Biography

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:

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.
