Michael Freedman founded The Freedman Firm in 2021 and has quickly established himself as one of the region’s top criminal defense and trial attorneys. Drawing on his background as a former federal prosecutor, his criminal practice runs the gamut of cases in both state and federal court. He routinely represents clients in white-collar fraud investigations and prosecutions and is set for trial in a federal honest services prosecution this June. In addition to white-collar fraud matters, he routinely represents clients facing other criminal charges, including assault, firearms, drugs, and sex crimes.

Freedman is also a go-to asset forfeiture attorney and has won the return of millions of dollars of client funds seized by the government. He also has a robust civil litigation practice, defending individuals and businesses against government regulators and in business disputes as well as representing plaintiffs in select matters.
