Missouri & Illinois Personal Injury
At Finney Injury Law, we don't settle for less — in courtrooms or in relationships. Every case is prepared for trial. Every client is treated like a person, not a case number.
2025 Award
Thomas G. Strong Award — Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys
We prepare every case as if it's going to trial — because that's how we get our clients the results they deserve.
Chris Finney — Founding Attorney
Trial-Readiness — Every case, every time
Known by Name, Not Case Number
Boutique service. Powerhouse results.
The FIL Difference
Most firms settle early. We build every case as if a jury will decide it — because that preparation is exactly what forces better outcomes, whether or not we ever step into a courtroom.
Trial-by-Human Methodology
We tell your story to real people — not algorithms. Jury preparation starts on day one of representation.
Focused Caseload
We intentionally limit the number of cases we take. You'll always have direct access to your attorney.
Lead With Heart
Aggressive in the courtroom. Genuine with every client. We fight hard because we care about what happens to you.
$10M
Jury award — personal injury trial
When the insurance company made what they thought was a reasonable offer, our client said no. We supported that decision and took it to trial. The jury's verdict was four times the original offer. That's what trial-readiness means.
Practice Areas
Car & Motor Vehicle Accidents
Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, distracted drivers. We know how insurance companies fight these claims — and how to beat them.
Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Multiple liable parties. Federal regulations. Serious injuries. Trucking cases demand attorneys who know the industry and aren't afraid of the fight.
Premises Liability & Slip and Fall
Property owners have a duty to keep their spaces safe. When they don't, and you're hurt, we hold them accountable.
Daycare & Child Injury (PLO)
Children deserve to be safe in care. Our Protect Little Ones initiative is dedicated to families affected by daycare negligence.
Traumatic Brain Injury
TBIs are often invisible and always life-changing. We build comprehensive cases that account for the full, long-term cost of your injury.
Wrongful Death
When negligence takes someone you love, no settlement can undo the loss. But justice matters — and we fight relentlessly to find it for your family.
Meet the Team
When you call Finney Injury Law, you reach your attorney — not a case manager. Chris and Alex handle your case personally, start to finish.
Chris Finney
Founding Attorney
Chris founded Finney Injury Law on a simple belief: every client deserves the kind of focused, trial-ready representation that was once reserved for the few. The 2025 Thomas G. Strong Award recipient, Chris is known for his ethics, character, and courtroom results.
Alex Ledbetter
Trial Attorney
Alex brings a meticulous approach to case preparation and a genuine commitment to every client's outcome. Known for clear communication and relentless advocacy, Alex is the kind of attorney clients trust with their most difficult moments.
Our Approach
Insurance companies know which firms will settle and which will fight. Being known as trial attorneys isn't just our identity — it's a strategy that gets better results for our clients at every stage.
Every case is trial-ready from day one
We gather evidence, build timelines, and prepare witnesses as if a jury will decide your case — because preparation is what creates leverage.
Focused caseload means focused attention
We intentionally limit how many cases we take so every client receives genuine, direct attention from the attorneys handling their case.
We support your decision — always
Whether you want to settle or see it through to a verdict, we give you honest counsel and stand behind whatever you decide.
No fee unless we win
Our contingency fee structure means there is zero financial risk to you in seeking justice. We win when you win.
Client Stories
Real words from people we've had the privilege of representing.
"Chris and his team treated me like family from the very first call. They explained everything clearly, never made me feel rushed, and fought like hell when it mattered. I never felt like just a case number."
Personal Injury — Trial Verdict
"Alex took the time to understand what our family was going through. He was honest about everything — the timeline, the challenges, the risks — and he was right there with us at every step. We couldn't have asked for better."
Motor Vehicle Accident
"I was referred to Finney Injury Law by another attorney. Now I know why they send people here. Chris doesn't just prepare for trial — he actually goes. That changes everything about how insurance companies respond."
