“Hi, today we’re sitting with Spencer Freeman, an attorney in Pierce County, Washington. Handles criminal defense and personal injury all across Pierce County, and actually all the counties in the Peugeot Sound. Spencer, before we get into talking about specific topics, what I’d like to do first is spend a few minutes having you talk about the precautions, the procedures that you’re doing in this time of Covid-19 to help out potential clients that need help and contact you. Because I think it’s important that everybody knows what’s happening, and what service providers, professionals such as yourself, are doing to make sure the public is safe.
“Sure. And I think making people comfortable, in that they’re safe, is of utmost importance during this time. The first thing that we do is we offer to have any consultation, whether it’s an initial consultation, or meetings that need to occur as we process a case, to occur over some video conferencing application. Most common right now is Zoom. We have a Zoom account, and that can be done from any smartphone. So, we can send out invites. And that’s not just for the…when I meet with potential clients or with clients. It’s also in dealing with opposing counsel, and we’ve also been doing that in dealing with courts in certain instances.
From there, and sometimes it is important to have an actual in-person meeting or clients prefer that…we are absolutely open to that and open for that. For that, we have regular cleaners that come in and clean specifically with Covid in mind, and then we have disinfectants here, that get used, both before and after any meeting that we would have. So, we don’t do the handshake, at this point, and that can be a little awkward, at times, when you are first meeting somebody, just because of the societal norms. But we’re safe for people to come in.”
“Thank you very much. They need to know because, needless to say, life does go on, and they still need to have help from professionals, such as yourself, when an issue arises in their life.”
“And I think that…to be honest with you, I think that the courts and the professionals in the legal industry that I know recognize that not only life goes on, but these cases need to move forward. And to the best we can, we’re doing that. And I think the courts are doing the best they can to do that.”
“Well, yes…needless to say, as we’ve talked before, it can’t go on forever. So, if things are beginning to slowly open up, and it’s important that the public knows how you’re dealing with steps in the opening of the criminal justice, or actually, the legal system…period. Thanks very much, we’ll talk to you again.”
“Thank you.”

Life is all about the unexpected – and the unexpected can come as pleasant surprises or non-so- pleasant accidents. We’re here to help you out when life takes a turn for the worst, to get you back on your feet again.
After practicing with a downtown Seattle firm, Spencer Freeman opened the Freeman Law Firm, Inc. in Tacoma, WA in 2005 after the birth of his first son. Over the course of time, the Freeman Law Firm, Inc. has adhered to the needs of its community, both locally and with contacts nationally. These needs have included litigation in several different areas, including Business Litigation, Copyright Infringement Litigation, Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice, First Party Bad Faith Litigation, Criminal Law, as well as Administrative Law. Mr. Freeman’s intent was and is to make those skills he has learned in his career and his passion for trials accessible.
Mr. Freeman’s connections locally and nationally nourished his practice over time. He has served the local community as well as handling cases in federal courts across the country. Locally, Mr. Freeman has assisted local businesses in such matters as contentious shareholder disputes and individuals in matters ranging from catastrophic injuries to class A felonies as well as lawsuits against insurance companies for bad faith claims practices. He tried a Whatcom County Superior Court case for a bail bond company that resulted in the first appellate law in Washington truly outlining the rights of fugitive recovery agents. He has tried cases in many counties throughout the State of Washington, argued before the Court of Appeals Division I and Division II and the Washington State Supreme Court.
Mr. Freeman’s practice has taken him beyond Washington State, where he has handled cases for national Internet multi-media companies enforcing copyrights in states such as Florida, Nevada, Arizona, and California. In those cases, he has successfully argued for jurisdiction in the United States against individuals that reside in other countries. Mr. Freeman also represented a publisher against sheriffs regarding First Amendment Rights to distribute a magazine in county jails, resulting in arguments before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the first case law of its kind. He has argued before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals five times and submitted a briefing to the United States Supreme Court.
On more than several occasions, Mr. Freeman has been retained by parties on the near eve of a trial solely for purpose of being lead trial counsel. One such successful case was against the U.S. Department of Justice in their first trial attempting to enforce the CAN-SPAM Act for the actions of independent contractors.
Mr. Freeman’s passion and strength lay in front of a jury. He finds a beautiful balance between fact witnesses, statutes, case law, rules of evidence, and the different contexts of each jury. Most cases find a resolution before trial, but the best resolution occurs when counsel is prepared to try the case. And, when a case cannot find resolution, Mr. Freeman loves to go to work.
