Finegan, Rinker & Ghrist

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rob Finegan for the second time on a real estate transaction in Bloomington, Illinois, and once again, he exceeded my expectations. Rob is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and detail-oriented. He guided me through every step of the process, clearly explained all documents and settlement details, and proactively addressed questions before they could become issues. His experience and calm, practical approach made what could have been a stressful transaction feel smooth and well-managed. I truly appreciate his professionalism, transparency, and commitment to looking out for his client’s best interests. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone needing real estate legal representation in the Bloomington area and would not hesitate to work with him again in the future.

We hired Adam Ghrist to represent us for a situation involving my husband selling out of his portion of a family farm. Adam is experienced, extremely knowledgeable, kind, detailed and supportive of his clients. Adam works very hard to secure the best outcome for his clients. We, unfortunately, ran into some challenges with another family partner during this journey, but Adam worked closely with us, and he was always there to guide and direct us to ensure we were making decisions in our best interest. We had to be in constant communication with Adam toward the end of our situation, and he was always available and there for us. Adam’s extensive knowledge of the law, in many areas, is impeccable. The quality that impressed us most, was Adam’s faith in God. We knew from the moment we first met with Adam, there was something special. We told Adam we were people of strong faith, and he is as well. Adam is an honest human being, and he will always do what is right and in your best interest. It was such a comfort and blessing having Adam Ghrist as our attorney and representative. He worked hard to ensure our interests were protected, and our situation was resolved in the best way possible, and we were very happy and at peace with the outcome. If not for God and Adam’s representation, things would not have turned out well in our situation. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable, hard working attorney, who will always give 110% on your case, look no further. Set up a consultation with Adam Ghrist, and retain his services. It will be the best decision you could make, and you will be happy you hired him to represent you. Thank you, Adam, for all you did for us, and for your unending support and stellar representation through a very difficult situation. God bless you!

Hired Phil Finegan and he told me he was going to do a bunch of things in accordance to my case and I let him know from the beginning I wanted to counter sue for the false charges. Didn't really do anything on my case til the last week and then when we got to court they threw it out but, he didn't advise me if I took that deal, Bloomington would put different charges on me for trying to get my gun back and suing for lost wages and the $10,000 I'll be paying on a high interest loan for the next 4 years!! I had to school him on how courts go by facts. Im not insinuating anything but, I believe they are all in cahoots for money grabs, just scratching each other's backs all the way to the bank while hard working people like myself get screwed over.

Bottom of the barrel. The lack of communication was worse than normal for lawyers, but rinker set all the final dates for my case then withdrew in the very same hearing, right after I agreed to everything. Even before the motion was officially granted he ceased representing me, but did offer not to bill me for the time he spent on the withdrawal if I didn't object. Watch out

I can’t thank Adam enough for all of his great work and dedication with my court case. I was a father seeking equal parenting time with my daughter after a nasty divorce. Adam went to bat for me and navigated me through the process which ended with the ex wife finally agreeing to equal parenting time with our daughter right before trial was going to be set 🙏🙏🙌. Adam informed me of the things that could come along with me filing and what his thoughts were about my case. Adam makes sure you understand the legal terminology, makes sure you understand what you are agreeing or not agreeing to and is prompt in answering your questions/concerns that come up. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone going through what I did. My only regret was not hiring him sooner, he really has you/your child’s best interest at heart-hands down. Thank you again Adam for your incredible work, time and effort that you have put into my case so that my daughter could have equal time with both her mom and dad now. 🙏🙏.

Hello! Josh Rinker was an exceptional advocate for our son. He kept us well informed throughout the process. The fact that he was compassionate for our situation, but was also forthright on realistic expectation. He never sugar coated anything. In our opinion, his compassion and his honesty are two traits we would look for in a lawyer. Josh responded to our questions and concerns in an extremely timely manner and we never felt rushed when we spoke with him. We know Josh worked hard for our situation and we truly believe he got us the best outcome for our son. We highly recommend Josh if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation.

I was very impressed with the professionalism I received. All the questions I had were answered and I was given great advice on how to proceed further.

Mr. Rinker was my attorney for a legal matter with McLean County. He is an excellent attorney - in particular, his communication and advice is comprehensive, clear, and objective. I always had clarity on the status of my case and it was resolved with the best possible outcome I could have asked for. Very grateful for his representation and could not recommend more. Thank you!

I had some legal issues which needed immediate attention and Adam Ghrist reached out to me and was very helpful with getting me in the right direction for my parents. Thank you Adam Ghrist.

Great lawyers. Josh Rinker is compassionate, caring and professional. Could not ask for better representation. Highly recommended.

Hiring Adam Ghrist as my attorney was an incredible experience. I couldn't recommend a more empathetic attorney that gave attention to the case but the person as well. If you need legal guidance, I would recommend Adam.

Better late than never. I apologize for missing to express my thanks to Finegan, for helping me get my court case dismissed. It's been 2 years and I missed to write a review as I was out of the country for sometime. However, I keep reminding myself how grateful I'm for the service I've got and been thinking to write my thanks here. Thank you very much for your guidance and support. Thanks for gifting me peace. :)

Advertise on their website a free consultation, but was told on the phone that this is only for criminal and bankruptcy cases. For family law, there is a $300 consultation fee. 2 stars for false advertising, but at least they answered the phone.

Handled a real estate deal for my Mothers mobile home Very disappointing!!! Deal finished on Friday and here it is Tuesday and still don’t have overnighted check etc Took my money but did not finish the deal I would never use this attorney!!! If you are smart you’ll search for a better attorney!

got my boy right @aidencarr

Had a great experience with Rob. Never actually met him directly ... we corresponded through email and text as he helped me with a remote long-distance property sale. Rob offered, and was available, to answer all my questions through the process. Communications with him were friendly and always prompt and informative. I would be happy to work with him again should the need arise - and would gladly recommend him to others.

I'm so grateful that I found and sought the help of Finegan, Rinker & Ghrist. I worked with Josh, who helped me navigate handling a traffic ticket. Upon initially calling the firm, I was able to speak with him right away. He was quick to help me evaluate the situation, outline next steps, and explain / clarify parts of the traffic court process that were unfamiliar to me. He was also timely in responding to my emails, patiently answering all the questions I had. He proactively kept me updated every step of the way. Best of all, the ticket was ultimately resolved in a favorable way. 5/5 Recommend!

Phil helped me with a traffic case, and he was absolutely fantastic. He handled everything with great professionalism and care, making the entire process much less stressful for me. Phil was always clear, responsive, and thorough in explaining my options and next steps. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my case was resolved with the best possible outcome. I’m truly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy lawyer.

Josh Rinker gave me the best legal services that you can ask for. He is professional, well mannered, knowledgeable about the law and will fight for what is right. If you are looking for or in need of a law firm. I highly recommend Josh Rinker and the Finegan, Rinker & Christ law firm. You will not be disappointed!

After an unexpected turn of events when buying a home and selling our home, we called Adam Ghrist to help us navigate a lot of legal uncertainty. Right away, Adam helped us understand the legal process in a way that made sense to us and he continually answered the slew of questions we had while advocating on our behalf. I truly believe had Adam not gotten involved, we would have been in a really tough spot for an extended time. Couldn't be more pleased with the wise and measured approach from Adam and the team at Finegan, Rinker & Ghrist. Highly recommend!
