History:
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z HC Vol. 4 - Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Book entry - BTS) - Emilee Freeman became the manager of Freeman Bonding, Inc., a subsidiary of the Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg and Book law offices and the only bonding agency specializing in posting bail for supervillains. Despite the heroic She-Hulk's known record for property damage and destruction, Freeman continually hired She-Hulk as a bond agent.

(She-Hulk II#24) - Emilee Freeman was in a conference when She-Hulk arrived at Freeman Bonding to pick up her commission for her most recent bounty hunting job. Her assistant, Cecil Pierce, informed an unidentified doctor on the phone that Mrs. Freeman was in a conference and She-Hulk quickly grew impatient with Pierce. After sarcastically following Pierce's orders to "park it" in the corner by literally parking her motorcycle in the corner of the office, Mrs. Freeman exited her conference to see what the commotion was, only to see She-Hulk. Asking if She-Hulk was capable of being in any place for longer than thirty seconds without causing property damage, Emilee Freeman assured She-Hulk the damage would be coming out of her next commission before leading She-Hulk back to her office, noting that there was someone there who was dying to meet She-Hulk. Upon arrival, Freeman introduced She-Hulk to Mr. Park from Providence Insurance, who questioned She-Hulk on her recent property damage to the Mall of America during a battle with the Absorbing Man. Park then admitted that he considered She-Hulk a loose cannon and that he had informed Mrs. Freeman of his recommendation that Providence Insurance terminate their coverage for Freeman Bonding, Inc. unless Freeman ceased utilizing She-Hulk as a bond agent. Freeman quickly assured She-Hulk that she had refused to terminate her association with She-Hulk and suggested Park could tell his superiors that. With that, Park bid Freeman and She-Hulk a good day and departed, leaving the two to discuss matters. Freeman quickly told She-Hulk not to worry about things and when She-Hulk mentioned her possible resignation, Freeman reminded She-Hulk that she was freelance and had no staff job with Freeman to resign from. Freeman then noted that she could simply stop hiring She-Hulk but remarked that she was not going to be doing that before giving She-Hulk her commission. Repeating that She-Hulk need not worry about things, Freeman closed the door and sighed.

(She-Hulk II#34 (fb) - BTS) - Emilee Freeman learned from her sources that She-Hulk had joined a supergroup called the Lady Liberators.

(She-Hulk II#34) - She-Hulk visited Emilee's office, where Emilee informed She-Hulk that she didn't have any jobs for her at the moment. She-Hulk protested, reminding Emilee that she had bills to pay too, but Emilee claimed she couldn't help it if all of their bonded clients were showing up to court. When Emilee commented that she was surprised She-Hulk still had time for Freeman Bonding, She-Hulk questioned what the comment was supposed to mean, at which point Emilee mentioned how she had heard that She-Hulk had joined a new superteam called the Lady Liberators. Commenting on the name of the group, sarcastically noting that people could tell the group's genders by looking at the them, Emilee followed up by asking what exactly the group was liberating. When She-Hulk replied that she hadn't though up a mission statement, Emilee suggested that perhaps she should and remarked that she would call She-Hulk if a new job came up. Thanking Emilee, She-Hulk left Freeman Bonding and thought to herself how Emilee had a point.

(She-Hulk II#37 (fb)) - Emilee Freeman phoned She-Hulk to inform her a bond job tracking down a criminal called Femme Fatale that had skipped bail. She-Hulk's bond agent partner Jazinda answered the phone, claiming to be She-Hulk, and Emilee quickly noticed the change in voice. When Emilee asked if "She-Hulk" was alright, Jazinda shapeshifted into She-Hulk's form, changing her voice to match She-Hulk's, and Emilee was sufficiently fooled. Emilee then said she would email a file over to her and welcomed "She-Hulk" back to Freeman Bonding. The real She-Hulk later phoned Jazinda and informed her that Mallory Book intended to hire her back at Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg and Book, at which point Jazinda asked if she needed to tell Emilee Freeman that they were no longer in the skip tracer business. When She-Hulk admitted she hadn't even thought of that, Jazinda assured She-Hulk she would take care of Emilee Freeman and suggested She-Hulk not worry about it, as Jazinda had bounty hunter experience long before meeting She-Hulk.

    We never hear of or see Emilee Freeman's spouse but she is referred to as MRS. Freeman in She-Hulk II#24, which means she is indeed married.

    Pretty sure Cecil Pierce is based on a series of snooty, sarcastic characters played by comedian David Spade throughout his careers.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Emilee Freeman should be distinguished from:

Cecil Pierce

Cecil Pierce was the receptionist at Freeman Bonding, Inc. He was known for being a bit snooty, often having to be sarcastic or cynical when talking with the supervillain clients of Freeman Bonding. During one day at the office, Pierce was on the phone with a villainous doctor, insisting that Emilee Freeman was in a conference, when She-Hulk arrived to pick up her commission. Trying to handle too many things at once, Pierce sarcastically told She-Hulk to "park it" in the corner and she took his advice literally, parking her motorcycle in the corner of the room. An exasperated Pierce argued with She-Hulk until Emilee arrived, having heard the commotion.

Pierce's first name was revealed in the Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Book entry in OHotMU A to Z HC Vol. 4.
