TESTIMONIALS

“I have had Dabney Finch handle a number of appeals for me and continue to do so. She has great appellate experience, writes crisply, simply and succinctly and provides sound advocacy, tempered by her good judgment in understanding the expectations of appellate justices. “In a class action case I tried to a successful jury verdict, Stuppy v. World Gym, Ms. Finch handled the opposition to World Gym’s appeal. World Gym was represented by the firm that wrote the leading appellate practice guide in California. In affirming the judgment, the court of appeal complimented the quality of the briefing in its opinion. And truth be told, Ms. Finch’s brief was the one that looked like it was written by the leading appellate firm.” Mitchell S. Wagner, Esq. Law Office of Mitchell S. Wagner

“My clients prevailed at trial in a usury case. The defendant appealed the judgment and the award of attorney fees to my clients. I asked Dabney to represent my clients in the appeal, as I have no experience in appellate practice. Dabney charged a reasonable fee, expeditiously handled the respondent side of the appeal with the judgment being affirmed in its entirety. Dabney worked well with my clients. My clients and myself, as the referring attorney, were happy with Dabney’s work!” Alec Harshey, Attorney at Law Hemet, California

“As we go thru this process, for the first and hopefully the last time, we have an appreciation for lawyers that did not exist before. This whole legal process has opened my eyes to the efforts it takes to win a case. Until you need an attorney, you really don't understand the intensity of their job. “Then, when you become their client, you either see their integrity, commitment, and personal investment, or you don't. And lucky for Matt and me, we have seen those qualities in you.“Again, a big sincere thank you for your expertise, knowledge, experience, efforts and commitment to a positive outcome on our case.” Karen Cannan Client on Appeal, December 2010

“Dabney Finch represented me in the appellate court approximately five years ago. This was an extremely difficult time as the lawsuit was a result of my husband’s death. After a horrible experience with another attorney my trust and confidence was completely shattered. Finding Dabney at a time when I was about to give up was an absolute miracle. The entire experience with her was 100% positive from the initial phone call to the final victory. Dabney was at all times highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, completely involved and most of all truly compassionate. It was the next best thing to having a lawyer in the family. Dabney was always accessible and very patient with my questions. I could see that she believed in my case and fought hard because of her desire for justice, which was clearly at the heart of her work. I enthusiastically recommend Dabney Finch.” Charlene Tackaberry, Client on Appeal, December 2006
