This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Awesome Attorney, Highly recommend!!!

I'm very pleased with Austin Freely I showed up to court Today in Quincy, Ma All cases dismissed before noon all charges including Oui 2 ,Driving on suspended liscence and negligence driving. I highly recommend Attorney Freeley for any criminal matters. He is extremely skilled at his craft of the st...udies of law. If you need an attorney that will fight for you with passion. Austin cares more about your case than being just a number. He became an Attorney to help people and cares about his clients.

I highly recommend Attorney Freeley.

My journey with Attorney Austin J. Freeley began in the month of June 2015. He was very patient with me. Never gave me false hopes or false promises. He is a very honest , hard-working and compassionate Attorney. Not all about money. He truly cares for his clients as he is a God fearing man. I've wor...ked with him for over 2 years. He has genuinely prayed with me, fought for me to his full potential with tremendous results. He was available for my legal needs above and beyond. His expertise in case-law is impeccable and quite extraordinary. I highly recommend Attorney Freeley.

Criminal Defense

While in college in Boston, I was unfortunately the victim of police racism and acquired multiple charges for a crime I did not commit. Austin was very diligent and highly professional with his methods and tactics for ensuring my future was not affected by false charges. The end result was my case be...ing DISMISSED! I highly recommend Austin, he is a solid and experienced attorney in bringing a criminal defense case to speedy resolution.

Successful criminal defense on multiple incidents.

I was in school in Boston, and I was a knucklehead. Thankfully with the help of Austin Freeley I was able to avoid serious punishment and was able to get a CWOF and return to NY and get the help I needed. Now my life is completely turned around and Mr. Freeley played a big role in that. Thank you!

I can confidently recommend this attorney as a personable, solid, experienced attorney in bringing a p...ersonal injury case to resolution in a timely thorough manner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
