I consulted with Mr. Finley over two different auto insurance matters.
His counsel settled my anxiety, and he offered strategies for the future if they were needed.
Talking with Mr. Finley was time well spent.

Michael Finley is amazing!!! We hired him for an Adult Adoption, Michael Finley did a great 👍 job. He said the process would take like 6 months. He answered all our questions, answered every call and email he explained everything step by step and he actually got it done in less then 3 months. We had court and he was present and everything was approved. Thank you for all your help. 10/10 Other attorneys told us it couldn't be done, but Michael was able to to it.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of working with Michael Finley on a legal matter regarding visitation rights and child support with my daughter. Initially, I was hopeful as he appeared attentive during our initial interview. However, once he received the retainer fee, the level of service plummeted drastically.
Communication was virtually nonexistent after the initial meeting. I found myself unable to reach him when I had questions or concerns about my case. This lack of responsiveness resulted in a missed court date, which had serious consequences for my case.
Furthermore, Michael Finley failed to advise me adequately about potential legal ramifications, such as the possibility of being held responsible for the opposing party's attorney fees. I was blindsided by unexpected fees and expenses that were not disclosed upfront.
What's most egregious is that Michael Finley violated our agreement regarding the retainer fee. We had agreed that he would notify me if the retainer was about to run out, so I could make an informed decision about continuing his services. However, I was shocked to receive a bill for $15,000, far exceeding what we had initially discussed. The agreement that he had written had been worded to favor his interest. He took advantage of my lack of legalese.
Overall, my experience with Michael Finley was extremely disappointing and frustrating. I felt misled, ignored, and taken advantage of. I would strongly advise anyone considering his services to proceed with caution and ensure that all agreements are documented in writing.
While I cannot recommend Michael Finley based on my experience, I must emphasize that my intention is not to threaten or defame him in any way. Rather, I hope that my feedback serves as a cautionary tale for others and encourages Michael Finley to reconsider his practices and prioritize the needs of his clients in the future.
Sincerely,
Christopher Wright
