REPRESENTATION DISCLOSURE. Freeman Law represents both individuals and businesses across civil litigation, tax controversy, and white-collar defense matters, and its litigation practice is not limited to one side of a dispute. This is standard practice for a full-service litigation and controversy boutique and is disclosed here directly, consistent with Awesome Attorneys’ editorial policy for adversarial, non-personal-injury practice areas.

Freeman Law: The Dallas Business Litigation Attorney Firm Founded by a Law Professor Who Takes on the DOJ

Freeman Law is a Dallas business litigation attorney boutique founded by a dual-credentialed attorney-CPA who teaches federal tax law at SMU — a firm where, by its own count, nearly a third of the attorneys also hold law-school faculty appointments.

Origin: An Attorney-CPA Who Also Teaches the Law

Jason B. Freeman is dual-credentialed as both an attorney and a Certified Public Accountant, holding a Doctorate of Jurisprudence along with graduate degrees in accounting. He worked closely with attorney Chuck Meadows — of Meadows Collier, also profiled on this site in the Estate Planning & Probate category — before founding his own practice. Freeman serves on the law school faculty at SMU’s Dedman School of Law, teaching a course in federal income taxation, and has built a firm where, per its own description, nearly one-third of attorneys hold similar faculty appointments at tier-one law schools — a genuinely unusual concentration of academic credentials for a litigation boutique.

Freeman’s own institutional leadership record runs through the accounting profession as much as the legal one: he served as Chairman of the Texas Society of CPAs (TXCPA) for 2021–2022, past Chairman of the Board of Directors for TXCPA-Dallas, and past President of the North Texas chapter of the American Academy of Attorney-CPAs — leadership roles across an entire statewide professional body, not just a local bar section.

Where the Firm Concentrates

The firm’s litigation practice spans business litigation, complex civil disputes, federal and state tax controversy, white-collar criminal and civil defense, forensic accounting and investigations, blockchain and cryptocurrency litigation, computer intrusion and cyber litigation, and probate, trust, and fiduciary litigation. The firm markets itself explicitly as willing to take on the Department of Justice directly — a positioning distinct from firms that primarily handle business-to-business commercial disputes without a regulatory or government-facing dimension. As the disclosure above notes, the firm represents both plaintiffs and defendants, and both individuals and businesses, across its various litigation practices. Readers comparing options can see how this profile fits alongside other Business & Corporate Litigation attorneys covered on Awesome Attorneys.

Notable Work

Freeman’s documented litigation record includes serving as trial counsel in a criminal tax evasion and conspiracy jury trial in the Federal District Court for the United States Virgin Islands, arguing the constitutionality of the FAST Act’s passport-revocation provisions before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the firm’s own reporting of having filed a civil RICO lawsuit seeking millions in damages. These results are attributed to the firm’s own reporting and Chambers & Partners’ independent ranking coverage; as with any litigation result, outcomes are case-specific and past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.

Client Voice

The firm’s published client reviews are attributed, with several citing complex, high-stress matters:

“Without the help of the entire Freeman Law firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Jason Freeman took on a difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen.” — client review, Martindale-Hubbell

“My dad is a financial advisor and recommended Jason Freeman when I needed help with an IRS audit. In fact, my dad continually refers clients to Freeman Law because Jason is such a trustworthy, kind, and professional individual.” — client review, FindLaw

These are drawn from the firm’s public review pages on Martindale-Hubbell and FindLaw; Awesome Attorneys did not independently verify reviewer identities, a standard limitation across attorney review platforms.

Beyond the Courtroom

Freeman’s community and professional involvement centers on the accounting and tax bar specifically: beyond his TXCPA chairmanship, he has served on the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Tax Legislation and Policy Committee and the State Bar of Texas’s Committee on Government Submissions as Vice-Chairman. His pro bono record includes volunteer work with the YMCA and membership in the Dallas Museum of Arts Junior Associates. He is also a regular Forbes contributor on tax and white-collar matters — public-facing writing distinct from firm marketing content.

Recognition

The strongest credentials here are Chambers & Partners’ ranking of Freeman among leading tax and litigation attorneys — a methodology built on extensive client and peer interviews and widely regarded as one of the more rigorous processes in legal recognition — and his inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America, also peer-review-based. His American Bar Association “On the Rise – Top 40 Young Lawyers” award and Super Lawyers “Top 100 Up-and-Coming Attorney in Texas” recognition are similarly peer-nomination-driven. By contrast, his “Leading Tax Controversy Litigation Attorney of the Year” designation from Acquisition International (2019, 2020) is an industry-publication award rather than a peer-juried process comparable to Chambers or Best Lawyers — a real recognition, but a different tier of credential.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Readers considering Texas business litigation or tax controversy matters should understand a few structural rules, presented as general information and not legal advice. Breach of contract claims in Texas generally carry a four-year statute of limitations (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.004). Federal tax controversies — a core part of this firm’s practice — follow separate federal procedural rules and deadlines entirely distinct from Texas state court timelines, including strict statutory windows for challenging IRS determinations in U.S. Tax Court. White-collar criminal matters in Texas may proceed in either state or federal court depending on the specific statute alleged to have been violated, with correspondingly different procedural rules. Texas also has a specialized Business Court, created by recent legislation, that now handles certain complex commercial disputes above a jurisdictional threshold, relevant to sophisticated business litigation specifically.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Freeman Law’s differentiator is a genuinely unusual academic-practitioner hybrid: a founder who teaches tax law at SMU while trying federal criminal tax cases, backed by a firm where a substantial share of attorneys hold similar faculty credentials. For a business facing a matter that combines litigation with a genuine tax, white-collar, or regulatory dimension — an IRS dispute tangled up with a business fraud claim, for example — that combination of academic depth and trial experience is a real differentiator from a firm that handles only garden-variety contract disputes.

The honest trade-off is fit: Freeman Law’s strongest, most independently verified track record runs through tax controversy and white-collar defense specifically, rather than general commercial contract or shareholder disputes without a tax or regulatory dimension. A business with a purely commercial dispute — a straightforward breach of contract or partnership disagreement with no tax or white-collar angle — should confirm directly whether this firm’s specific strengths match their matter, or whether a firm with a more general commercial litigation track record might be a better fit.
