Biography
Casey has been an Associate Attorney with the Finney Law Firm since 2016. Prior to joining the Finney Law Firm, she served as a law clerk for five years while completing my undergraduate and law degrees. She has represented clients in complex commercial, real estate, and tort litigation and, through that experience, discovered a genuine interest in, ironically, keeping clients (and their businesses) out of litigation. Her practice is now focused on commercial and residential real estate transactions and business formation.
In Casey’s practice, her primary objective is to help set clients up for success through quality drafting, risk assessment/management, thoughtful review, and proven negotiation strategies. She understands the impact that legal disputes can have on my clients’ lives and businesses and is committed to working alongside them to develop individualized and creative solutions to each of their legal challenges. Casey often finds that her background in real-estate and commercial litigation gives her a unique perspective from which to advise clients as to the potential implications and outcomes of their various dealings, which, in turn, allows clients to focus on their lives and businesses, while she looks out for their legal interests.
In addition to Casey’s transactional practice, she also represents real estate professionals in quasi-litigation matters before the Ohio Division of Real Estate, Cincinnati Board of Realtors, and Southern Ohio Association of Realtors and helps clients dispute their property valuation and real estate taxes with the Board of Revision and/or Board of Tax Appeals.
Casey earned her Bachelor’s Degree summa cum laude from the University of Kentucky in 2013 and her J.D. magna cum laude from the Salmon P. Chase College of Law in 2016. During law school, she served on the Editorial Board for the Northern Kentucky University Law Review and had one of her articles published. Casey now enjoys getting to know local law students by heading our firm’s summer law clerk recruitment and programming initiatives.
Outside of the office, Casey enjoys cooking, traveling, reading, hiking, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and German Shepherd, Griff. She is also learning to golf, which she says she very much enjoys but makes no representations as to her skill level.
