Honest & reliable

Melissa Freeman, is a wonderful honest attorney. She showed us what ways we could have better chances with the charges. I would refer her to anyone in a legal despite. Thank God she was there to help out

Melissa truly cares for her clients

Melissa is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. She recently tried a case for my Son. I was not expecting the level of dedication or caring that she gave our family during this trying time. I had no understanding of how the legal system worked, as I have never been in any sort of legal trouble. ... Melissa walked us through each step with compassion and understanding. I know Melissa spent numerous hours preparing her case, I also know this case was an unusual situation, yet she refused to back down or give up. Melissa went way above and beyond to insure my son be found not guilty, and she was successful. I would highly recommend Melissa Freeman to anyone in a undesirable situation needing legal advice.

Melissa has been more than helpful in getting my case dismissed and providing legal advice for me whenever I needed it.

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.
