Custody and criminal charges

I don't even know were to begin. This past year has been hell on earth. Jim freeman was on a mission to get justice for my son. Mission accomplished !! my son was facing, criminal charges, indicated child abuse and limited contact with his son. Jim handled everything in a professional direct manner... and treated my son as if e was his own. I can not thank him enough . my son and is family can now enjoy spending time with our grandson. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Excellent Lawyer

Jim has been my lawyer for many years. He has represented me in various civil suits. He is a stand up guy who puts his years of experience to work for his clients. He can be a "bull dog" when he needs to be. He has always clearly explained everything to me, making sure that I understood. I have ...recommended him on several occasions to other people who have been very happy with his skills in Criminal defense too.

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.
