I got in a car accident a few months back and was a front end collision. I repaired the car myself and had to replace the condenser. Replaced it and filled the system with Freon. Still no A/C.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Do you have gauges which indicate high and low side pressure to confirm there isn't still a leak? Static pressure? Also, does the compressor engage? Take a look through this link and let me know if it helps. Also, the second link explains how to evacuate and recharge the system. Make sure you did it the way it's described. It also shows how gauges are used.

Let me know if this helps and the answers to the questions.

Take care,
Joe
