Giving Back to Our Community

At the Law Offices of Freeman & Freeman, we believe that it takes more than money to make our community and our country a better place. It also requires action. In the words of Winston Churchill, “You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give.” Our attorneys and staff have been proud to volunteer their time and efforts to the following organizations:
