"John and his staff are incredibly skilled and wonderful to work with. The deck was slanted against us during this case in many ways. Yet with all of that John still had "belt and suspenders" a plan b or a means to get us through to the next part. It was a bumpy road (no fault of John or his staff) to trial but the moment it became a fair fight in front of a Jury ; John took control. Having experience on both being a prosecutor and now a Defense attorney was great while he was questioning every single witness. Johns questions and the way that he asked them allowed us to show the jury pieces of the truth during testimony. Quite a bit of backend work was done for my case and that was partially handled by John's staff. I worked with Kristy and Zoey and they are amazing and very calming in a stressful situation. John and his staff are worth their weight in gold. I would want a loved one or a friend hiring John if they were in need of his services. I hope I never need John's Services again. If I ever am in need of attorney to do the work John does, it will be John doing the work."

Madison, and Brittney were wonderful to deal with as well. Exceptional communication, and very friendly.

"It was my first encounter with law enforcement as a potential suspect and I was terrified. I reacted in the worst way possible, belligerent and cruel, without physical violence and ended up in jail, facing felony charges. After careful consideration of all of the evidence presented, my sentence was reduced to a misdemeanor and my sentence was 15 hours of Community Service within 2 months! I cannot thank Mr. Freeman and Ms. Richter enough! They are a great team and take care of each step."
