Thank you

I havent reatined Mr Zimmerman as of yet I've only conversated with him by phone this morning. This has been a horrific ordeal for me( absolutely scary ) I was given his name by someone at University of Florida. From just speaking with Mr. Zimmerman I felt comfortable. I've wasted alot of money on th...is situation simply because an ex was mad and decided to try and ruin my whole life and career. I'vewasted money and hired Attys who did absolutely nothing and would never return phone calls. This whole ordeal has made me sick to where I cant sleep at night I've gained weight 65 lbs to be exact. I truly cant afford Mr. Zimmerman right now as I have wasted so much money on an attorney that has done absolutely nothing toward this case. I cant get my money back from the other attorney but I'm certainly going to do my very best to retain Mr. Zimmerman. Although I havent retained him yet I decided to write this review based on the conversation I had with him this morning. I didnt feel rushed to explain my situation . I didnt feel like I was bothering him. He listened to me speak on my fears of this case. To anyone in need of an attorney who truly cares I would highly recommend Mr. Zimmerman. I believe EVERY SINGLE REVIEW I've read on this site about Mr. Zimmerman. Mr. Zimmerman if you read this I just want to say THANK YOU !

Lawrence Zimmerman is a great Attorney

Lawrence is very level headed and strictly business and priority driven being to get his clients the best results. I was charged with 4 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. This was my first time being in any serious legal trouble. I was emotional and if you are in a legal situation that is expected. Law...rence is very level headed. He works non stop and to ensure he is most knowledgeable about your situation. You can be honest and candid with him because he truly have your best interest in mind. After hiring Lawrence he was able to get some of the charges drop and the others reduced. The end result is that I was charged with 3 misdemeanors and during the court preceding Lawrence was more knowledgeable than the judge about certain laws. At the time of my plea during court Lawrence reminded the judge of the law that would allow my record to be seal immediately on the same day as my court hearing. The end result I was sentenced to misdemeanor probation with my record sealed. I am able to resume my life and keep my job. My original charges where Aggravated assault, false imprisonment, theft by taking, kidnapping, cruelty to children, interfering with a 911 call . I went to court on the first of the month and going on out of the country 2 weeks later a free man. For all that is reading this post and need an attorney this is a big decision make a good choice. Good luck with all your legal troubles!

Lawrence Zimmerman- Exceptional Lawyer who saved my family

I was falsely accused of aggravated sexual battery and quickly went to Lawrence's office where he showed support and knowledge of what to do next. I felt confident choosing him to represent me. Lawrence teams with J.T. of Spearhead Investigations and because of J.T.'s detective work, he was able to... find the claimant had falsely accused another man of rape within the year and that case was closed due to lies. He represented me at the Preliminary hearing and I was very impressed by his preparation and intelligence. Although I was given an arrest warrant and went in myself, further investigation went underway, and Lawrence remained in touch and focused on getting the accusations dismissed. The bond hearing kept getting rescheduled but I had patience in the process and confidence in Lawrence. After a couple of months, he presented the facts at the bond hearing and I was granted bail. In addition to J.T., Lawrence suggested Norman Cuadra a fellow lawyer and judge, to work as a witness representation for a 3rd party. The teamwork and communication between everyone and the DA worked in our favor and because of Lawrence's attention to detail and logic the case was ultimately dismissed without an indictment. They knew what they were up against. The nightmare is over and he is now working on getting the accusations taken off of the arrest record. Lawrence Zimmerman is an exceptional lawyer! I highly recommend him! Patience and persistence paid off and despite the circumstances I have no doubt in my mind he was placed in my life at the right time to help me and ultimately kept my family together. Thank you Lawrence! Our family is forever grateful!

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.

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.
