Freeman Johnson
Average review score : 4.2
With roots reaching back to 1890, we have been part of life in County Durham and North Yorkshire for more than 150 years. From our offices in Darlington, Durham, Northallerton and Middlesbrough, we look after individuals, families and businesses across the North East, and that long heritage has made us a genuine fixture of the communities we serve.
Our approach combines the latest technology and information systems with first-class legal expertise and old-fashioned friendliness. You will always have access to specialist solicitors, either in-house or through the local connections we have built over generations, and we are proud to hold Lexcel accreditation from the Law Society alongside the Conveyancing Quality Scheme and advanced accreditations in family and children law. We are a partner-led firm that invests in growing its own talent, and our clients tell us they value the warmth and straight-talking as much as the results.
