Rachel Freeman

Attorney at law

I became a lawyer after a dear friend asked me to volunteer with CASA.


As a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer in the courtroom I began to learn about issues surrounding children and families that I hadn’t known before. Through the attorney ad litem I found family law, which demands compassion and respect for children and families as they experience very difficult times. As I learned more about dependency/neglect cases, I quickly realized that this area needed more support, particularly with attorney ad litem services. I was fortunate to watch and learn from her, which resulted in my journey of becoming an attorney. 

I deeply understand the need to serve the children and families in this area - my community - where I have invested my own children and family. It will be a joy to continue to serve that community.

Areas of service:

  • Board of Directors for CASA of North Arkansas (present)

  • Chair of the Board, Community Legal Access (June 2018-present)

  • Pro Bono Coordinator, Centers for Arkansas Legal Services (Aug 2016 - June 2017)
