Wills

Attorney Freeman was a pleasure to work with in the drafting of wills for my husband and myself. He was prompt, courteous and had a great process to complete for thorough estate planning. I highly recommend Attorney Freeman for estate planning.

Employee Issues

When an employee issue arose in my dental practice I consulted Attorney Michael F. Freeman for advice. After listening to my concerns Attorney Freeman, in an expedient manner, created for me a clear and concise protocol on how to manage the employee in question. He also created a detailed eva...luation program going forward. His expertise, attention to detail, and timely manner let to an extremely favorable result. In short, I highly recommend the services of Attorney Michael F. Freeman. Thomas E. Spignesi, D.M.D., M.A.G.D.

A Consulting Agreement Customized for My Specific Needs

I asked Mike to prepare a consulting agreement for my start up consulting business. The process couldn't be easier. I provided Mike with a general overview of my business, and the next day he sent me a draft agreement, ready for my review. He designed it in such a way that it could be easily customiz...ed for any customer. After a quick round of collaboration, Mike delivered the finished product, for a very reasonable fee. If you are looking for an Attorney who will respond in a timely manner, deliver a high quality product at a fair price, and is easy to work with, I highly recommend Mike Freeman.

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.
