With the ideology of “protecting victims’ rights,” Mr. Finz has fought hard and achieved record results for personal injury victims for over 30 years. As a staunch advocate for the seriously injured, he is dedicated to promoting public health and safety through the courts. To accomplish that continuing objective, Mr. Finz is proud to have assembled at Finz & Finz, P.C., a high-level team of extraordinarily bright, passionate and aggressive attorneys, paralegals, nurses and support staff.

When Mr. Finz is not litigating on behalf of his clients, he enjoys boating, jet skiing, motorcycles and exotic sports-cars. His fondest moments, however, are derived from spending time with his wife, children and granddaughters.
