Dahlman, Terry

I grew up in the small town of Metuchen, New Jersey but have been a Floridian since attending the University of Florida, both for my undergraduate degree and then for my juris doctorate degree in law school.

My legal career began in Tampa as a Hillsborough County Assistant State Attorney. While there, I prosecuted hundreds of criminal cases on behalf of the State of Florida. Wanting my legal practice to be based in the community in which I lived I became associated with a well respected St. Petersburg personal injury law firm where I developed civil trial skills representing only those who were injured through the fault of another.

Since 1983 I have represented only the plaintiffs in personal injury and wrongful death claims including motor vehicle, motorcycle, commercial trucking, pedestrian, bicycle and moped accidents. These kinds of cases often involve uninsured motorist claims and other types of insurance disputes. My personal injury practice also includes premises liability cases.

In 1991 I joined my husband Steve to form Freeman & Freeman where I have continued to concentrate my practice exclusively in the field of personal injury and wrongful death claims and litigation.

I am a member of the Florida Bar, St. Petersburg Bar Association and the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers. I am admitted to practice before all Florida State Courts.

I am married to my law partner and we have 2 children, ages 19 and 15.
