Founded originally as a socialist commune, hence the name Freeland, this census-designated place was thought to be a free place for anyone who wished to go there. Located on Whidbey Island, Freeland calls itself a “beautiful place to live and work.” Freeland is a beautiful place to live because it is surrounded by two magnificent bodies of water, and a great place to work because it is becoming a strong economic center. Freeland is also the place where the Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, notable for building the Navy’s X-boat, have their primary business.

When you are in need of legal services on Whidbey Island, there are many Freeland lawyers available to assist you in your lawsuit. These skilled attorneys are able to represent you in many legal matters including business transactions, estate planning, intellectual property procurement, personal injury suits, and many others.

In a recently filed lawsuit, a Freeland man questioned the Federal Government’s rule regarding Social Security benefits being tied to Medicare. The Freeland man opted out of Medicare because he had adequate health insurance, a good relation with his primary care provider, and wished to save the general public some taxpayer dollars. However, by opting out of Medicare, the man is no longer eligible to receive Social Security benefits. The lawsuit challenges the passing of the rule because it was not placed on the Federal registry, was not open to public comment, and thus was promulgated in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.

Freeland is served by the Island County Superior Court which is located in nearby Coupeville. This court hears all felony criminal matters and civil matters for more than $50,000. If you are required to report to this court for your case, having an experienced local Freeland attorney would be a great benefit to you.
