"Ted Finn represented me in my divorce matter and was an amazing attorney. My wife and I were no longer able to communicate effectively and he was the perfect bridge between us and helped us get our case settled without going to Court. I recommend him to everyone needing this kind of help."

My experience with Ted was nothing but positive, despite being an incredibly difficult situation otherwise. I appreciated all the knowledgeable support he and his team provided and would recommend him to anyone needing a legal advocate.

When I visited with Ted about my child support case, it was apparent from the beginning that he was very knowledgeable about this subject. I had a million questions, and he was very compassionate and took the time to explain everything to me in detail. I would highly recommend Ted to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Ted Finn’s knowledge, professionalism and compassion made an extremely long and arduous case as manageable as it could be. His communication was always prompt and he most certainly had both mine and my daughters best interest and safety as top priority. I dealt with several members of the firms staff and everyone was always kind and professional. I would recommend Ted and this firm to anyone and will not hesitate to use them again with any legal issue.

Ted has gone above and beyond to help me and my family not only in my divorce but also in the events that continue to need the support of a lawyer as my child gets older. He's professional and timely. I feel a sense of security knowing I have Ted on my team.

Not only is Ted Finn an excellent attorney, he has become a trusted friend since he first helped with our daughter's divorce 4 years ago. I have contacted Ted several times over the years with different legal matters. Most recently he helped us obtain the correct passport application forms for our granddaughter. Ted always responds immediately to my e-mails. He is professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Ted Finn is a man of integrity and action and I highly recommend him.

8uTed not only has significant professional knowledge and skill, he creates an environment of calm, clarity and common sense to situations that felt overwhelming, irrational and out of control. He was always available, (except when he was in court), responded quickly and took the time to develop and execute the appropriate actions required to keep the process moving in the right direction. I'm not sure I would have persevered the past 8 months without his unique personal and professional skills.

Ted & Shellie are very personable.They made a very difficult period in my life bearable.Helistened to what I wanted and needed.The best interest of my daughter was foremost for him so I knew the advice given was what was going to work for us over the next few years. He always tried to resolve issues between my ex-husband and I in the least expensive yet best for my daughter manner. I have dealt with attorneys before who were obviously in it for the paycheck at this law firm that isn't the case!

Ted demonstrated knowledge, intuitive understanding, concise communication, clear game planning, flexibility, and integrity. I appreciated, not only his skill, and demeanor, but also his efficiency and ethics. Ted has a keen ability to size up the situation and go for the legal kill, but simultaneously is ever guided by an awareness of the potential long-term effects of his and his clients actions on family dynamics, on the well-being of all parties, and on the size of his invoice.

Ted was a straight shooter in my divorce. He always gave me enough information to make a good decision. He took into account costs. I always felt like he was on my side and looking out for my best interests. I will recommend Ted for any future legal issues.
