Has the government just decided to ruin your life ?

Lawrence cared enough about me to make sure mine wasn't ruined. Lawrence agreed to a retainer and took it, and as the prosecution acted like monkeys trying to screw a football adding and subtracting charges and making threats and promises, Lawrence held his cards close to his chest, and he had me wai...t them out with them. In the end, was it the just or right outcome ? I don't feel it was, but you know who determined that outcome: the government and myself. Lawrence will go all the way for you, other attorneys want play graba$$ with each other. Lawrence maintains professional relationships, is well connected but he keeps one thing #1- the client, the client, the client. A valuable piece of property was kept as evidence, my dad rode my behind in order to get it, and wanted me to go after it like a bulldog after a bone. Several years after all was said and done, Lawrence did the leg work and he got that piece of property for me. In the entire time I had any interaction with the government(LE, perse... excuse me: prosecution, investigators) I had one pleasant interaction: When they breathed a sigh of relief Lawrence wasn't going to bring down a roof over their head because they hadn't followed their own procedure and destroyed that piece of property. I got it back. It was something my dad gave me, it is now worth 2x to 3x what it first cost, and is worth more as that was back when my dad could still had respect for me as a human being. All through everything Lawrence would shake his head and ask me how I got into the mess, but he wasn't doing it judgmentally, he just hated how the government was treating me and thinking of a strategy to best defend me. LJZ was there for me. I am a terrible person to get along with but LZ put up with me, saw me as a human being and not a thug, and tried to do his best to check for my wellbeing and my future. That is what attorneys used to do. A lawyer files briefs and argues. An attorney is your trainer, cut-man, and advisor in a brutal fight, he cares about the win but also the fighter. Make no mistake, LZ can take apart a prosecutor in the courtroom, but figuratively speaking he isn't afraid to get down in the parking lot if it comes to it. That includes anyone on opposing counsel. Thanks for what you did for me LZ.

In the midst of our nightmare, Mr. Zimmerman stepped in

The unthinkable happened---our son was arrested and faced serious felony charges. We were not from the Atlanta area, so we asked an attorney for his recommendation: Lawrence Zimmerman! From our initial consultation-- throughout months of investigation, research and legal persistence,--thro...ugh some intense moments in court when a plea deal was finalized---our attorney gave full personal attention to the case and to my son. Zimmerman used his vast legal knowledge and comprehensive legal team to cover all bases and achieve results. Along every step of the way, he communicated with us, and he spent time getting to know his client. My son--our family-- has the greatest respect for Mr. Zimmerman. We cannot thank Lawrence Zimmerman enough for his expertise, diligence, attention to detail, professionalism, and all the other attributes that make him such an outstanding attorney. HIs kindness and compassion during our ordeal speaks to the fact he cares about his clients and their futures.

I'll never look for another criminal defense lawyer.

Lawrence came highly recommended and now I see why. He is clearly an accomplished and talented veteran in his field and genuinely personable as well. He put us at ease immediately, quickly understood the situation, and took immediate action. He helped our family through a precarious situation wh...en a serious sexual accusation was made against our teenage child. We highly recommend him.

He gets results

My experience with Lawrence was a great one from start to finish over the course of a few years. He worked out a completely fair plea deal, even better than I expected. His fee was fair too and he never asked me for more money even when the number of court dates seemed endless.

Thank You Mr Zimmerman

I first hired Lawrence Zimmerman when I was referred to him by another lawyer who was  busy in a trial. Boy, am I glad I got him. First of all, I was on probation for something I did ten years ago when I was a much different person. I made some bad decisions in life, but over the past 7 years, I was ...able to start working, stay sober and focus on positive things. Unfortunately, I failed to show up for felony probation in Cobb County. So, for many years, I have been hiding, worrying, not driving because I knew I would be arrested and thrown in jail.  Before Mr. Zimmerman, I had another lawyer who promised me the moon, and he supposedly was a good lawyer. Let me tell you, he was not a good lawyer; Mr. Zimmerman is a great lawyer. He didn't promise me anything but hard work I met with him after firing my other lawyer, and he came up with a strong game plan. It took several months until we were able to be successful, but he met with the DA and was able to get them to agree to allow me to walk into the courtroom, not be arrested for being a fugitive and close my case. No more probation! I can't tell you how grateful I am to him. I have my life back! I can move forward. He and his staff are awesome. He is a top notch lawyer in Georgia.
