Paul is a trusted advisor. His responsiveness is quite possibly unmatched. Our large non-profit has a variety of legal needs that often require quick, same-day attention. Not once has Paul been unable to meet our needs. He is able to quickly but thoroughly address legal issues, ensuring that we are informed and protected.. As a GC with prior private practice experience, I especially appreciate Paul's ability to make the client feel as though our issues are the only items on his plate.
Paul has helped me resolve questionable Auto and Bodily Injury claims since 1994 and has always been easily accessible, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Plus he gets results.
Mr. Finamore is a pleasure to work with and provides great information on the issues at hand in a clear method that is helpful to the situation.
Within the firm, Mr. Finamore is a member of the Management and Compensation Committees and Chair of the Diversity Committee. Outside of the firm, Mr. Finamore is actively involved in the community, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of Boys Hope Girls Hope of Baltimore.
