I Hope We Never Meet: Client Stories of Tragedy, Recovery, and Accountability from a Life in Deterrence Law

For attorney Andrew Finkelstein, every day is an opportunity to fight for redemption. He battles on behalf of his clients—families facing the devastating aftermath of preventable catastrophes.

When a loved one is killed on the job, Andrew helps the family pick up the pieces; when a construction worker is paralyzed due to inadequate fall protection, he helps them regain control, focus on recovery, and discover optimism in the darkest of times.

In I Hope We Never Meet, Andrew Finkelstein, with Sarah Lunham, tells his clients’ stories of tragedy and recovery, demonstrating how families have rebuilt their lives by holding offenders accountable. He discusses what personal recovery looks like and the journey of ensuring that justice is visited upon negligent actors. I Hope We Never Meet is an inspirational resource for anyone searching for ways to turn their pain into purpose and make the world a better, safer place.
