Client Review For Lawrence Zimmerman

As a first time offender in Georgia, it seems overwhelming when the process begins. Through a recommendation, I located Mr.Zimmerman and could not be more pleased with the results. Mr.Zimmerman is a well informed criminal attorney that walked me through each step of the proceedings. His straight-forw...ard and insightful demeanor eased my experience of dealing with the criminal proceedings. Dealing with a drug case in Georgia Superior Court, Mr.Zimmerman was familiar with the judge and prosecutor which allowed him to work my case to the best of any lawyer's ability in the courtroom I could imagine. He contacted the prosecutor and allowed me to plea to a much lesser charge. If not for his doing in my case, my future life plans could be altered drastically. For any case, but especially those dealing with any drug charge, I would recommend Mr.Zimmerman to anyone that listens and still cannot thank him enough for the great work that he did.

Provided Me With a Second Chance

Upon our initial consultation, I asked Lawrence for a very specific outcome, to stay out of prison. This was something he was able to accomplish. I had felonies in several counties and he was still able to focus on getting me into a rehabilitation program as a drug addict as opposed to being in pri...son. He was also able to advocate to the court that I was a drug addict and not a criminal and gave me the opportunity to start a new life of sobriety and put the criminal side of my actions behind me. I would highly recommend Lawrence Zimmerman as an attorney.

Performance review for the Law offices of Lawrence Zimmerman

Almost a year ago, I was charged with a felony (possession of illicit drugs) and my case was dismissed at the bond hearing. A year and a half later, when I was having a background check done for employment, I learned that the case had been reopened and that I had missed a court date (without my know...ledge) and therefore was convicted of this crime. The biggest issue I had with the entire situation was that I was never in possession of any illegal substance, no evidence was ever brought forth, and the police department pulled me over for no apparent reason and searched my car without my permission. They just decided they were going to arrest me and immediately took me to one of their "under-cover" facilities to try and scare me into "ratting-out" anyone that I might have possibly known with a drug connection. Too bad for them, I don't know anyone with a connection, and I wouldn't have told them squat even if I did. Really shotty, pathetic police work, again. Since this case had re-appeared without my knowledge, and because I was trying to get my name cleared so that I could take the Series 7, in order to obtain my general securities license, I needed this case taken care of as quickly as possible. With Lawrence's help, this case was dropped in a matter of a month and a half (and would have been even sooner if the court would've allowed us to have the case heard sooner) and I was allowed to continue on my career path unobstructed. Not only was he able to get the case dropped, and my good name cleared, but the charge will also be expunged from my record forever, meaning I will not ever have to explain this ridiculous situation ever again. During this whole process, Lawrence was readily available to take any calls and answer any questions that I had during this turbulant time. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck, as my career was literally hanging by a thread, but Lawrence continually assured me that he would handle the case and that I shouldn't worry as he had multiple avenues in which to pursue this charge, and that he would get it thrown out. His confidence was unwavering, which was some relief, and I wanted to believe him, but in a situation that was this huge in scope, it was hard. Turns out, he was right, and I should have just relaxed and allowed him to work the system. I could not be any happier with the outcome of this situation, and I'm thankful that Lawrence was able to deliver on everything he said he would, and that he was able to do it in such an expediate manner. With everything behind me, I'm able to go back to my life without the worry of this felony ever rearing its ugly head again. The fact that the case was dropped and expunged is a testament to Lawrence's abilities as a legal councilor. I highly recommend his practice to all that are looking for a positive, expediant, outcome.

Exceded My Expectations

I had the unfortunate luck with being arrested for "attempting to elude" the police while being pulled over for a minor traffic violation. Withholding details, it was obvious I was not guilty of this charge. I needed legal representation and found Lawrence Zimmerman. He is an excellent lawyer and ...was able to get my case dropped completely. I would have to say my experience with him was well above my expectations. I was given all of information I needed and he was very supportive and informative throughout the entire process. He answered phone calls and emails promptly, and was able to work around my busy schedule; he even took time out of his evenings to call me. His office staff is very helpful as well. I can honestly say that I put my full trust in his experience, expertise, and knowledge of the legal system and I could not be happier with my experience.
