Experience matters!

I had the timely fortune of meeting Risa who was immeasurably qualified in terms of denying the actions of an unrelenting, psychologically ill ex through numerous criminal defense appearances - two of which were felony related, the net result of which were 4 individually dismissed/vacated outcomes ov...er the course of 18 months. Experience, strategy, knowing the intricacies of the 'players' inherent within the system, etc. proved extremely advantageous & as a result, life's once again enjoyable. I'd recommend Risa to anyone (and have).

Great job!!!

Ms. Freeman knew I had a good case and fought extremely hard for me. She didn't look for the quick plea deal just to end the case, continued working hard for me and was willing to take it all the way to trial because she believed she could win for me. It never ended up getting to trial though, after ...2 years of the court procedures, she was able to get my case dismissed. The outcome couldn't have been much better, so I'd highly recommend her to anyone that wants an attorney that will put the time and effort in. I also found her to be intelligent and clever during my suppression hearing, the way she cross-examined the state's witness was extremely effective, for she employed highly skilled tactics to show the witness was being dishonest, which is so important in any type of case. You want someone who believes in you and shows it with the effort they make on your case. I found Risa Freeman to be just that kind of lawyer. I highly recommend her.

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.
