David Bruce Freedman

My deepest condolences to Mr. Freeman´s family. He was an amazing person. He inspired me to further my education and I hope to one day fulfill my dream of becoming an attorney. Although he will not be able to physically mentor me his spirit does live on in the many lives he touched. He made me want to be better. I never knew such a honest and compassionate attorney who really cared about the people.

I am also 64 years old, and David and I "came to the Bar [as attorneys]" at about the same time, and I know him from around that time, 1983 or so -- first, playing basketball with him when we were young lawyers. His great sense of humor back then was manifest by his commenting how his new real-life practice of law was less scary than law school, "because the judge could not give me a `D.´" Although most of my legal career has been in Raleigh, I have had many cases in Winston-Salem,...

My condolences to David's family. I was saddened to hear of David's death just yesterday. I first met David around 1994 as a law enforcement officer working in Winston-Salem. David represented a few people who were defendants in my investigations in federal court and despite being on the, "other side", I appreciated that David always acted in a professional and fair manner. David embraced the idea that all people are presumed innocent until proven guilty and aggressively advocated for...

I am saddened to hear of David's passing. I interned at White and Crumpler in 1994. David took me to Federal Court and got me sworn in as an attorney. He was a mentor, a role model and a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Thinking of the family during this difficult time. Prayers being lifted

This is very hard news to hear. David was my trial ad professor at Wake in the early 1990's, and he has been a friend and colleague since. Although we didn't see or speak to each other as often as I'd like over the past few years, I knew whenever he and I would talk that I could count on a question about our Tar Heels. David was a good and decent man, and needless to say, one of the most skilled and respected members of our bar. He will be sorely missed.

I want to offer my condolences to his legal team and to his family! Mr. Freedman was a great man in conversation and legal assistance. I will keep his family in my prayers.

Libby, I´m so sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It´s so sad - take one day at a time and lean on your family and friends.

I was fortunate enough to work as a legal assistant in the law office with David for about 10 years from the time he was hired after his graduation from law school. David had an infectious laugh but his empathy for the situations of his clients was unmistakable. He was also a wonderful husband and an engaging father. He was definitely a bright light in the legal community and he will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and children and also to the members of his law...
