About Mark T.
Mark T. Freeman built his path into law through steady preparation and a traditional academic route. He earned a B.A. from Vanderbilt University in 1990 and completed his J.D. at the University of Tennessee College of Law in 1993. Those years set the stage for a courtroom-focused career.
After law school he entered legal practice and eventually joined Freeman & Fuson. Over time he concentrated on civil litigation. His credential as a Board Certified Civil Trial Specialist signals an emphasis on trial work rather than transactional matters. He is admitted to practice in Tennessee and in the federal courts, and he has handled cases at both levels.
Freeman’s work centers on contested civil matters. He tries cases, argues motions and prepares clients for the realities of litigation. He appears in state trial courts and in federal venues. His certification from the appropriate board indicates specific training and experience in jury and bench trials. That credential is not given lightly; it requires demonstration of courtroom experience and peer review.
Colleagues and opponents know him for a direct courtroom style. He favors clarity over theatricality. In written filings he aims for precise statements of fact and law. In oral argument he concentrates on the points most likely to persuade a judge or jury. Those are practical habits earned in the course of repeated courtroom appearances.
Outside the courtroom he maintains professional ties within Tennessee. He holds membership in the Tennessee Bar Association, which keeps him connected to changes in state law and procedural practice. Association involvement also provides a forum for discussion about trial practice and case law developments.
Freeman & Fuson remains his base of operations. At that firm he handles matters that require trial experience and an understanding of both state and federal procedure. He manages the litigation lifecycle from investigation and pleadings through dispositive motion practice and trial. He also guides clients through settlement decisions when resolution without trial is a sensible option.
His legal education and board certification shape his approach. He prepares cases with trial readiness in mind. He files the motions that need to be filed and presents the witnesses that need to be heard. He currently practices at Freeman & Fuson, where his work focuses on civil litigation in Tennessee and in federal courts.
