Attorney meeting the highest standards

At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, (It’s not), the following is a real world experience with this Atty, Attorney Freireich truly is one of those rare attorneys that is a complete package: Profession, Loyal, Tack Sharp and Knowledgable, Accountable, Fair -Professionalism: One who encompass...es complete professionalism... always, even in the face of opposing councel who is a lying, disrespectful, abomination. Will not lower his standards by lying, cheating in any way shape or form, will not cross the line and break rules (so don’t ask!) -Loyalty: Loyalty to the client way beyond the call of duty, When I have to come into town to be present, he will not allow me to stay in a hotel, but welcomes me into his home and guest room, and to eat at his table. . Law: Just a brilliant tactician, who I’ve experience 1st hand have deeper knowledge of the law than some judges... Actually lobbied in front of US Congress to change a long withstanding (and unfair) Law... and WON. (That law is now changed) Accountability: Atty Freireich exudes confidence, accountability, and strength through the entire case. Communication: Like it or not, I’ve experienced communication 7 days/week, when (he’s) on vacation.. Clear concise, sometimes to a fault, and I sometimes get lost in the weeds, but I’d rather have more than less. Conclusión: This guy is the real deal, I’m thankful and feel forutnate to have him on my team... and would highly recommend him to anyone, If he will take your case. ... he also plays a mean game of chess! :)

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.
