Christopher M. Finke, Esq.
About
I was born and raised in the heart of Baltimore City when I decided to pursue a career in law and attended the University of Baltimore School of Law. Prior to my graduation in 2017, I worked in judges chambers in both the Maryland Supreme Court and the United States District Court, as well in a pair of Maryland’s most respected firms.
Attorney's get a bad rap for a variety of reasons; some deserved, some not. We are particularly good at putting barriers up or tearing things down. Many of the businesses I work alongside, however, are good at building things. After becoming an attorney, I worked to defend professionals and help protect businesses and business people from the risks they face everyday.
And that's the type of attorney I try to be: one who protects the things that the people I represent have built. Whether it’s your reputation or your pocketbook, I dedicate my practice to representing businesses and business people and helping them protect the things that they have spent so much time building.
I represent people and companies in business litigation, government investigations, fiduciary litigation, employment issues, contract negotiation, and risk management. Ask me how the General Counsel Program can help protect your business!
