Representation in Iowa bicycle accident cases

Jim Freeman first became involved in legal representation of bicyclists when a friend was struck by a car during a group ride in 2006. She sustained a head injury and couldn’t recall the details of the collision. The insurance company initially denied the claim suggesting that the bicyclist had simply darted in front of the car. Jim investigated the accident and through witness interviews he determined what really happened. Eventually he was able to help his friend get compensation for her injuries.
Since then Jim built his client base through word of mouth among cyclists who knew him as a fellow commuter, bike racer, and touring cyclist.

Freeman Kevenides Law Firm, LLC

He is the founding partner of Freeman Kevenides Law Firm, LLC, a personal injury practice dedicated to helping bicyclists throughout the Midwest.  The firm was started in Chicago, but they now have two offices spanning three states. 

Jim offices in Fairfield, Iowa (because that's where Jim lives).

All members of the FK Law team are cyclists who participate in the local bicycling community by donating time and finances to groups that promote cycling and improve conditions for bicyclists.

They also attend group rides, sponsor racing teams, and frequently commute to work by bicycle.

Known as “Lawyer Jim,” he believes that immersing himself in his hobby for a living is his favorite thing about practicing law. For many years, Jim has volunteered and worked with local bicycle advocacy organizations educating people about their rights and responsibilities.
Jim gives regular "legal cycling" presentations to bike clubs throughout the Midwest in an effort to educate cyclists about safety issues and how to handle collisions, assaults and accidents.

Professional Experience

Jim has over two decades of experience working for and against insurance companies. This experience gives him a tactical advantage over both the insurance companies and their defense attorneys.
Jim is a member of the Iowa State Bar Association, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the Chicago Bar Association, and the Illinois State Bar Association.  He is also a lifetime member of Adventure Cycling. 


Biking Background

Jim began bicycling like most other people, as a kid in grammar school. When he was in fourth grade he surprised himself and his family by riding 50 miles for a charity fund raising event.  As an adult, Lawyer Jim enjoys touring, racing and mechanics. In 2006 he rode from Chicago to Montreal with the Continental Pedal. Lawyer Jim took first fixed, second overall in the 2007 Tour Da Chicago alleycat series. Jim also has many years of experience as a bicycle mechanic. True to his passion, Jim still enjoys "turning a wrench" in the shop on occasion.
These days Jim rides bikes for utility and recreation.  He spends a lot of time riding with his kids and exploring the gravel of Jefferson County, Iowa.  Jim is always up for a ride, so if you have a good ride that just can’t be missed send Jim an invitation.
