About Derek
Derek Freeman built a steady legal path that began in the classroom and moved quickly into practice. He earned a B.A. from Brigham Young University in 1999, completed an M.A. at the University of Kansas in 2004 and received his J.D. from the University of Colorado - Boulder in 2010. That academic trajectory framed the start of a professional life spent inside law offices and courtrooms.
He entered practice immediately after law school. In 2010 he worked at Hassler Law Office, LLC, where he handled client matters and learned the routines of a small firm. The following year he joined Diane Bross, PC as a lawyer. Those early years offered hands-on experience in case preparation, client advising and courtroom procedure. Colleagues from that period recall a lawyer who preferred clear writing and practical solutions.
In 2013 Freeman stepped into a leadership role at Freeman Law Group, LLC as principal. The record lists him in that position beginning that year. Running a firm shifted the balance of his work. He moved from single-case tasks to managing office workflow, supervising support staff and setting the firm’s daily priorities. It also meant taking on responsibility for client intake and strategy at an organizational level rather than as an individual associate.
Freeman’s professional affiliations reflect a steady engagement with the Colorado legal community. He has been a member of the Colorado Bar Association since 2013. He is also a member of the El Paso County Bar Association, a membership that likewise dates to 2013. Those memberships connect him to continuing education offerings, local bar events and the professional network of lawyers across the state.
Peers describe Freeman as pragmatic in approach. He favors plain language in client letters and aims for clarity in court filings. His work habits show a preference for structure: firm calendars, checklists and careful case files. He balances casework with the administrative demands of running a small firm, a combination that requires both legal attention and business oversight.
Today he practices through Freeman Law Group, LLC. He handles client matters from that office and participates in the local bar associations that have been part of his professional life for more than a decade. His current practice focuses on delivering legal representation and counsel through Freeman Law Group, LLC.
