About James R. Freeman

A Reputation For Tenacity– Having been in practice for more than 50 years, my reputation precedes me. I practice in the areas of criminal law and family law and am relentless in my effort to obtain the best possible result for my clients. I will give you and your case the attention and care they deserve. Vast Experience In The Courtroom – I strive to reach out-of-court agreements with the opposing side but prepare as if we are going to trial. If we end up in court, I am well acquainted and comfortable in any Court or Hearing Room. I served as a Chester County prosecutor for 14 years, and during the last four of those years, I was Chester County’s first full-time district attorney. During my tenure with Chester County, I tried more than 150 jury trials. Client Testimonial: “I spoke to Mr. Freeman and I can’t find the best words to express how much I appreciate him. He’s down to earth and and never will leave you confused. He will fight for you and get the job done without you being worried sick, just the normal nerves lol. You won’t be disappointed by James Freeman.” - Marie F. "This law firm is top-notch. After several other lawyers gave me nothing but negative news, a friend of mine recommended Jim Freeman, and I am so grateful he did. Not only did Mr. Freeman minimize my charges, but my record will be cleared as well. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Amazing job! Thanks again, Mr. Freeman!" - Greg R. Peer Talk/Review: “Need to litigate a personal, business, or family law dispute? Hire Jim as the courtroom is his ‘happy place.’”- Dave Megay
