Founder | Managing Attorney
Finn Law Group is a national consumer protection law firm headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida. Founded by timeshare attorney Michael D. Finn, the firm focuses exclusively on helping timeshare owners understand their rights, evaluate their options, and pursue legal remedies when needed. For more than a decade, Finn Law Group has built its reputation on one consistent principle: licensed attorneys, not sales representatives, should be the ones guiding consumers through the complexities of timeshare law.
Who We Are
Finn Law Group was established to fill a critical gap in consumer protection. As timeshare contracts became longer, more complex, and more difficult to exit, a growing number of unlicensed “exit companies” emerged to fill the void, often collecting large upfront fees and delivering little in return. Michael D. Finn recognized the harm these companies were causing to consumers and built a firm capable of providing genuine legal representation rather than unregulated promises.
Today, the firm is led by managing timeshare attorney J. Andrew Meyer, a University of Florida Law School graduate admitted to practice in both Florida and New Jersey, as well as multiple federal circuits, including the Third, Fourth, Ninth, Eleventh, and D.C. Circuits. That breadth of federal court access is not common and reflects the firm’s capacity to handle complex, multi-jurisdictional timeshare matters.
Why Timeshare Owners Come to Finn Law Group
Most clients arrive at Finn Law Group after experiencing one of a few common situations: rising maintenance fees they can no longer afford, a timeshare they inherited and never wanted, misleading sales tactics during the original purchase, or a failed attempt to exit through a third-party company. These situations share a common thread: the consumer needs real legal help, not another sales pitch.
What separates Finn Law Group from exit companies is the nature of the relationship itself. An attorney-client relationship carries legal and ethical obligations that no timeshare exit company can replicate. The firm’s approach to timeshare cancellation law is grounded in statute, contract analysis, and when necessary, active litigation.
A Record of Litigation and Negotiated Resolutions
Finn Law Group does not simply negotiate. The firm has represented timeshare owners in disputes involving one of the largest developers in the industry and has successfully negotiated and resolved matters in Florida on behalf of clients located throughout the United States. These matters have involved complex legal and contractual issues requiring detailed case preparation, strategic advocacy, and a willingness to pursue formal legal action when necessary. For consumers evaluating their options, a law firm’s experience handling both negotiated resolutions and litigation-related matters can be an important factor when seeking qualified legal representation.
Federal Court Admissions Across Multiple Circuits
Andrew Meyer is admitted to practice in the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Florida, the District of Colorado, and the United States Courts of Appeals for the Third, Fourth, Ninth, Eleventh, and D.C. Circuits. This level of admission is relevant for timeshare owners whose disputes involve developers headquartered in other states or situations where federal claims may apply. A full overview of the firm’s credentials is available on the attorney credentials page.

Consumer Protection at the Core of Everything We Do
The firm’s commitment to consumer protection extends well beyond individual client representation. Finn Law Group actively pursues timeshare-related fraud and has taken legal action against resale companies, exit companies, and other unlicensed businesses that exploit owners in vulnerable financial positions. The litigation division, led by J. Andrew Meyer, has handled numerous individual and multi-plaintiff timeshare lawsuits, including class action matters.
This distinction between law firm representation and unlicensed exit services is one the firm discusses openly with prospective clients. For a more detailed explanation of that difference, the page on why hire a law firm instead of an exit company covers the key considerations consumers should understand before making a decision.
Nationally Recognized for Timeshare Consumer Advocacy
Finn Law Group’s work has attracted coverage from some of the most trusted news organizations in the country. The firm has been featured in the New York Times, AARP, Kiplinger’s, the Orlando Sentinel, and on WFLA News. Most recently, the firm’s insights on what is often referred to as the “Salesman’s License to Lie” clause in timeshare contracts were highlighted on HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, bringing national attention to a contractual provision that affects millions of timeshare owners.
This media presence reflects the firm’s role not just as legal counsel for individual clients, but as a consistent, credible voice on consumer timeshare issues nationally.
Community Involvement and Legal Community Participation
Finn Law Group participates actively in the legal community through organizations including the St. Petersburg Bar and the regional community law program. Members of the firm’s staff volunteer time and expertise to various Bar initiatives throughout the year. J. Andrew Meyer has served as Past Chair of the Florida Bar Unlicensed Practice of Law Committee for the Sixth Judicial Circuit, a role directly relevant to the firm’s consumer protection mission.
Client reviews of the firm are available on Google, AVVO.com, Martindale-Hubbell, Lawyer.com, and the Better Business Bureau, providing prospective clients with a transparent picture of the firm’s long track record and client relationships.
What to Expect When You Contact Finn Law Group
The starting point for every potential client is a free consultation. During that conversation, an attorney reviews the specifics of your situation, including your contract, the circumstances of your original purchase, and what options may be available. No guarantees are made, because outcomes in timeshare law depend on a range of individual factors. What the firm offers is an honest assessment from a licensed attorney who has handled these cases for years.
Clients who have questions about the process before scheduling can also review common topics through the timeshare attorney FAQs page, which covers many of the questions prospective clients ask most frequently.
