Personal:
Jack claims that he cannot separate his personal life from his professional life. Nonetheless, he is very successful in both areas. Jack’s family consists of Jane Fink, his wife of almost thirty years; Mary Ryan Fink, his older daughter who graduated from the University of Georgia and is now working in Atlanta, Georgia, and Ann Fink Aday, a graduate of the University of Alabama and an R.N. in Little Rock. The Finks are members of Our Lady of Holy Souls Catholic Church. George and Sam Fink, the Fink family’s black and tan miniature dachshunds, are “the only children we still have at home.”
Hobbies:
Jack’s hobbies include target shooting (“I do not go enough to be any good.”); barbequing (“I do that enough to be pretty good.”) and enjoying an occasional adult beverage (“I am world class by any standard.”)
Jack’s thoughts on the practice of law:
“First, people normally hire lawyers in stressful situations. I try hard to ease that stress by being calm, easy to talk to and accessible for my clients. My goal is to be the lawyer that a client does not dread having to call. Second, the practice of law is often adversarial in nature, particularly in litigation. A good lawyer should try to minimize the conflict when that can be done without compromising the client’s interest. Lawyers are supposed to resolve – not escalate – conflicts.”
