About Mark

I am a proud supporter, volunteer, and Pro-bono attorney for Last Chance Animal Rescue, www.LCARescue.org.

As an animal adoption event leader, I lead adoption events with my daughter and other volunteers each Saturday in an effort to find rescue animals homes of their own.

 

Last Chance has a sanctuary in South Carolina, and rescues dogs from high kill shelters in the south where the kill rate is very high. Last Chance is foster based, and once an animal has a foster commitment, they are transported to Long Island.

 

On Saturdays I meet the transport van, and carry the dogs off to begin their journey of finding a forever home. Being involved in helping to make a difference in the lives of these animals is more rewarding than I could have ever thought. It is something that I have been doing for over two years, and I still look forward to each week.

 

The volunteers that I work with are some of the most compassionate and giving people that I have ever met. If you would like to learn more about how to become involved as a volunteer or foster, please call me at 631-495-9435 and I would be happy to speak to you.

Review Mark Freeley

Excellent Detail Oriented Lawyer

Posted by

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

Posted by

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.
