About

I Will Stand Beside YouI am James R. Freeman, Esq., I am a sole practitioner who focuses on criminal defense and family law. For more than 40 years, I have been practicing law in Phoenixville Pennsylvania, Chester County and the surrounding area.I served as a Chester County prosecutor for 14 years, and during four of those years I was Chester County's first full-time district attorney.I advocate strongly for my clients, and I do it for a reason: in criminal and family law matters, people's lives andfutures are at stake. If you have been charged with a crime, it is you against the government. You absolutely need someone who is able to meet that challenge and not back down. When your life is on the line, you deserve a lawyer who will stand up for you and your interests.I have represented clients in thousands of cases, and I take pride in what I do. My reputation precedes me: I am relentless in my efforts to obtain the best possible result for my clients.I Make Prosecutors Earn ItWhen I am defending clients in criminal matters, I do not give prosecutors anything. If they are going to get a conviction, I make them earn it. When you retain my services, I will be the one standing beside you. You can rest assured I will do everything in my power to guide you safely through the criminal or civil maze that may be confronting you.Why I Still Practice LawI earned my bachelor's degree from Dickinson College in 1966 and my law degree from The Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle in 1969. If you want to know why I still practice law after so many years, the answer is simple: I care deeply about what I do, and I truly enjoy helping people.

I don't even know were to begin. This past year has been hell on earth. Jim freeman was on a mission to get justice for my son. Mission accomplished !! my son was facing, criminal charges, indicated child abuse and limited contact with his son. Jim handled everything in a professional direct manner and treated my son as if e was his own. I can not thank him enough . my son and is family can now enjoy spending time with our grandson. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If you are looking for an attorney that will fight for you until the end and WIN then Attorney Freeman is your man. He helped me win a custody case that I didn't think that I could win. He was always honest and upfront with all of his legal advice. He was honestly like a father to me and he knew that I was being mistreated and consistently took up for me through every step of the way! I wish I could give this man 10 stars but the system is only allowing 5! Thanks Attorney Freeman for all of your assistance.

I have used Mr. Freeman for the past 3 years. I have been dealing with a difficult estranged husband in a custody case. Over this time Mr. Freeman has shown knowledge of custody law and the rights I have as a parent. Mr. Freeman has representing me in the court room on many occasions and every single time has excelled in his representation. He has a knack for providing the court room with the information needed to prove his case. Mr. Freeman has always impressed with with his comfort level in and out of court.He does not hold back when he is faced with a challenge or question for the Judge. He truly cares about his clients and their rights. He truly has gone above and beyond for me. If you are looking for an excellent attorney that will work for you Mr. Freeman is honestly one of a kind!

Jim is professional HONEST, will tell you what you are up against, No sugar coating! Fair, listens and will defend you like a mother bear defends her cubs ! we are still in the process but i am confident that Jim will get the results we are hoping for. He told us, "If I can't help you, nobody can" I trust in his expertise.

Jim has been my lawyer for many years. He has represented me in various civil suits. He is a stand up guy who puts his years of experience to work for his clients. He can be a "bull dog" when he needs to be. He has always clearly explained everything to me, making sure that I understood. I have recommended him on several occasions to other people who have been very happy with his skills in Criminal defense too.
