About

If the police have spoken to you, you need to speak to me.  Former Wake County Felony Prosecutor.  Tough, dedicatated and available at 919-845-6688 for a free same day consulation.  Call me and lets talk about your case and let my 16 years of experience help you.  Let me walk with you through your criminal case. Whether its a drug charge, DWI, assault or domestic violence charge with my knowledge of the law and the relevant statutes I may be able to help you avoid a conviction or reduce your penalty and avoid supervised probation.  If your case is dismissed or you are found not guilty we may be able to expunge your record and we never charge additionally for that service.  If driving is the issue we can walk through your drivning record and in most cases I can tell you what steps need to be taken to get you back on the road. As a misdemeanor prosecutor I was assigned to oversee the domestic violence unit and misdemeanor appeals.  Upon my promotion to a felony prosecutor I tried numerous case including murder and armed robbery. I left the Wake County District Attorney's Office over 12 years ago and I have concentrated my practice to just Wake County to be able to give my clients the best possible representation. I have over 15 years of experience of handling criminal case in Wake County and chances are I have successfully dealt with a case similar to yours.Unlike many local firms I dont spread myself thin by constantly commuting to surrounding counties.  All of my time is spent in Wake County handling Wake County cases. You can also be rest assured that your case will never be handed off to an associate or less experienced attorney.  Too often the attorney you meet with is not the one who shows up in court, that never happens at Sandman Finn and Fitzhugh, you get the attorney you hired.  Personally I recently celebrated my 20 year wedding anniversary and I am the proud parent of two children.  In my spare time I have run 5 full marathons and 12 1/2 marathons and two Tough Mudders.  I have been a member of the crossift community for close to 4 years and chances are I have finised my workout before most other  attorneys have gotten out of bed. Your case is important and you need someone who will take on your case the same way they attack every day.  Call me at 919-845-6688 for a free consultation and lets take a few minutes to take about your case.

I contacted Mr Finn after I was charged with a DUI, I did not know what to expect but Mr Finn went through my case from top to bottom and was very honest and professional about the entire situation. The end result was Not Guilty. He is the Best and will fight for you all the way.

I contacted Mr. Finn after I was arrested for a DWI and didn't know what to expect. He was prompt and courteous from the moment I scheduled the initial consultation. After the initial consultation, Mr. Finn helped me with the tentative next steps (getting my license back, ADETS, community service, etc.), and once we got the video of the incident from the police, he was able to corroborate my story and formulate his case and get the charge dismissed. It is clear he really knows his stuff and has a lot of experience with the system. This was one of the most stressful things that has happened to me as an adult, and Mr. Finn put me at ease throughout the year-long ordeal (and also put up with all my questions). I hope I never have to go through anything like this again, but if I do, I'll definitely contact Mr. Finn without hesitation.

Mr. Finn handled my speeding ticket quickly and easily. With just a quick phone call with him and then his office and a reasonable fee, my ticket was reduced to improper equipment without even going to court.

Bill Finn is an exceptional lawyer. He works extremely hard to achieve your desired result. Just recently, we won a case that I thought had no shot. I would certainly recommend Bill Finn to anyone in the triangle. It was a pleasure to work with him and it was incredible to watch him win my case. He understands how to put his client in the best possible situation to achieve the desired result.

Thank you for everything you did for my case. Where my case seemed to be an "Open and Shut" guilty case, Bill listened to the circumstance and developed a plan of attack. His willingness to assist was beyond appreciated!

First and foremost my recommendation for Attorney William Finn Jr. came from a gentleman that has worked closely with Mr. Finn in the courtroom and fully aware of his knowledge of the law, interactions with the public and court system. Before I met with Finn I was informed of his character and knew that my case would be taken care of in a timely and professional manner. My initial meeting in his office consisted of case data which involved a DUI/ failure to maintain lane. Mr. Finn explained the multiple outcomes with how my case could resolve and with each outcome, the resolve and solution as to what to do next. I never felt uncomfortable about any meeting or conversation. Mr. Finn always treated me with the utmost respect. My entire case from first meeting to court resolve was a total of 14 months. My DUI charge was dismissed but my failure to maintain lane change was not. If there is ever a need for a lawyer either with me (I hope I don't though :) ) or family/ friends Mr. Finn would be my first and only option.

I recently had a lengthy, and pretty serious court case for a number of months. After being charged for a DWI, I hired William Finn as my attorney to help me through the legal process. From day one I knew he was going to be personally invested in my case. Not only was he straightforward and honest about the seriousness of my charge, but also in how he was going to help me in any way that he could. He kept me in the loop about what his plan would be so I wasn't ever guessing what would take place on the day we would be in the courtroom. I can assure you that if there ever is a need on my end again for representation, Mr.Finn will be the very first person that I contact from here on out.

Mr. Finn is an incredible attorney who demonstrates his passion for the law and how proficient he is in his job. I saw him putting the judge in his place at least 4 times in less than 2 hours. You will not go wrong to hire Mr. Finn as your attorney.
