Luke Finch Associate

Luke Finch is a Senior Associate at Davis Miles McGuire Gardner, PLLC in the firm’s commercial and civil litigation department, where he handles a broad range of business and civil disputes.
In Luke’s prior life, he worked in construction for 15 years, 3 of which he owned his own business remodeling homes. Deciding to go back to college at the tender age of 30, he attended ASU and earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. His broad knowledge of how to run a business and his understanding of engineering and construction helps him have a quick understanding of a client’s needs and conceptualize their business in order to gain for them the best possible outcome in a dispute.
Luke graduated from Syracuse University College of Law where he was the president of the J. Ruben Clark Law Society the Federalist Society and the Intellectual Property Law Society. Before and after graduation, he worked for several IP firms, both in New York and in Arizona. He moved his family back to Arizona (grateful to see the sun again) shortly after graduation.
After being back in Arizona for a while, Luke then decided to switch gears and went to work with a more traditional law firm, working as a hybrid Family Law and Criminal Defense attorney, where he gained not only a significant amount of trial experience, but insight into the intermingling of those two areas of law.
Luke joined Davis Miles in 2019 in the Access to Justice division where he was able to further expand his knowledge and experience in many additional areas of law, but mostly involved Family Law, Criminal Defense, Firearms, Intellectual Property and other aspects of business. He now focuses on business and civil litigation (but will do some IP work when he has the opportunity). His philosophy is to facilitate a peaceful resolution as much as possible but is an aggressive advocate for his clients when settlement is not in their best interest.
When not busy assisting clients, Luke enjoys spending time with his wonderful and hard-working wife and four awesome children (whom, along with God, deserve all the credit) both at home and in the White Mountains of Arizona, where he grew up. He also continues to do some home remodeling and other carpentry work now and then.
