WHO ARE WE?
Stephen D. Finch was born in Sherman, Texas in 1958. He is a 1976 graduate of Spring High School in Spring, Texas and a 1980 graduate of Austin College in Sherman, Texas where he earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree, majoring in political science and history. After completing his legal education at St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio where he earned the degree of Juris Doctor in 1983 and receiving his license from the Supreme Court of Texas to practice law later that same year, Stephen made the decision to forego the traditional path of young attorneys as an associate in a large law firm and determined that he would immediately open his own practice. He sought out a community which was well located, which provided a good environment for success and, most importantly, which promised a good quality of life. Having identified the City of Seguin as a likely choice, he opened his practice on January 2, 1984 at the 105 West Donegan Street location which his firm continues to occupy to this day.
Stephen is a two time past member of the Board of Directors of the Mid Texas Symphony, an Elder in the Presbyterian Church, the Past President of the Rotary Club of Seguin and a member of the Board of Directors of that Club and its Associated Seguin Rotary Foundation, the Compliance Officer for the Rotary District 5840 Youth Exchange Committee, a member of the Board of Directors and President of the Seguin Outdoor Learning Center, a member of the Guadalupe County Bar Association, a Director and Officer of the Treasure Island Homes Association, a Director of the Pecan Museum, a past panelist at seminars on legal ethics, and a contributor to and volunteer for numerous civic and charitable organizations. In his off time Stephen enjoys spending time with his family, woodworking and all forms of outdoor activities.
Lynda Rabe was born in Gonzales, Texas and has lived in Seguin and surrounding areas all of her life. A graduate of Nixon High School, she began her legal career in 1972 as a legal secretary and, like Stephen, developed an affinity for Real Estate work during her many years of legal experience. Lynda became associated with the Law Office of Stephen D. Finch in 1999 where she has since continued to work closely with Clients, Realtors, Lenders and Title Companies in the documentation and closing of real estate transaction in addition to other legal matters.
In her spare time, Lynda enjoys her family and her three cats, reading and day trips to "just get out and see the sights."
Tim Ramirez was born in Temple, Texas but has spent virtually his entire life as a resident of Seguin. Tim is a 1998 graduate of Seguin High School. He contributes greatly to our success through the efficient discharge of administrative duties. He draws on prior experience in residential and commercial construction, electrical distribution services and maintenance and wall board manufacturing.
When not working, Tim enjoys time with his wife and two sons, working in his yard and around his house, watching and participating in all manner of sports, and is an active member of his Church.
