What our clients are saying

I was really scared when I found out that I had a warrant out for my arrest and I knew I had not done anything. I really felt like everyone at the courts assumed I was guilty. I was relieved when I contacted the attorneys at Freers, Freers, and Freers. They reassured me and I was confident after seeing them in court that they would help me. Turns out they were able to get my case dismissed which was a huge relief to me.
