About Christopher J
Christopher J Finney earned his Juris Doctor from Saint Louis University School of Law in 2010. He completed his legal studies in St. Louis and moved quickly into courtroom work after graduation. The early years of his career were shaped by trial-level practice and hands-on litigation experience.
He began in public service as a felony trial lawyer in 2010 at the St. Louis Circuit Lawyer's Office. In 2012 he joined Danna McKittrick, P.C. as an associate, and that same year he opened Finney Law Office to pursue trial work under his own name. By 2017 he was practicing as a trial lawyer at Finney Injury Law. Those positions reflect a steady path from public defense and prosecution-adjacent felony work into private civil litigation and trial advocacy.
Finney maintains memberships in a range of professional organizations. He belongs to the American Bar Association and the American Association for Justice. Locally, he is active in the Lawyers Association of St. Louis and the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, where his membership dates back to 2014. He has also been listed as a member of both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. From 2021 to 2022 he served on the Board of Governors of the Missouri Association of Trial Lawyers.
His courtroom experience spans criminal felony trials early in his career and later civil trials in personal injury matters. Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who spends considerable time preparing witnesses and evidence for trial. He has handled jury trials and bench trials, and he routinely works on case development, depositions, and motions practice. He is licensed to practice in Missouri and conducts litigation in state courts across the region.
Today he practices at Finney Injury Law. The firm name reflects the area of cases he commonly brings to trial. He represents clients in personal injury matters and continues to pursue litigation and trial work in Missouri courts.
