Excellent lawyer

Fantastic results! Mr. Freeman helped me obtain a good outcome with my case when other lawyers couldn't. I recommend him highly!

Top Notch Attorney

Many years ago Mr. Freeman represented me in my social security claim after I had to fire my previous attorney. Dealing with Mr. Freeman was night and day from the last attorney. Mr. Freeman was extremely knowledgable, a good communicator and put alot of effort into getting to know my particular me...dical problems which were quite lengthy and over many years. He compiled my situation and made it very understandable for a judge. He presented my case and WON. I did not even have to attend the hearing with him as I could not sit long enough due to severe back pain. I highly recommend him to go to bat for you as he did me. To me, he is one of the best!

Competent, Considerate and Professional = Success

My experience with Atty. Stephan John Freeman was pleasant and a success. I found him to be competent, considerate and honest. Informing me of the strength and weaknesses of my case. With his guidance I was able, after years of failed attempts without an attorney and with other attorneys, to resolve ...my case. Receiving my settlement within 4 months. I was surprised and elated. I will be eternally grateful.

an understanding and caring professional attorney

mr. freeman listened and understood the problem I was facing with my back injury and not being able to return to the work field. he explained to me the process and the actions that were to take place from his office and the legal end. as the process took place over several months with the social s...ecurity administration. mr. freeman kept me informed as each step of the process transpired. not once did I have to worry as to what was taking place. mr. freeman and his office did an excellent job in obtaining my social security disability for me. again I thank mr. freeman for his knowledge and expertise in his profession.

Excellence In Service

Mr. Freeman held an interview conference on my case. He appeared honest and to the point on where my case was. He accepted my case and we maintained communications open during the process. He was informative as to how the case would take place before the Judge. In my case the Judge granted a favorabl...e decision. I notice that the Judge had all the needed documentation in front of her, that was needed. Which reflects very much in favor of Mr. Freeman and his staff. Having had courtroom experience in the past, working in law enforcement and an attorney's office, I know how important it is to have all your ducks in a roll before the court. Needless to say I was impressed. Since then I have told my friends of his Law Firm. A couple of them have hired him, gave me great feedback and thank me for making them aware of his services. I want to add that I am extremely picky about recommanding any one, I give Mr. Freeman high recommandation.
