Terrific

Mr Freeman was very straightforward and efficient. He knows his subject very well yet answered my questions in plain English. He always called me back within a day or two. His timelines were accurate too even though ssa is very backlogged. I had been through a failed hearing and an appeal before I me...t him, but he took my case anyway. I knew he could win it, and he did. Thanks Steve!

Impeccable Service

Attorney Stephan Freeman came highly recommended and I am very satisfied with the service he provided. He won my case after several years of appeals. Mr. Freeman was very calm and professional and I would recommend him to anyone needing a disability Lawyer.

Life Saver

I'm so glad that I was referred to Steve Freeman by my family attorney. I was at my wits end after being denied Social Security Disabilty benefits twice before going to see Mr. Freeman. He was very straightforward about what I could expect when we appealed my disability claim. He was very thorough in... collecting medical records needed to represent me in the most professional and timely manner as possible. I found Mr. Freeman to be pleasant and he always took the time to answer my questions throughout the process. He is extremely knowledgeable in disability law and I would highly recommend Steven Freeman to anyone in need of services.

My social security attorney

Mr. Freeman - Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! You were a life saver. After being denied SSD I applied for SSI, hired you and won. Since I lived so far from your office our consultations were all conducted on the phone. You were very professional and excellent in front of the judge. I sent you a ...referral and you won her case to. We are both forever grateful. I highly recommend Mr. Stephan J. Freeman. Again, thank you for giving me a new start.

  • 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.
