Biography Submit listing

Christopher J. Finney received his law degree from St. Louis University. Upon graduation, he accepted a position as an assistant circuit attorney in the Circuit Attorney’s Office in the city of St. Louis. While at the Circuit Attorney’s, Chris handled a variety of issues, including Grand Jury indictments, felony gun and drug crimes. After the CAO’s, Chris then accepted a job at a large insurance defense firm where he handled cases ranging from dog bites to premises liability to auto collisions to wrongful death. He gained an insight into how an insurance company and defense team analyze and handle claims and litigation. In 2012, he joined his father and his brother. In 2018, Chris opened his solo trial practice, Finney Injury Law to try injury claims of all types, including trucking crashes, auto collisions, wrongful death, catastrophic injury and premises liability. Prior to law school, Chris was a teacher and football coach at Regis High School in Denver. He returned to St. Louis and continued coaching football at St. Louis University High School until he began working at the Circuit Attorney’s Office. As a former football player and coach, Chris takes a special interest in head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries. While in law school, Chris was awarded the David J. Hensler academic award for excellence in trial advocacy. In private practice, he was selected as a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum at the age of 30, an invitation-only group in which less than 1 percent of attorneys are members nationwide. Chris was also selected as a Rising Star by SuperLawyers, an honor that is limited to 2.5% of all practicing attorneys in Missouri. “I enjoy sticking up for the person who has their back against the wall. In our business, we can level the playing fields of individuals and big corporations. I take a lot of satisfaction in the fact that our firm can make an enormous impact on someone’s life, even after that per
