Daniel C. Finbury is an attorney comfortable both with counseling clients in the office and trying cases in court. His work commonly involves representing clients in matters including personal injury, workers’ compensation, social security as well as marital difficulties and criminal problems. Prior to finding himself standing before a judge or jury or a Massachusetts or New Hampshire administrative tribunal generally requires many hours of office discussion, document review and investigation. Though he works to avoid the risks and stresses of trial on his clients he is not afraid of taking the case to judgment or verdict.
Dan attended the Haverhill, Massachusetts public school systems and finished high school at Middlesex School in Concord, MA. He graduated from Middlebury College in Middlebury, VT after a short period of study in London and Paris. After working as a paralegal in New York City for several years he went on to graduate work at Boston University Law School where he graduated in 1981. He took and passed the Massachusetts Bar in that same year and worked as a pro bono criminal attorney in Essex County. In 1982 he went to Dallas, Texas where he took and passed the Texas Bar and worked for several trial attorneys over the next two years. In 1984 he returned to his father’s law firm and has been practicing there every since. In 1986 he took and passed the New Hampshire Bar, and was also admitted to practice before the Federal District Courts in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He has argued several cases before the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
