About Daniel

I am the founding partner of the Finney Law Office. I am dedicated to protecting our clients by fighting for justice and financial compensation. At Finney Law Office, we believe in handling cases from start to finish because we believe that our clients deserve compassionate, aggressive representation.

I graduated from St. Louis University Law School in 1978. After graduation, I worked as an Assistant Circuit Attorney in the City of St. Louis prosecuting felonies. During my tenure there, I tried to completion and won more jury trials than any other attorney on staff. I decided to enter private practice in 1981.

I specialize in serious litigation matters, particularly complex personal injury claims. I have over thirty years of experience as a litigator, having completed over 100 jury trials. I have obtained multimillion dollar verdicts or settlements in claims arising from truck accidents, medical negligence, product defects, fraud, auto accidents, accidental shooting, and inverse condemnation.

The results of some of my trials have attracted national media attention, and with respect to protective firefighting equipment, have changed the way defective products are tracked and have resulted in product recalls. I collaborate with out of state attorneys to pursue claims in other jurisdictions. I have also been named a top 100 trial lawyer by the American Trial Lawyers Association. I have appeared on radio as an expert commentator on the topics of legal and medical malpractice and am a lifetime member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

I am a member of the Missouri Bar Association, the St. Louis Bar Association, the American Association of Justice, the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys, the Lawyers Association, and the Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America.

If you or someone you love have been injured, call us for a free consultation. We can help discuss your case and explain your legal options. We are dedicated to fighting for the justice of our clients and getting them the financial compensation that they and their families deserve.
