About James C.
James C. Freeman is an attorney whose path into the law runs through Pace University's Elisabeth Haub School of Law, where he earned his J.D. in 1990. He began his legal career after that formative year, building experience in New York and Connecticut courts. The law school training set the stage for a practice grounded in courtroom procedure and client counseling.
His professional resume lists of counsel positions at two established local firms. Freeman has served of counsel at the Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC and at The Law Offices of Andrew J. Gilbride. Those roles have kept him involved in case preparation, legal research, and advising trial teams.
Freeman is admitted to practice in New York and Connecticut, and he is also admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Those admissions allow him to appear in both state and federal forums. Over the years he has handled filings and appearances across those jurisdictions.
He maintains memberships in several bar organizations that reflect his regional practice. He belongs to the Westchester County Bar Association, the New York State Bar and the Connecticut State Bar. He is also a member of the American Bar Association and the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, which connect him to peers across practice areas.
Colleagues describe him as a steady presence in the office. As an of counsel attorney, Freeman often works on matters that benefit from experienced review and pragmatic legal advice. His work supports trial teams and solo practitioners alike, helping to shape pleadings and strategy without serving as lead trial counsel.
Freeman’s day-to-day practice is anchored at the Law Offices of Thomas L. Gallivan, PLLC, where he maintains an office and consults on cases referred to him. He also continues his association with The Law Offices of Andrew J. Gilbride, offering counsel on an as-needed basis. His practice involves coordinating with clients and other lawyers to move matters forward.
He currently practices as of counsel, providing legal counsel and case support through the firms where he serves.
