An amazing legal team
Without the help of the entire Freeman Law firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Jason Freeman took on a difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen as the opposite side was all about tricks, lies, and harassment beyond measures. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Jason, Matthew Roberts and Greg Mitchell did not falter. Their thorough research and confidence provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I recommend Freeman Law as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be a client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands. I will leave this with one final comment that is most important, they treated me as a human and acted towards me as humans with great empathy, which was very important to me and my family.

Checks all the boxes
Jason checked all the obvious boxes desired in legal counsel - thorough, determined, knowledgeable, practical and able to communicate. But he also checked the more extraordinary boxes of being kind, fair, ethical and selfless. To put it more simply, he has both a brain and a heart.

Incredibly grateful to have been helped by Jason
Its taken us about a year to write this review, one mainly because of the words to put into writing for this kind human being! Also, with what's going on in the world the past year. Jason has done numerous things for our company and for myself personal, one of which id like to share a story. I was closing on my first home, I thought processes are checked by the finance companies and others involved well after months of getting to the closing table a small issue had risen, I called Jason and of course he always picks up and he said he was on vacation, even though I didn't want to ask I had to I was literally at the closing table. This man spent time while on his own personal time to help me out. He immediately sent me what I needed from his laptop while on vacation. The sincerity, kind heart, and great service will never be forgotten. As I live in my home there is not a day doesn't go by knowing somehow you had a part in making this happen. I highly recommend Jason to everyone looking for a qualified individual who is incredibly intelligent in his field and industry. He has great poise and the appreciate I have for him and his firm is beyond! Jason thank you for everything you have done for me and my family, were incredibly grateful. thank you!

Tax Attorney
Jason navigated me through the difficult process of dealing with and settling with the IRS. He was good with communication and the outcome, although a long road due to the IRS, we had a great outcome! I would recommend Jason for anyone or any company that needs assistance with Tax and corporate issues.

Excellent Advice and Results
I contacted Jason on the recommendation of a friend to handle a specific tax matter. Jason evaluated the matter, provided reasonable expectations of results along the way, and handled every aspect from start to finish. We ultimately prevailed and I couldn't be more happy with his representation.

Great Tax Attorney!
Jason is fantastic and knows his business very well. He is honest and up front when working with his clients and presented me with a number of ways that we could resolve my needs. Jason is a problem solver and he is extremely well spoken. He is very personable and has a great rapport with the people he negotiates with. Because of this, he was able to help with my issues and many others in the DFW area and beyond. When you have a serious tax issue it is so important not to skimp on representation. Get the best! and Jason IS the best! He gets REAL results.

We are very impressed with the way Jason handled our situations for our business. He thoroughly listened, and analyzed the facts, and strategically came up with a very smart plan to put our case to rest. Jason has a very calming character, which meant a lot to us in upsetting times. I would not only like to call him our lawyer, but also, I feel he is a friend. You don't have to do much research to see that Jason is highly ranked and a well respected lawyer. We highly recommend Jason Freeman!

We won our case with the IRS!
A decision from the U.S. Tax Court saying no money is due on your tax case is the best document you'll ever read! We knew we were in the right when the investigation began, but we also knew we needed the very best to insure the best outcome on the case. Jason's background as a CPA and experience as an attorney for tax issues made the difference. We highly recommend him for any case you might have against you involving the IRS or the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Best of the Best
As soon as my husband and I met with Mr. Freeman, we were confident that we had hired the best of the best. We were provided with sound legal advise, proper representation and peace of mind. Jason was professional, passionate and accommodating to our needs. Jason exudes professionalism but shows empathy and understanding to the clients he represents. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone wanting the very best legal representation.

IRS voluntary disclosure
I hired Jason to file a streamlined voluntary disclosure agreement with the IRS. Jason was very professional throughout the entire process. He explained things clearly and made what could have been a very stressful situation relatively easy.

Mr. Freeman is capable of handling a multitude of complicated legal matters in a fair direct manner without multiple layers of staff. His communication skills are excellent. We consulted Jason to assist in complex real estate deals and we could not be more elated with his professionalism and service. We highly recommend calling Freeman Law first!!

Jason represents legal world with integrity
5 stars We hired Jason for a multitude of reasons but our foremost reason is that he was methodical with his research and immensely calm and fierce while litigating our case. Our primary goal was to win and Jason was astute and ingenious with his knowledge of legal procedure and connected it with the facts of our case which resulted in our win in the courtroom. Besides his brilliant mind; he is uniquely warm and sincere and I believe had genuine concern for us and passionately fought for us in the courtroom. We hope to never need a lawyer again; but if we do , we will hire Jason again.

I needed an international tax expert
I practically live in two countries: Switzerland and the U.S. In the recent years the IRS tended to come after citizens very aggressively just for having a bank account overseas. "A Swiss bank account", right? My regular corporate lawyer didn't feel that he could represent me competently enough and recommended Jason Freeman. Hiring him was the best decision ever. After that first run-in with the IRS which Jason cleared up quickly and skillfully, I've never had any problems with the IRS again.

trustworthy, kind, professional, ethical
My dad is a financial advisor and recommended Jason Freeman when I needed help with an IRS audit. In fact, my dad continually refers clients to Freeman Law because Jason is such a trustworthy, kind, and professional individual. I'm extremely thankful for the whole team here. They were a huge blessing.

Reachable, Caring Attorney FOR REAL!
Even though we're not a large corporation with a big budget, Jason treated us like we were and within our budget. He helped us with various employee tax questions, documents needed and even counseled us with an employee situation... that part as a courtesy! Jason, his highly knowledgeable, reachable and truly cares.

Recommendation
Jason was not only thorough, but he was compassionate about the case and me personally. Lawyers tend to be cold and about the money or the case, but Jason took a personal interest in me and my family during some difficult times. He will stand up for you and represent you very well. Well after the case has been closed and gone, Jason still checks up on me and my family.
