Outstanding Lawyer

I am a summer camp counselor and a child bit me and at first she said she bit me because she lost the game. Then the camp got a call from her mother saying that I touched her inappropriately. I had a meeting with DFCS and I didn't hear any news of the case until a month later until two detectives s...howed up at my front door asking for my side of the story. My family and I decided to get a lawyer before talking to the detectives. Thats when we had a meeting with Lawrence Zimmerman and JT Summers. I told them my story and they both believed me immediately. When the meeting was over I knew I was in great hands. JT was the investigator and he got all of the details from everyone and he was excellent. Lawrence decided I should take a Polygraph test just in case. I took the Polygraph test and I passed. Lawrence talked to the detectives to find out if they are arresting me or just want to talk. He decided that we should have the meeting with the police. The day before the meeting JT and Lawrence asked me questions just how the detectives would so I am prepared. I had a meeting with the detective and Lawrence was in the room next to me. She just asked me questions about if I was ever alone with her and just wanted to here my side of the story. I found out that day that the case was dropped and I was innocent and the detective said all of the stories lined up. This false accusation that this child made could have ruined my life. I loved working with kids. Now I will never work with kids again. Lawrence is outstanding. He cared and believed that I was innocent. Getting Lawrence was the best decision my family and I made. Thank you again Lawrence for everything.

Helped get my life back while against difficult odds

When the unfounded charges of child molestation and sexual battery were setting me up for doomed trial, and possible years in prison, I felt like my public and professional life was over. The effect of the charges' public nature were like a red letter brazened on my back, visible on the internet a...nd known to anyone in my social circles who might have heard of my situation. Wherever I went, whether it was job-hunting, church, or even social gatherings among peers, I wondered if those around me had seen the red letter (my charges), and if I had to explain my situation to every one of them. It was exhausting, and I was losing friendships while waiting for my nightmarish future to pan out. Lawrence took my case and worked tirelessly in the background, and in the end, helped to do the seemingly impossible: not only protect me from unfair sentencing and imprisonment, but help me keep my life as well. Together with his investigator JT Summers, and the rest of his great team, Lawrence helped me plea to a misdemeanor and I was dismissed on misdemeanor probation (rather than felony probation), with full expunging after the probation period ended. Because of his (and his team's) diligence and success, he gets top marks from me. Highly recommended.

Lawrence Zimmerman is absolutely amazing!

I hired Lawrence Zimmerman at the worst time in my life. I have no idea how he was able to get the results he did but I am so very grateful. I have my family and my freedom and no criminal record. I am very happy with my decision to hire this amazing lawyer. I hope each and every one of you who hire ...him have the same results!

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!

Immediate response at all times

Mr. Zimmerman took my case at the first call (Sunday evening). He was knowledgeable, encouraging and punctual. He helped me to obtain the most favorable outcome in the shortest time. There are many positive points to acknowledge, but for me the most important was that he always responded immediately... (or called back in minutes).
