Mark Thomas Freeman

I have had to unfortunately deal with a very difficult and draining divorce. It started before I moved to Nashville and after I got here back in the summer of 2014 it went from bad to about as bad as things could possibly get. I had been through a few attorneys in Chicago before I finally found a y...oung guy who cared and really helped. The stars were aligned after my ex wife started up again much much worse then before after moving here and I found Mark on this site and reached out to him. He and Carolanne worked tirelessly to get me and my son through some of the most traumatic and awful days, weeks, and months of my life and in the end Justice was served. He (and Carolanne) are simply the best in every way imaginable you will find in this business without a doubt. He will always be our attorney as long as I reside in Nashville but even more important I am proud to call him a friend, as well. Thank you Mark!

Having been in political positions and viewing numerous trials and representations, I have a good comparison from a professional and personal perspective. Mark's communication of law and stratigies is superb. We were extremely comfortable during the trial as Mark's explanation of what was happeni...ng from both the plaintiff and defendant's position was very helpful. His ability to examine expert testimony documents is superb. This skill and his ability to cross examine expert testimony during the trial is paramount to the process. Mark stratigecally planned and executed our defense. He is more than adequate and demonstrates upmost professionalism. The repor he exhibits with apposing council and the judge is professional and effective. What impressed me the most was his ability to make key points through various avenues. He effectively stressed important facts by cross examining a witness or through presentations of motions. No matter the outcome of our trial, we feel that we could not have been represented any better. Our position was presented in the best way possible. After reflecting back over the entire process, we feel nothing was left out. Mark listened to every thing we said and found a way to incorporate our feelings and position effectively. We would definitely use him again in any situation. Thank you Mark for making such a stressful and humiliating process bearable.

I retained attorney mark freeman in feb. 2012, for a custody dispute that had begun in California then had a change of venue to Davidson county Tn. During the course of our litigation mark kept me informed of things that were going on. From getting the file transferred from California to Tennessee, f...ilings of the other party, and discussions he had with the other parties counsel. When it came to depositions mark was very skilled. He prepared me very well to be questioned by asking me tough questions so that when I was asked them in court or at deposition I would get the "deer in headlights" look. When questioning the opposing side he was very skilled and crafty in how he would ask questions. Building a box around the defendant so that when he asked the critical questions there was no way they could not answer the way we wanted or avoid telling us the truth we wanted to hear. There were many hearings and two trials during my custody litigation. During both hearings and trials, mark would very clearly present our case to the magistrate or judge. He had gone over with me the points of a comparative fitness test for child custody and we talked about how to give my testimony so that we covered those points. Mark in court was very confident and that confidence helped me to feel confident so that I could focus on giving testimony and responding well to being cross-examined. Through out the time I've worked with mark freeman, he would take the time have phone conversations with me, answering all my questions, explaining everything that was transpiring and what it meant. What our strategy was and what he felt the oppositions strategy was. He knew what motions to file in response to events that had taken place in the defendants life that had affected our case. I should mention that since I live in California and there is a two hour time difference, mark would take the time have these conversations with me on a Saturday or Sunday evening at what would of been ten o'clock in the evening for him. Although the custody matter has been resolved now, there is still so issues that I will need marks services for. We have a trial for contempt since my child's mother is not paying me child support, and I sure there will be requests to modify the parenting plan. Mark told me in the beginning of this that we had a good case that we could win, he was always honest with me and is very trustworthy. I would recommend him to anyone who has child custody or civil litigation issues.

Mark delivered what my prior attorney did not. For this alone I give him a good review. However he additionally showed true concern and interest in my case. He was timely in responding and I felt I had hired somebody who was actually interested in my case and not taking advantage of me. Anybody getti...ng into the legal world and needing their service should take the time to review and consult with the person. I would recommend meeting with Mark and see what you find would likely be a genuine professional in his trade.

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
