About Thomas P. Finley
Thomas P. Finley Jr. built a foundation in business before turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Baylor University in 1983 and completed his Juris Doctor at Baylor Law School in 1986. Those years in Waco gave him a combination of business training and legal education that would shape his practice.
He entered private practice in the late 1980s and established his own firm in 1988. For decades he has run a solo office under the name Thomas P. Finley, Jr., Lawyer at Law. Running a small firm has meant handling a wide range of tasks — from client intake and case strategy to office management and courtroom appearances when required.
Mr. Finley has practiced in Texas throughout his career. He maintains professional ties in the state legal community and in 2024 joined the College of the State Bar of Texas. That affiliation places him among lawyers who engage with continuing legal education and professional standards at the state level.
His background in business informs how he approaches legal matters. The combination of a B.B.A. and a J.D. has lent him a practical perspective when advising clients who confront legal problems that intersect with commercial or financial concerns. Colleagues describe him as steady and detail-oriented in day-to-day case work, taking a methodical approach to preparation and client communication.
Today he continues to operate his practice under the same firm name he adopted in 1988. He serves clients across Texas from his solo office and manages the full scope of representation that a small firm typically provides. His current practice focuses on serving clients in Texas through his solo firm.
