Mr. Freeman is one of the best attorneys that I have come across in New Jersey and New York.

Mr. Freeman was an effective adversary on a recent case. He represented his client effectively, with dignity and had the respect of myself and the Judge. I would recommend him highly to others.

He is a passionate advocate for his clients and an experienced lawyer.

Michael Pastacaldi

A lawyer should represent more than his client a lawyer should represent truth and honesty. Brian is down to earth when dealing with the realities of a family law practice but always dignified in his transactions with others.

Mr Frank P Marciano
January 30, 2020
I gave him the highest rating because he tries his best in every case and deals with lawyers and judges very well, which is important

Santo Artusa Jr.

Mr. Freeman has a certain presence in court that allows his clients to feel at ease during their cases. I’ve seen Mr. Freeman talk to his clients as individuals with their own sets of problems and actually listens to them. Best of all, Mr. Freeman knows the law and would not waste time settling a clients matter.

Kristofher Beralo

I gave the top rating because of the breadth of experience exemplified in his practice.
