Why people hire Freeman & Fuson
Mark T. Freeman is one of relatively few Tennessee attorneys who hold the Board-Certified Civil Trial Specialist credential, which requires a documented record of jury trials and peer review. He has tried close to 100 cases. Most lawyers list 'trial experience' on their websites; very few have a credential that actually verifies it. That credential affects how the other side evaluates settlement offers.
