“He told me exactly what I needed to do in order to receive the best possible outcome on my court date”
- AnonymousMr. Freeman helped me out with a speeding ticket. Although this was a less serious crime compared to other cases he receives, he still treated my case as if it was just as important. He told me exactly what I needed to do in order to receive the best possible outcome on my court date. He has a very welcoming personality and he is loved by everyone who meets him. You can see this is true with every encounter he has with members of the court, policeman, clients, etc. Because of this, I felt that I already had an advantage with the judge, which was calming in a rather stressful situation. Because of everything Mr. Freeman told me to do & his prestigious reputation, my ticket got dismissed!

“Mr. Freeman made me feel much more relaxed about the charge and helped me a lot!”
I was charged with littering, which, to my surprise, is a misdemeanor. I was very anxious over this, and really nervous, but Mr. Freeman made me feel much more relaxed about the charge and helped me a lot! From moving my court date and guiding me through the process, to the final court date, he was attentive and reassuring. Then, the day of court, I was literally in the court room for all of one minute while he got the charges dropped. I will definitely be using him in the future should I ever need more legal help, and I definitely would recommend him to anyone! Bonus: He's also got a great sense of humor!- Brooklin -
