    What Our Clients Say

     testimonial-comma - Law Office of John Freeman

    "Mr. Freeman’s extraordinary knowledge of the law and ability to negotiate provided the necessary legal council for a timely resolution to my particular case. His professionalism and availability were key factors in my retaining him as my lawyer. I have complete confidence in his understanding of the legal system and I highly recommend him as an experienced defense attorney."

    Client Recommendation

    "John is one of the hardest working lawyers I know. And one of the smartest. He knows how to work with the government for a deal and how to challenge the government when necessary. I heartily recommend him to potential clients and to colleagues who need a criminal defense resource."

    Fellow Attorney, Review

    "I’ve dealt with many attorneys over the course of my lifetime, from divorce to defense and prosecution and John is BY FAR the best attorney I’ve ever dealt with! I’ve hired the big box attorneys before – the guys you see on TV – and NEVER did I get the type of personal attention I’ve received from Mr. Freeman."

    Client Recommendation

    "As an immigration attorney of thirty years experience, who does not practice criminal law, I am very particular about who I refer my clients to. In my client’s cases it is not only their freedom that is at stake, but their right to remain in the United States with their families and, sometimes even their lives (witness, Hmong freedom fighters and Iraqi Christians)."
