Excellent lawyer helped me out a bunch!

Like the title says he is an excellent lawyer and has helped me with multiple cases greatly. Ive used him for several different types of cases. Criminal defense, dui, probation. He came through very nicely and im very pleased with the results. Any question i had he answered and if he did not know the... answer he found it out and let me know promptly. I trusted all of his advice and im glad i did. I would recommend him to everyone, in fact i have already. Hopefully ill never get in trouble again but if i do i know who to call!

Acquitted of Charges-DUI

I hired Lawrence Zimmerman based on a referral from a friend who had used him and said he was the real deal. He was very informative on all subject matter of my charges (DUI) and all aspects of court procedures. He was always prepared, on time and a positive person throughout the whole ordeal. He alw...ays stayed positive through all of the motions and hearings letting me know we have a good chance of at least lowering the charges. We went to a bench trial where he was able to work his many years of criminal defending to acquit me on the major offense of DUI. I remember when he was presenting his final statement, he told the Judge that the arresting officer never mentioned the "venue" of where this arrest took place. I had no idea what that meant but that is why I had hired Lawrence. He leaned to me, when they were going to the tape recorder to see if he had / hadn't mentioned the "venue", to tell me "....this is like kicking a field goal in overtime!!" They threw out the charges without question based on Lawrence paying attention to every detail. He always made me feel comfortable with what was going on by explaining in layman's terms to what was happening and why. He presented to the DA and Judge all of the evidence which was a huge part of my acquittal. I have referred many people that said they need a great criminal defense attorney or needs advice. He is a person that you would call your, "Go to guy!" for any matter with the law. I also consider Lawrence a friend of mine! Again, if I was ever in need of a lawyer, Lawrence would no doubt be my "Go to guy!".

Tenacious, Knowledgeable, Imperturbable

I recommend Lawrence in all capacities. Lawrence's unwavering confidence helped propel me through one of the most difficult and embarrassing times of my life. You truly feel like you have a friend in a world against you. I was recently charged with a DUI, and as a young professional with hig...her aspirations, I felt my world crashing around me. I was overwhelmed with a huge sense of guilt for my two young children and my career and how it might affect my family. When meeting with Lawrence, for the first time, he quickly put my mind at ease, with his confidence and knowledge of Law. He was very specific in his instructions, explanations, background examination, and answered all my questions, as I had never experienced anything like this before. I was very impressed with his openness to communicate. His follow-through was impeccable. He always responded within minutes. And always encouraging me to ask more questions to ensure I understood every situation, knowing this was unfamiliar territory for me. Lawrence is a fighter. He often pushed the limits in difficult circumstances. He is not afraid and will not back down as he demonstrated in my case, to ensure I was getting the most fair judgement. As a result of Lawrence's tenacity, while being charged with a DUI, he successfully had it dropped to reckless driving with no contingencies. I would also be remiss if I did not mention the employees of his staff. They too are fantastic communicators and extremely compassionate.

Lawrence Zimmerman was an excellent choice!

Recently I had a need for a top defense attorney to avoid receiving my 2nd DUI within 10 years. Lawrence worked diligently on my case, successfully motioned to suppress some of the state's key evidence, treated me with dignity and respect and put my mind at ease through the whole process. The outco...me of the case was very satisfactory and he saved my career and reputation. I would recommend Lawrence to any of my family or friends or to anyone for that matter. Put your trust in one of the Southeast's premier defense attorneys and hire Lawrence Zimmerman as your counsel today!

The Lawyer That Saved My Life, More Than Once!

A friend of mine recommended LZ to me 5 years ago and I have been using him as my sole attorney ever since. With cases ranging from DUI and concealed weapon to aggravated assault, LZ has saved my life when the DA or my probation officer seemed determined to ruin it. Every time I have set a goal for h...im he has reached or exceeded it, and by doing so he has earned his pay and his reputation. Lawrence has kept me from going to prison more than once! Over the past 5 years I have used Lawrence 8 times. I have never been let down. When I talk to people about the work he has done for me and the outcomes of my cases a lot of folks can't believe what I am telling them. So I always encourage anybody that seems to be in doubt to give him a call and see for themselves. On top of the exceptional work that he does, LZ is friendly, down to earth, and easy to talk to. He has knowledge beyond his years. I always leave his office or hang up the phone feeling assured and refreshed, always knowing that I am in the best hands and I have nothing to worry about. To me, that kind of assurance is always worth what I'm paying. It is safe to say that I trust Lawrence with my life. At this point I can also say that we have developed a friendship, and LZ is definately someone you want to have your back when you need help! If you need help of any kind, do not hesitate to call him. You can't go wrong!
