Mark Freeman is a First Class Attorney

Mark Freeman has represented our family and several of our companies over the years. Mark is an outstanding attorney who has a brilliant mind and is very detail oriented. He is always looking for what is our best interest and not once has attempted to pad a bill in any way; he is very conscious of ...what our total spend will be. Mark's mission is to get the very best outcome for our interests. Mark Freeman also returns phone calls, text messages, and emails in a timely manner; he does not hide from you. We have had the great misfortune of using a different attorney in the past who was a ghost and did not keep us informed on the progress of our case. I trust Mark Freeman’s implicitly. He is of very high character and he does not lie. In addition to all of the above attributes, Mark Freeman is a man who has a great family. Mark is a dedicated Father and Husband. Mark Freeman is good people. We are thankful to call Mark Freeman friend. Our family and businesses would endorse Mark Freeman in the most affirmative way in any legal matter that you would encounter.

Outstanding attorney in Nashville

After several frustrating experiences with 3 other much more expensive attorneys, I was referred to Mark Freeman over 4 years ago, and he has been my attorney ever since in a very long and drawn out divorce / child support issue. Mark is extremely honest, fair and knowledgeable in the areas of divor...ce and family law, and I would (and have) recommend him far and above other attorneys I have used, some of whom are very high profile and charge MUCH more, yet delivered far less in terms of their attention to and skill with my case. For over 4 years I followed Mark's advice during several hearings, depositions, mediation attempts and appeals, and in the end we received a very fair yet favorable final outcome. The overall value is outstanding and I highly recommend Mark Freeman and will continue to use him for my legal needs.

Extremely Satisfied Client

I can not fully express the peace that Mark Freeman and Joey Fuson brought to me during and after my business with them. I am young (20 yrs) and had no experience in the court system. I am thankful for their sincerity with me as I was fearful of them taking advantage of me. There was no loop holes or... deception. Everything they told me was cut and dry. I was extremely scared after the mistake I made. I knew I was not a bad person but this would not appear to be so on paper. They both are honest, hardworking men who I now consider friends. They took the time to get to know me on a personal level and gave me so much relief. I can still vividly remember how I ran out of their office so happy and felt like I could breathe again. This relief continued through the entire case until the verdict was even better than what I expected. I can now go on with my life without one mistake ruling my future and goals. I accredit this all to them.

Awesome Communication!

Mark Freeman called me before I ever had to call him. He always kept me informed of the status of my case. His staff was always nice and I never felt like a bother. He helped me fight a wrongful medical bill from a hospital.

An "In Court" Attorney

I found myself needing a lawyer after a Contractor that I had been working for decided he had better things to spend my money on rather than paying me for my loyal services. I spoke with a few lawyer friends of mine whom directed me to Mark Freeman. Referred by other lawyers, in my mind, seemed promi...sing. While interviewing Mark Freeman, he made a statement that stuck with me and made him my choice. He said that he "loved to be in the courtroom". So many lawyers avoid the courtroom by cutting deals on the outside, leaving them with little actual courtroom experience. Not so with Mr. Freeman. It was very interesting to learn and watch how he handled the case in front of the court. He won my case, and has since gone on to win several other cases for people that I referred over, keeping his record, in my opinion, excellent and my referrals coming. If you have to go to court; go with the mindset that you may actually be “IN” a courtroom. You better have someone on your side who Loves it! Gary

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
