About George

I have a degree in accounting that helps me crunch numbers better than most, from U of W. I've been a die-hard Husky since the 70s, Go Dawgs!

 

With my wife, I rescue and re-home dogs, particularly older or injured dogs that don't have a lot of hope to escape euthanasia. We have helped chihuahuas, papillons, pit bulls, labs, corgis, bulldogs, cattle dogs, schipperkes, rottweilers, retrievers, collies, and everything in between. 

 

I am a member of WOOFD2, a club for participants in frisbee dog sports. My dog Babe was a state champion who toured the country and even went to Canada to promote her sport. 

 

I enjoy fishing, golfing, boating, skiing, bowling, and all sorts of other sports. I have been a member of National Ski Patrol for 5 years, and I love to ski the Summit at Snoqualmie. (Though nothing compares to Whistler Blackcomb or Big White!)

 

In my free time (of which I have very little) I can be found reading sports and political biographies, grilling on my deck, or hanging out watching the Golf Channel.

A true advocate

Posted by

George truly puts “advocate” in “legal representation.” My family was recently named in a suit regarding a motor vehicle accident, and when our insurer repeatedly refused to settle with the plaintiff, we approached George for counsel. He immediately put me at ease. He explained the process clearly and mapped out the likely outcomes. He subsequently worked with the plaintiff and our insurer to make sure our interests were properly represented. Best of all, he was always responsive to our phone calls and emails, and whenever another thick pile of legal documents full of dire warnings from the plaintiff arrived at our doorstep, George was available to explain their significance and help us keep some perspective. If you’re looking for a legal representative who is really on your side, I highly recommend George Freeman.

Jason Newcombe, Criminal defense Attorney on May 24, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

George is an excellent attorney who truly cares about his clients and the results that he achieves for them. This is a big part of what set him apart from other attorneys. He is also a rare blend of a superior legal mind and essential pragmatist that is consistently focused on results. As a bonus, he is simply a beautiful human being and wonderful man, which makes him a pleasure to deal with on every level. It would be impossible for me to give George a stronger recommendation. We currently refer all of Skagit County, Island County, and Whatcom County family law work to him. I highly recommend George and his team.

George Freeman is a very well respected and experienced Family Law, Personal Injury, and Criminal Defense attorney. He handles big cases and gets great results for his clients. He has worked in family law for years and knows how to best handle cases in the Snohomish and Skagit county courts. He is up front and honest with this clients and won't mislead or sugar-coat the possibilities of your case. Most importantly of all, George is one of the most cost effective attorneys out there. He will work with you on fee's and often will charge a lot less than others because he really likes to help others. I know George because I have worked with him on several divorce cases where he didn't even charge his clients because he just wanted to make sure they didn't get take advantage of by the other party.

I never work on a personal injury case without bringing George and his qualified staff on board. He's a graduate of the Gerry Spence college and has mock trials with jurors before we go to trial.
