I met Peter through a referral and was NOT disappointed. He was clear, thorough and a complete professional from the first time we spoke.
Prior to and during arbitration, he took the time to sit down and discuss what was needed from me and what was to be expected. He welcomed all my questions and made sure to clarify any misconceptions I had... and I had a few.
After arbitration, he continued to make himself available for any further questions or concerns and made sure to reaffirm the success of my case.
Peter made a hectic process significantly easier by being as forthcoming and attentive as possible. I am a bit of a skeptic and overthinker, so to feel confident with Pete in such a trying matter is notable to mention.
While I wouldn’t want to be in another car accident or arbitration again, it would be remiss of me not to immediately contact Peter and his team.

If you want to deal with an intelligent, polished attorney who will fight tooth and nail for you, then you want this attorney. He took on a plaintiff case for me that several other attorneys would not. The settlement I received was more than I could have ever imagined. His office staff is polite, friendly and very knowledgeable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He's truly amazing!!

This was my first time in the 40 years of life needing/acquiring a lawyer for any reason needed. Although, the process was long and tiresome (appts, etc), Mr. Finelli fought long and hard to acquire to the best of his ability what was reasonable for my case.
I would definitely recommend him.
