I was trying to decide my options as my marriage fell apart. I dreaded contacting lawyers for fear of the inevitable hours and dollars this separation would take. I was tempted to stick with my misery to avoid the emotional and monetary cost. I was very pleased with my conversation with lawyer Darren Freeston. Warm, friendly and practical with a straightforward layout of solutions. Now, I see a clear path to completing my separation paperwork and project. I look forward to enjoying a new life and I highly recommend this family law lawyer to look after your separation project as he is knowledgeable, caring, and effective in fighting for your rights in this matter.

I've only had one interaction with Darren and that was enough for me to run! He kept interrupting me while I was trying to explain my situation. He wasn't understanding but instead indicated that I was a liar. He concluded that he couldn't help me before I got a chance to tell him what I wanted. He was rude and obnoxious. Quite full of himself. Be prepared to get ripped apart before he will allow you to speak your side.

Mr. Freeston is a lawyer who is prepared, knowledgeable and effective. While dealing with him I have found him to always be respectful, polite, helpful and empathetic. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of a family lawyer.

He quoted about half the price for going to court, compared to what I actually paid...I'm talking $10,000! Did not recommend arbitration. Said it was better to go to court. Do arbitration!! Too worried about offending the judge, so does not argue for the client. Nervous in court. I was wishing I had the other lawyer! So thorough that he goes over and over documents logging time and money. I was so stress gathering evidence; I don't think it mattered much at all. I don't believe the judge read even 20% of what we submitted. When I asked for a letter of receipt for taxes, he was going to charge me to go through my whole file. NOT happy with my court result. He patted himself on the back for the one clause that I did win. I figure I won 20% of what I was asking for, and I had a supposed STRONG case. When I did the math for what he predicted the judge would grant me, I think he was 20% correct. Very friendly and supportive, until the verdict, then cool and distant.

Took my money and provided nothing. I ended up going to a different lawyer and starting over. He failed to communicate the process. Offered assurances but didn't follow through. Totally unethical.

Mr. Freeston is one of the most professional and prudent lawyers that I have had the pleasure of working with. He vigorously advocates for the interests of his clients and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Met with him to do a divorce at first he said it was a free consultation. Finally called him back after several weeks saying let's proceed I have the money. He never called back, he wouldn't respond to emails. His receptionist said "i don't know his schedule" just very unprofessional.

Charged for services I never received, then dropped the case without reason or just cause. I'm out $1000 and wasted months of time and still have zero access to my kids. Thanks for wasting my time and money! Avoid this evil man!
