"Mr. Freeman, I don't have the words to express my thanks for representing me. I couldn't have found a better attorney -- someone who takes the time to understand the nuances of legal matters, provides straightforward counsel and is "streetwise" savvy enough to know exactly when and how hard to push when it counts the most. I'd have been railroaded by 'the system' if not for you. I hope I never need a criminal attorney ever again, but if I do, you'll be my first phone call." Client e-mail, 2008
"As an immigration attorney of thirty years experience, who does not practice criminal law, I am very particular about who I refer my clients to. In my client's cases it is not only their freedom that is at stake, but their right to remain in the United States with their families and, sometimes even their lives (witness, Hmong freedom fighters and Iraqi Christians). John Freeman is at the top of my list. He is a man of incredible character and integrity who is tenacious as he is conscientious. His retainer fees are far less than those charged by the other top tier criminal attorneys in the metro-Detroit area. I've never heard a single complaint from the many clients I've sent his way but have received many calls thanking me for referring them to him." Fellow Attorney, Review, 2009
"I've dealt with many attorneys over the course of my lifetime, from divorce to defense and prosecution and John is BY FAR the best attorney I've ever dealt with! I've hired the big box attorneys before - the guys you see on TV - and NEVER did I get the type of personal attention I've received from Mr. Freeman. He's not a suit like the other attorneys - he's simply a good hearted individual who will give you his all, reliably and without fail. He's professional, knowledgeable and the best in his field. I highly recommend John Freeman." Client Recommendation, 2009
" To [emphasize] John's respect in the criminal defense legal community, he is the lawyer that other criminal defense attorneys refer their friends and family to. As a criminal defense attorney myself, I can personally attest that I have used John's motions, advice, and legal strategies to win many of my cases. In addition to his tenacious and zealous representation of his clients, John brings the knowledge of having participated in many of the most difficult state and federal cases Michigan has ever seen. As a testament to his character, my father (who exclusively practices federal criminal defense) refers to John as one of the best, if not the best, US Attorney he ever faced. Of course, now that John exclusively represents criminal defendants, my thought is that those pesky prosecutors shake in their boots anytime they see his name on a pleading. There is no question about it, if my life was on the line, I'd have John represent me." Fellow Attorney, Review, July 2009
"Mr. Freeman is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. His years of prosecution experience give him an understanding of what it takes to get the best result possible for his clients. He takes the time necessary to develop the defense and has outstanding investigators at his disposal to bolster the case. He considers angles others would not think about and knows when to be aggressive with prosecutors and judges and when to use a softer approach. He is up-front and honest with his evaluation of the prospects of outcome, which can sometimes be difficult for a client to hear and accept as a "miracle" is what is hoped for. Nevertheless, he will still work to achieve that "miracle".... I highly recommend Mr. Freeman and would not hesitate to hire him for any criminal matter, whether it is a small misdemeanor or a serious felony charge." Client Recommendation, 2009
"John is one of the hardest working lawyers I know. And one of the smartest. He knows how to work with the government for a deal and how to challenge the government when necessary. I heartily recommend him to potential clients and to colleagues who need a criminal defense resource." Fellow Attorney, Review, June 2009
"I think [Mr. Freeman] worked very hard in my case.... He convinced my judge to low[er] my sentence from 41 months to 24 months.... Thank you for your service. I hope not to need you again, but if necessary I will call you again." Client comment, 2009
"Mr. Freeman's extraordinary knowledge of the law and ability to negotiate provided the necessary legal council for a timely resolution to my particular case. His professionalism and availability were key factors in my retaining him as my lawyer. I have complete confidence in his understanding of the legal system and I highly recommend him as an experienced defense attorney." Client Recommendation, 2009
"Mr. Freeman handled an extremely sensitive situation based upon by positions in business and the military. Mr. Freeman's experience as a former Assistant US Attorney was immeasurable. He kept me informed and managed my "highs and lows" as we worked through our not perfectly fair criminal justice system. Not only is Mr. Freeman well-qualified, but he is also supported by a ubiquitous system of contacts. This was critical in gaining a favorable outcome." Client Review, 2009
"Mr. Freeman represented me in a matter involving an Internal Affairs Investigation. At all times, he was professional, trustworthy, honest and when the "face to face" meetings occurred, was the proverbial "pit bull" in dealing with the IA types. Anyone who has dealings with IA know that there motto is "Guilty until we say your not" and then they still won't clear your reputation. Mr. Freeman was fair in his monetary charges and time spent with him in discussions, conferences and face to face meetings was well worth it. A reputation is priceless and when Mr. Freeman took my case he knew what was riding on the result and fought to let me keep a deserved and well earned reputation." Client Review, 2009
"Dear Mr. Freeman: I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance. It meant a great deal to our business that you were so professional and readily available to answer questions throughout the legal process. Also, we appreciated your quick responses to our questions. If any other legal issues come up, I will not hesitate to call you for advice." Client e-mail, 2009
"I have found Mr. Freeman to be knowledgeable and detail oriented. Most importantly, however, is his desire to win. This is an essential quality in a legal advocate. Highly recommended." Client Recommendation, 2009
"Mr. Freeman is an outstanding attorney. His experience and support was crucial in resolving my complex case. He is very professional in all his dealings and understands the intricate details of the law." Client Comment, 2009
"I felt helpless and hopeless until I met with Mr. Freeman. He made me feel comfortable right away with his knowledge of the law regarding my legal situation. He spoke truthfully from the beginning, clearly outlined my legal options, and not only helped me understand, but kept me informed of, the entire process of my criminal case." Client Comment, 2009
"I talked to a lot of lawyers. Mr. Freeman was the one who seemed willing to fight the hardest and he knew all about the law. His information helped me alot. Also his prices were good compared to some of the others. He really helped me. I would highly recommend him. Thanks Mr. Freeman." Client Recommendation, 2009

"If it wasn't for Mr. Freeman, I would probably be paying for something that I did not do. He was very professional. I would recommend Mr. Freeman to anyone who is looking for a good professional defense lawyer." Client Recommendation, 2009
"John provided personal and efficient service. He is responsible, helpful, truly cares about his clients. He made a difficult situation for me so much better. My family could not have appreciated him more." Client Recommendation, 2010
"My daughter found John on-line and that day called many lawyers. He talked to her, gave her information and guidance. She told me he is the one and she was right. John is an exceptional person and truly cares about [our daughter]." Testimonial from parent of a client, 2010
