Finnegan graduated from DePaul University with a LL.B. degree in 1930.
He was admitted to the bar in 1931 and practiced in Chicago.
In 1939, Finnegan unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for municipal court judge.
In 1945, he was appointed an assistant state's attorney for Cook County, and served until 1956.
He served as an assistant city corporation counsel from 1956 to 1957.
In 1960, Finnegan was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Illinois' 12th district.
