Hale Freeland handled my father's estate. Dad had completed his will with Hale years ago and when he died I (as executor) contacted Hale to advise us on selling Dad's property and completing all remaining legal matters. Having a parent die is very difficult of course, and what I learned working with ...Hale is that having an empathetic, knowledgeable and committed attorney to help out makes all the difference in the world. Hale was all that and more. He has been a blessing to our family and we are grateful for his help and support.

I have been a client of Mr. Hale Freeland long enough to have a good sense of his personal and professional integrity / constitution. I have worked with him on a variety of needs that required the expertise of a legal counselor. I have found in Mr. Freeland a very sensitive, humanitarian approach to... handling my personal legal issues that at times were emotionally overwhelming for me. Mr. Freeland consistently kept me updated on the procedural process and progress of the situations and gave me a sense of confidence that he truly had my best interest at the heart of the legal matters. He gave me detailed explanations of procedures whereby at times I lacked understanding of what and how the legal process unfolds. I have found in working with Mr. Freeland that his approach is holistic, not a 'one size fits all' approach to matters relevant to my specific concerns. The initial contact with a lawyer is of utmost importance in recognizing if that person is the right person for you and has similar demeanor in approach to matters and has the competance of knowledge when encountering difficult issues that need a sensitive handling. That 'feeling' / 'evaluation' will be different for everyone, as we all have different expectations of outcomes and how we deal with difficult encounters, but that initial gut feeling about the person you will be placing your trust in should be paid attention to. I have felt that the legal issues that i have placed in Mr. Freeland's care have been handled with professional competence and sensitivity to the processes involved. Mr. Freeland cares deeply about his work and he demonstrates a selfless confidence and dignity to his profession of the law and the clients in his care.
