Litigation Attorney-Steven C. Finley
After heading the litigation department of a large law firm with offices in San Francisco and San Jose, I decided to start my own smaller firm so that I could deliver a more personalized service to clients from beginning
to end at a lower cost. My approach to business litigation, which is essentially a dispute about money or property, is both practical and determined. I always try to keep the end in sight and keep the client fully informed. Once committed to a course of action, I do not give up. If the adversary is a large corporation or a large law firm, this only makes the case more interesting and challenging. I have successfully represented individuals and corporations against mega-corporations such as Sony and a foreign government. I have also represented clients in simple contract disputes.
I am admitted to practice in all California state courts, all of the federal district courts in California, as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. I am a limited partner in the firm of Hennefer, Finley & Wood, LLP.
I am committed to providing zealous and responsible representation to my clients at competitive rates.
I received my Bachelor of Law. I then studied
at McGill University in Canada receiving a
Masters of Law in international business
and anti-trust law. I was admitted to
practice in California in 1977 and in New
York in 1982, and have been zealously
representing and advocating on behalf of clients in the San Francisco Bay Area for the past 30 years. I have also taught various courses of law at Sydney University Law School and Hastings College of Advocacy and acted as a judge pro-tem in California Superior Court.
