This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Came to my Lake Grove, NY home during COVID to ensure I was OK!

Mission accomplished. Mark, during Covid, came to visit me to ensure I was safe, and, to provide the best possible advice and service. Three years post accident, with deep appreciation for Marks' thoughtfulness, advice, support and legal expertise, I received the best possible medical care. And, my... case resolved to my satisfaction. Mark, post settlement, still checks in to ensure I am well and recovering. Thank you for your exemplar advice. And, special kudos and thanks for your many contributions (you are quite humble about all you do!) to area non profits and your pro bono legal work.

Excellent Detail Oriented Lawyer

We hired Mark for a personal injury case involving a pedestrian being struck. Mark was very personable, attentive, and accommodating in the early stages of the case when we were just recovering from the accident. Mark stayed in constant communication providing updates and always responded within in a... timely fashion when we had questions all throughout the 3 year duration of the case. We always felt that Mark gave our case his full attention and could find the correct documents in our case file regardless of how many boxes the files took up. Would definitely recommend without hesitation!

Mark T. Freeley - The Best In The Game

Mark Freeley is an incredible injury attorney and a tremendous person. After my horrible accident a few years ago, I had the privilege of meeting Mark and made the best decision possible in choosing him for representation. He is extremely knowledgable in all areas and is the consummate professional. ...He was so very helpful, compassionate, and caring. He was top notch from the very beginning to the completion of my case, and to this very day. He treated me as a top priority and was with me every step of the way throughout the entire process with his care, advice, and dedication. Mark is all about getting the best results for his clients in every way. He was constantly accessible, in constant communication, has outstanding values, and was true please to have represent me. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for an injury attorney. He is truly great at what he does and is an even better person. Mark is the best choice to make for personal injury representation.

My Attorney, Mark Freeley

My family and I have used Mark to handle several accident/injury cases for us over the last 15 years. each time he treated us very professionally. He returned all of our phone calls, always kept us up to date on the status of our cases, and pushed our cases quickly through the courts. Each and every ...time he was successful and obtained excellent settlements for us. He never let us down, and we always felt like he cared about us and our case. Over the years I have recommended to him all of my family and friends, all of whom have thanked me for telling them about Mark. I have great confidence in him, his experience, and results!!! I wouldn't trust anyone else to handle my accident/injury case. I also respect that he is a big supporter of last chance animal rescue, and volunteers his time to make a difference. He is truly a different kind of lawyer.
