SE, Durham
Wills & Probate
“I have used Freeman Johnson for a couple of family law cases and been extremely happy with their service, advice and advocacy. They are extremely professional, and in both cases I obtained a result better than expected.”
TM, Darlington
Medical Negligence
“My case was dealt with professionally as Freeman Johnson listened to what I had to say and gathered all the facts they could from other sources. Then putting the right man on the job who could see the mistakes that had been made meant that a settlement was agreed quicker and easier than I would have thought. I have and will again recommend Freeman Johnson to anyone in a similar position to that which I was in.”
JR, Durham
Residential Conveyancing
“Michelle and Catherine handled our property purchase and we were really happy with the service. We were kept fully informed of what was happening and when there were delays on the sellers side they made sure these were chased up so the process didn’t stall. Both were really approachable whenever we had any questions. Couldn’t have asked for any more!”
RK, Darlington
Wills & Probate
“Very good firm. My mother has been with Freeman Johnson since she was in her 20’s and she is now in her 80’s – fantastic solicitors.”
AA, Northallerton

RD, Darlington
Medical Negligence
“On behalf of J and myself, we really appreciate what Dorian Williams did for J in her medical negligence claim in proving the case and obtaining compensation. Given J’s condition, it was important to reach a quick settlement and we were both pleased that you were able to deal with things quickly for which we cannot thank you enough.”
MC, Darlington
Wills & Probate
“Thank you so much for the successful ending to my case. I found the service provided was efficient and professional and the outcome was acceptable. I would certainly use your company again and definitely recommend you to friends and family.”
AR, Darlington
Personal Injury
“I was involved in a serious road accident in 2010 and after careful research chose Freeman Johnson Solicitors and Mr Dorian Williams in particular to represent me and pursue my claim for compensation. I received first class, professional service from Mr Williams and the support staff at FJ. I was kept informed of developments every step of the way and felt involved in all aspects of the case. The compensation I received was well in excess of what I had anticipated and a testament to the expertise and hard work of Mr Williams and his team.”
AJ, Stratford-Upon-Avon
Medical Negligence
“I can thoroughly recommend Freeman Johnson, and in particular, Mr Dorian Williams from the Darlington office. In this field there is a real need for considerable expertise and experience and this showed through in their dealings with me. They know how to identify and commission the relevant experts to ensure the reports are comprehensive and accurate. This is very important as not all “experts” appeared to me to justify the use of the word “expert”. I developed a strong feeling that I could both trust them and rely on them. This resulted in a very successful outcome. ”
MC, Wales
Wills & Probate
“I am happy with your service/work in an area in which I have no knowledge or experience. I expected a professional job and you delivered, so thank you.”
AK, Barnard Castle

ID, Darlington
Commercial
“I’ve used Ed Miller, partner at Freemans twice now for purchase & sale (2019 & 2022) of Commercial Property in Darlington. If you’re the kind of person looking for personal attention, sound advice & good old fashioned service, (with a smile & humour), then Miller’s your man. I highly recommend him, as do others I’ve spoken to; Ed has a solid reputation for ‘delivering the goods’, THANK YOU”
DT, Durham
Residential Conveyancing
“Catherine and Marie handled the recent sale of my house expertly and informatively from beginning to end. This is the 4th time I have used Freeman Johnson for conveyancing and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks again!”
PT, Spennymoor
Family Law
“Being involved in family proceedings was extremely stressful and upsetting at times. Mrs Lannagan was my solicitor throughout. She handled my case with sensitivity, compassion and with the utmost professionalism from start to finish, often having to deal directly with the other party who’s behaviour was challenging at times. She went way above and beyond being my solicitor, always on hand to answer questions or address concerns. We achieved the outcome we hoped for and I’d highly recommend this firm for any family law matters.”
PW, Lanchester
Family Law
“Carole Middleton, at Freeman Johnson, was recommended to me by another solicitor when the mediation divorce process that we’d signed up to broke down. It seemed like an insurmountable hurdle having to start all over again with a new person but Carole made the transfer very easy for me. Her empathy (and downright sympathy at times) was second to none and her expertise at guiding me through far too many months of anxiety by explaining everything with great patience is something that will remain with me forever. I always felt, implicitly, that she was doing her absolute best for me and the outcome was very positive. She had to deal with a very intransigent husband but clearly had the skills to do so! If any friend found themselves in need of a good solicitor with great “family law” skills I’d have no hesitation in recommending Carole – I’ve sung her praises many times.”
TB, Darlington

“Hannah has been absolutely marvellous throughout. Rarely in life have I felt to be so well looked after, and to have such complete trust in someone. Quietly confident, friendly and a consummate professional.”
LT, Darlington

“Eleanor has been professional, personable and approachable from the start. The service I have received has provided much needed comfort during such a difficult period of my life. To know I have the support of Eleanor and the Freeman Johnson team has eased this difficult process whilst I have been under extreme stress…Eleanor’s support and advice has been much appreciated throughout this process. Thank you for your understanding, kindness, professionalism and knowledge.”
JH, Darlington

“Eleanor helped me to meet my little girl and I’ll always be grateful.”
LW, Darlington
Wills & Probate
“My Solicitor, Sarah Hall, and her Secretary, Eleanor Cullen, have both been very effective in keeping me updated on progress with my case. They have shown compassion and understanding throughout what has been a difficult period. I have been very impressed with their services and, most of all, their support. I would highly recommend to a friend.”
