About Philip M. Finestrauss, Esq.
Philip Finestrauss has practiced law in Wilmington since 1988. Before law, he was an educator — a background that still shapes how he works: he takes the time to explain where your case stands, what your options are, and what to expect next, in plain English.
When you hire the firm, you work directly with Buddy — not a case manager, not a rotating cast of associates. It's a deliberately small practice, so every case gets his full attention.

How It Works
Injury cases are handled on a contingency basis — you owe nothing unless we recover for you.
-
1
Call for a free consultation
Tell us what happened. We'll give you an honest assessment of your case — no obligation, no pressure.

We investigate and build your case
Medical records, witnesses, experts — we gather what's needed and deal with the insurance companies directly.
-

We fight for full compensation
Whether through negotiation or trial, the goal is the same: the recovery you're actually entitled to.
Don't wait. Delaware law limits how long you have to file an injury claim. The sooner you call, the more options you have.
