About Jacquelin Leigh
Jacquelin Leigh Finz earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Arizona before returning to New York to earn her J.D. at Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center.

Over the years she has maintained ties to several professional organizations, holding current memberships in the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, the Queens County Bar Association and the Nassau County Bar Association. Her involvement in these groups keeps her connected to shifts in state law and developments in trial practice.
Her work has been centered at Finz & Finz, P.C., where she has handled matters on behalf of individual clients and businesses. She has experience preparing pleadings, managing discovery, and appearing in New York state courts. Colleagues describe her approach as straightforward and practical; she favors clear explanations for clients over legal jargon. In the courtroom she focuses on the procedural steps that shape outcomes, from pretrial motions to trial scheduling.
Clients who come to her firm find a lawyer who attends to case details. She spends time reviewing records and building files so that each matter is organized for motions and hearings. That organization often proves useful when opposing parties raise technical objections or when deadlines loom. Her courtroom work reflects that preparation.
Outside of litigation, she contributes to the local bar community through association activities and membership. Those ties give her access to continuing education and peer networks across Queens and Nassau counties. She uses those resources to stay current on local rules and emerging case law.
Today she continues to practice at Finz & Finz, P.C., handling matters in New York and representing clients in state courts. She practices at Finz & Finz, P.C., representing clients in New York state courts.
