all the information and advice that I needed, whether it was what I wanted to hear or not, but she did it in a way that really calmed my nerves and made me feel like everything would end up ok. Looking back, all the advice that she gave turned out to be 100% correct, and I’m so glad she was there for me. I cannot recommend Alicia enough.

I was going through a divorce where I had been blindsided and was totally unprepared. Ms. Finley guided me through every step of the separation agreement, negotiations and finally a completed divorce. I would not have been able to make the decisions I made without her advice and most importantly, her true understanding of how I was feeling. A divorce is the most horrific thing you can face, but Ms. Finley never let me feel alone or vulnerable. She would return my calls at anytime of the day or night, and she never let me get manipulated. Her knowledge and experience helped me come up with a way to survive financially and take care of my son. I know my best interests were always first and foremost a priority to her. I feel very lucky to have had Ms. Finley represent me and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She will not let you feel alone and she will help you prevail!

I agree with the other reviewer that has stated that Ms. Finley behaves in a very hostile manner with you. I had worked with Alicia to try to quickly resolve a child custody case as well as a divorce. I ended up using another lawyer to finish up my divorce, although he was more expensive, he resolved everything so much quicker and didn't rack up hours and not getting anywhere. Ms. Finley and her team grossly forwarded emails to me that she and her colleagues were speaking poorly (to say the least) about myself and my father. I find this just disgracing. I was going through a divorce that involved domestic violence and I was a victim of PTSD. If this is your situation I highly recommend seeking other counsel as I was retraumatized by Ms. Finley with her harsh and abrasive conversations with me.

I hired this attorney for a very hostile divorce. Her aggressive posture was helpful at first but the effectiveness was diminished from the little consideration she put into my case. She got hostile with me and hung up the phone. I paid her thousands of dollars and she continually created obstacles to make the case worse and expensive. When I finally told her I did not want her services she billed me an insane amount of hours to be released from the case. She will be aggressive to you and the other party but her client is your continued money and not your best interests.

I ended up using another lawyer to finish up my divorce, although he was more expensive, he resolved everything so much quicker and didn't rack up hours and not getting anywhere. Ms. Finley and her team grossly forwarded emails to me that she and her colleagues were speaking poorly (to say the least) about myself and my father. I find this just disgracing. I was going through a divorce that involved domestic violence and I was a victim of PTSD. If this is your situation I highly recommend seeking other counsel as I was retraumatized by Ms. Finley with her harsh and abrasive conversations with me.

I hired this attorney for a very hostile divorce. Her aggressive posture was helpful at first but the effectiveness was diminished from the little consideration she put into my case. She got hostile with me and hung up the phone. I paid her thousands of dollars and she continually created obstacles to make the case worse and expensive. When I finally told her I did not want her services she billed me an insane amount of hours to be released from the case. She will be aggressive to you and the other party but her client is your continued money and not your best interests.

Alicia represented me in my (military) divorce. She is smart, tenacious and always made me feel like everything was going to be ok. She secured a fair settlement for me, and I could not be happier with her counsel. She is an excellent and staunch advocate for her clients.

I worked with Alicia Finley during my divorce, which was a very emotional time for me. Along with the typical issues that divorce brings – life disruptions, child custody and visitations, social stigma, and costs – there were some extenuating circumstances with my situation that really added to the stress of the process. Alicia was extremely good at all the legal details, and made sure that everything was handled correctly and in a timely manner. But, in addition to that, Alicia was very comforting and empathic to what I was going through. She was straight forward with me, and gave me all the information and advice that I needed, whether it was what I wanted to hear or not, but she did it in a way that really calmed my nerves and made me feel like everything would end up ok. Looking back, all the advice that she gave turned out to be 100% correct, and I’m so glad she was there for me. I cannot recommend Alicia enough.

I was going through a divorce where I had been blindsided and was totally unprepared. Ms. Finley guided me through every step of the separation agreement, negotiations and finally a completed divorce. I would not have been able to make the decisions I made without her advice and most importantly, her true understanding of how I was feeling. A divorce is the most horrific thing you can face, but Ms. Finley never let me feel alone or vulnerable. She would return my calls at anytime of the day or night, and she never let me get manipulated. Her knowledge and experience helped me come up with a way to survive financially and take care of my son. I know my best interests were always first and foremost a priority to her. I feel very lucky to have had Ms. Finley represent me and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She will not let you feel alone and she will help you prevail!

She would return my calls at anytime of the day or night, and she never let me get manipulated. Her knowledge and experience helped me come up with a way to survive financially and take care of my son. I know my best interests were always first and foremost a priority to her. I feel very lucky to have had Ms. Finley represent me and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She will not let you feel alone and she will help you prevail!

I agree with the other reviewer that has stated that Ms. Finley behaves in a very hostile manner with you. I had worked with Alicia to try to quickly resolve a child custody case as well as a divorce. I ended up using another lawyer to finish up my divorce, although he was more expensive, he resolved everything so much quicker and didn't rack up hours and not getting anywhere. Ms. Finley and her team grossly forwarded emails to me that she and her colleagues were speaking poorly (to say the least) about myself and my father. I find this just disgracing. I was going through a divorce that involved domestic violence and I was a victim of PTSD. If this is your situation I highly recommend seeking other counsel as I was retraumatized by Ms. Finley with her harsh and abrasive conversations with me.

I hired this attorney for a very hostile divorce. Her aggressive posture was helpful at first but the effectiveness was diminished from the little consideration she put into my case. She got hostile with me and hung up the phone. I paid her thousands of dollars and she continually created obstacles to make the case worse and expensive. When I finally told her I did not want her services she billed me an insane amount of hours to be released from the case. She will be aggressive to you and the other party but her client is your continued money and not your best interests.
