Firm News

The 5th Annual Melissa Edwards 5K Run/Walk was held this past Saturday, April 27th.

Freeburn & Law founder and personal injury lawyer Richard E. Freeburn was among nearly 200 people who participated in the 5th Annual Melissa Edwards 5K Run/Walk.

Freeburn Law was also a sponsor of the event, which raised more than $10,000 for the Womelsdorf Community Library.

The event honors Melissa Edwards, who died in a car accident in 2008 when she was a 17-year-old junior at Conrad Weiser High School. Freeburn Law was privileged to represent the Edwards family.

More people participated in this year’s Melissa Edwards 5K Run/Walk than ever before, said Bruce Edwards, Melissa’s father.

At 70yrs. of age, I have never been in a car accident, nor have I ever had a moving violation! So, needless to say, that the trauma of being involved in an accident that I did not cause, where my car, (which was only 6mos. old) was totaled!) and I received 2 broken bones in my left ankle that warrented surgery…was nothing short of devastating! It’s been 9mos. and I’m still healing! But while I was in the ER, the only injury attorney’s name and number that came to my mind was Freeburn and the 7’s! Well, in came Ryan McDaniels, and ever since that initial encounter at my home, I was thoroughly convinced that the Lord had orchestrated it! This young man’s demeanor, personality, and integrity was awesome! He kept me well informed and I trusted him emphatically! Not only him, but everyone in their office, showed me the utmost respect and courtesies! I would, without any reservations, refer anyone who asked me, to this firm! They made for me a wonderful experience from the most devastatingly, traumatic situation I’ve ever had! Definitely 2 thumbs up!
