True Legal Professional

Mr. Zimmerman provided me with a legal expertise that went way beyond the norm in his defense of my DUI. He kept me informed throughout the process, listened to me as the client, and essentially negotiated an implausible outcome and offense reduction that allowed me to keep my license, my reputation..., and my peace of mind. More importantly, he not only cared about his work and dedication to defend me, but exhibited that care honestly and fully throughout the process. I am assured that without his skill, professionalism, and integrity anyone who makes the decision to go through such a similar ordeal without him would begin at a great disadvantage to themselves and their families. I highly recommend Mr. Zimmerman!

A trustworthy Attorney

Lawrence did a great job presenting my case in an effort to have the charges reduced. In Fulton county this just does not happen and yet the day before going to a jury trial the Judge and arresting officer agreed to request a reduction. His persistance paid off! My case was not complicated, but La...wrence refused to let the system process me like cattle.

Knows the Cobb Co. courts, and who to talk to

I was facing prison and the loss of everything due to poor judgment and a risky lifestyle. Mr. Zimmerman got the most serious charges dropped and I was left with a tolerable probation. I expected my lawyer to drive me nuts, but such was not the case here. He always answered my calls and kept me up... to date. He's a type A personality who respects his clients and is an exemplary steward of his profession.

Explained IN PLAIN ENGLISH, and Fought For My Rights

To all those looking for some real feedback on this Attn. A year ago I was involved in something stupid. Almost a wrong place at the wrong time. I guess you really learn from these things. The first part was, I opted for a court appointed council. Bad Idea. I had no real understanding of the c...harges I was facing. Ok, this is a big deal because, you can defend yourself yet alone ask someone else to defend you. It took a friends attn, to tell me that I was looking at some serious time. Once I heard this from someone who had no interest in my future, I started to do my own research. I started looking at any place I could for a good council. I made a list of about 10. Mr. Zimmerman was on that list. After setting up appointments with all and discussing with them my case. I realized how serious the allegations really were. I narrowed my choices down to two. My choice was based on what I could research about these two, and how clear they were to explain to me what I really am facing. Mr. Zimmerman was very prompt in responding, he had a very busy schedule, but made sure that I was completely clear as to what he was trying to say. It was for those reasons I hired Mr. Z. Mr.Z. Offered me brilliant advice, and did a very great job explaining to me what was going on. From legal questions, to charges, and breaking down those long verbose sentences that were just trying to say something simple. See the problem with the legal system is they try to use big words in small sentences to say very broad statements. Mr.Z was able to explain to me exactly what I needed to know boiled down from a really legal sentence to plain english that related to me. So if the judge said some big crazy sentence, Mr.Z would say basically he says you had knowledge of what was going on. See plain english means I can understand and defend myself to him. He in turn would defend me to the court. It was this characteristic of his which I believe that made him a great suit for me. Mr.Z's great knowledge of the legal system, his contacts, and his keen prospective helped me get acquitted for all charges. I couldn't have asked for more. I was most impressed with his communication. I had all my questions, and concerns addressed promptly. And believe me if you don't think promptness is important, you're wrong. If someone tells you you are looking at say 4 years behind bars. You really cant sleep at night. If you can get some comforting advice from someone like your own council right away, you can rest better. I am very proud to present to you a great candidate for your legal defense. Mr. Lawrence Zimmerman.

Results Delivered!

I hired Mr. Zimmerman for the sole purpose of discontinuing Sex Offender registration. After about two weeks of research, I concluded that Lawrence was the best qualified attorney to handle my petition. Lawrence was very diligent in filing all necessary paper-work and keeping all parties informed... of any updates. On the day of my hearing, Lawrence was able to convince the Judge and the District Attorney that based upon my clean record since my conviction, a long, drawn-out hearing was not necessary. Thankfully, they agreed and I was pardoned from any further registration. I am very grateful for his help and would recommend him to others.
