Incredibly happy with the outcome.

I am very happy with having hired Mr Zimmerman. I had a complex case that he was able to negotiate pre trial to a plea that I could not have imagined. Everyone's case is different but he was able to consistently keep me abreast of the communication between him and the prosecutor. That being said, be...ing able to have a professional relationship with the Prosecutor's Office instead of adversarial one speaks to his ability to reach the most favorable outcome to his clients. He was able to make a payment scheduled that truly worked with my budget which was a huge relief. Given the personal stress I was under I almost took a plea that was night and day to what was finally down on paper. He counseled me and I am glad I took his advice. He understood the pressure I was under and cooled me down from accepting a bad offer. After you hire him, listen to his expert opinion. You are not fighting the State alone. Email was the most efficient way to keep in touch. He will make time for you.

Thank you! It was a huge and well known case that was resolved without any fanfare and you now don't have anything on your record. It was an honor and a privilege to represent you. I wish you the best in life!

A Legal Savior

Only a few months out from graduating from college, fathering a newborn, and gaining full- time employment, I was arrested and charged with two serious felony charges along with a misdemeanor. My mother reached out to Attorney Zimmerman while I was incarcerated (which was over a weekend) and he was a...ble to calm her. Upon my release, she let me know this was the ONLY attorney who she had reached that weekend who not only gave her advice but called back to check on my welfare. Once meeting Mr. Zimmerman, we sat down one on one and I explained to him what happened and he explained the every possible outcome: good, bad and ugly. From day one he let me know each step he would take and let me know exactly what I needed to be doing in the meanwhile. When Plan A didn’t work, I already knew Plan B. Even when I was frustrated at my own situation and the process, Mr. Zimmerman was only a text, call, or e-mail away and always responded, EVEN ON VACATION. Facing 16 years in state prison, Mr. Zimmerman was able to get me a first offender probation sentence, in which my record should be cleared in only a year. I was able to keep my job and my good name. While I can’t guarantee that for your situation, I can guarantee Mr. Zimmerman will work his hardest for you, be receptive to your needs and specific situation, and keep you informed every step along the way and fight zealously to get you the best disposition possible.

Best Lawyer. Super Pro Active

Lawrence Zimmerman is the best attorney out there in Atlanta. I was being investigated for rape. This was definitely the worst period I’ve been through so far in my life. My entire future was in jeopardy. The police gave me a call and they wanted to talk to me regarding a false rape accusation. Afte...r personally meeting with some of the top lawyers in the area and doing good amount of research I decided to go with Lawrence and investigator JT Summers of spearhead investigations. Lawrence is proactive not reactive. He started on the case the day I met him because time was of the essence. They gathered every piece of evidence that was out there as soon as possible and used it perfectly. Rape accusations are hard to get out of but Lawrence was able to saved me and my future. He is not only a technically smart great lawyer but has the foresight for all the things that could go wrong. I am grateful for all he and investigator summers did and for handling my case absolutely perfectly. I very highly recommend him.

Thank you! I know you are relieved and when we met Christmas morning you were very scared. I am glad we were able to prove these allegations false and avoid any arrest.

Great Lawyer!

Lawrence was referred to me by a friend. My charge was small but it could have affected my carrier. After explaining my situation, I felt that he understood and was motivated to help. He was easy to reach anytime I had a question. Throughout the process, I could tell that he knows his industry. He ...got me the result I needed and I felt he worked hard to do so. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone facing criminal charges.

Great guy, Incredible Lawyer

Lawrence worked very well with the DA, doctors, counselors, and myself to find a resolution that would actually improve my life in the long haul ! Though he is busy, he ALWAYS would help me with whatever was going on and even called me late at night on several occasions when I felt it was necessary ...(many times it was just my fear reaching out). His office staff was great and other professionals he recommended were top notch, too. My re-united family and I both feel so lucky that my wife was able to find Lawrence in a dark time for us. Although I hope to never have to use him again, Lawrence will always be on my speed dial.
