Speaking Truth to Power. Giving Power to Truth
Courtrooms are human institutions. And when parochial interests threaten the principles of justice, clients need articulate, forceful advocacy. Clients need advocates with courage and the fortitude to push through the most difficult challenges.
The Right Litigation Model
Our Collin County lawyers were built to take on anything—from the largest law firms to the Department of Justice. And we are rewriting the odds in complex, high-stakes litigation one case at a time. We leverage technological advances; eschew wasteful staffing; and employ collaborative, end-result-driven litigation systems that avoid knowledge segregation and enhance ideation.
Our Collin County lawyers are a paradigm shift—a change in the historic litigation model. The new reality is that the trial boutique model simply outperforms the large-firm approach. The ability to scale trial preparation has never been greater. Intelligently designed law firm models can not only go up against the largest firms and parties, but they can also—and should—win. Indeed, the boutique model offers advantages that larger firm models simply can’t match.
Authentic
Our Collin County lawyers pledge transparency and authenticity, bringing candid, pull-no-punches trial strategies that home-in on the issues that matter.

Any Time, any Place
Our Collin County lawyers eschew a siloed-specialist focus; rather, we employ a cross-functional, integrated multi-disciplinary and team approach to the practice of law and litigation. Siloed, narrowly focused attorneys inevitably view client’s disputes through an every-problem-is-a-nail framework, missing the forest for the trees. We cultivate judgment and an appreciation for the bigger picture. After all, litigation, though at times necessary, is a means to an end.

Civil Rico
Freeman Law’s Collin County lawyers represents clients in suits under "RICO"—the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, as codified in Title IX of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970. Originally enacted to target organized crime, RICO provides for a civil cause of action—and annual civil RICO actions far exceed criminal RICO actions.
RICO claims for “racketeering” carry the threat of treble damages and attorney's fees. Under RICO, a plaintiff may have a claim against a person who has engaged in a pattern of criminal conduct (e.g., fraud, extortion). RICO prohibits several categories of conduct, including providing a statutory cause of action against:
- Investing any income derived from a pattern of racketeering activity in an enterprise. 18 U.S.C. § 1962(a).
- Using a pattern of racketeering activity to acquire or maintain control over an enterprise. 18 U.S.C. § 1962(b).
- Conducting the affairs of an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity. 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c).
- Conspiring to violate one or more of the substantive RICO provisions. 18 U.S.C. § 1962(d).
Our firm is uniquely versed in civil Rico lawsuits and well-positioned to undertake the investigative efforts necessary to bring and maintain a civil RICO action. We have a depth of knowledge and experience regarding the complex elements of a civil RICO suit.
