You cannot find a more competent, experienced and caring Attorney

I have a well connected network within the judicial system including Judges, Attorneys and Congressmen and when my son was arrested for possession, I did not even hesitate to hire Lawrence to represent him out of all of the available attorneys that I know personally or through the community. I based ...that decision on his solid reputation and highly recommended referrals from the community. Once that case was completed my 2nd son made an even bigger mistake for possession and once again my decision was firm to hire Lawrence to represent him. Matter of fact, it was a different county and over a holiday. I sent him a text through the night and when we showed up for court at 0900 the next morning for a bail hearing, Lawrence was present in court, had my son's bail handled and everything was already taken care of before we even got there. Children don't always make wise decisions especially while in college but the last thing we wanted was those mistakes to become a life long hardship on their future. Lawrence handled their cases with the utmost of care and his expertise allowed my son's to enter straight into diversion. Their record is clean of any charges and their futures stand strong provided they uphold their end of the deal and make better decisions. We would have been lost without Lawrence to handle this for our family. He kept us informed of everything that was happening. He returned calls and/or text promptly. He made sure we were aware of all the hearings (yes, there were a lot). He worked with my son's school schedule to the best of his ability. You could not ask for a more caring attorney to handle something so sensitive for your family. His expertise speaks for itself as he is an excellent well respected attorney not only in the local community but in all of the surrounding areas too. His genuinely caring soul for his clients is above and beyond most attorneys that treat your loved one like a number in a file. You would be a fool not to hire him to represent you in any criminal matter! He is just simply the best criminal law attorney in the business and he will not only meet but exceed your expectations!

Thank you, yes, I am sorry both your kids got into some trouble, but they are both smart and will do great things. You were such a great person to work with, and with all your connections, I was honored you chose me to speak for your family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Saved my life and that of my family

I had been falsely accused by a woman of rape. The detective investigating the case had done a one sided investigation and piled up “evidence” against me. I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep, eat or focus on anything. Based on how the police detective portrayed the evidence, I had an arrest warrant... against me. I had hired a defense lawyer and he was handling the case in a very chaotic manner, so much so that I was sure that all cards were stacked up against me. This was till I fired my attorney and hired Lawrence Zimmerman. Things instantly changed for me. I did not know it then but when I hired Lawrence, I hired one of the best criminal defense team in Atlanta. You should know that if you are in any serious legal trouble and you hire Lawrence, you are hiring the best lawyer, the best private investigator in the business (Charles Mittelstadt, who is on Lawrence’s team) and any other resource that Lawrence feels will allow the case to have a positive outcome. In my case he brought on board another criminal defense lawyer who knew the the county folks and a woman lawyer, both of who were excellent lawyers in their own right. He did this without charging me any additional fee. As the case progressed, the investigation from Lawrence’s investigator (Charles), negotiations with the prosecutors, interviews with witnesses that the police detectives had missed out and combing through the evidence from the accuser, the team was able to clarify the case for the prosecution to such an extent that the DA dropped ALL CHARGES and sealed the records. Lawrence and his team for sure saved my life but in getting this positive verdict they saved all the lives tied to mine. I am going to be forever grateful to them. At their request, I will anonymously talk to anyone to discuss my experience with them. If you are in significant legal trouble, you really need to call Lawrence. You will be glad you did.

Thank you. At first glance, this was probably one of the hardest cases we have ever seen with a ton of horrible evidence. However, once we were able to investigate, and pull back the curtains, we discovered, thanks to digital evidence, this was the biggest frame job of the century. If this case was 20 years ago, you would have probably gone to prison forever, but due to the digital evidence we found that cleared you including her web history and surveillance videos, we were able to get your case dismissed. I appreciate you asking me to represent you & I am honored that you allowed me to be your voice. Remember, the first lawyer you had told you and me that there was no way out of your case & that you would go to prison forever. Choosing the right lawyer is the most important decision.

Case Dropped

When you have never had a run in with the law your world turns upside down in an instant when you are falsely accused of serious, potentially life changing charges. Lawrence was there for me and brought calm to the situation from my first call, even after normal office hours. He really went above and... beyond for me with every question and concern. Lawrence put forward the right information for the detective and DA to make it so charges were not even put forward. My advice, hire him and have him in your corner from the beginning, he is a true professional and knows what to do to fight for you.

Thank you! Being falsely accused of a sexual offense is all consuming and scary. Getting involved early and speaking weekly with the police helped us move the case in the right direction.

Everything you want in a Lawyer!

Lawrence (LZ) is the only lawyer you need. Extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the law, so much that it eases your mind with any phone call you have with him. He’s very responsive, and tells you exactly what you’re dealing with. I felt like I couldn’t go with anyone else! I live out of state, ...but he was able to handle all court appearances and win my case. I got all charges dropped and wasted no time! I highly recommend Lawrence, I’m keeping his contact in my back pocket!

The guy you need on your side!

We hired Lawrence to help us fight a serious false allegation. Someone seeking retribution claimed I sexually assaulted someone. My life was turned upside down. Lawrence and his team were the calm in the midst of chaos. He worked hard, stayed in constant contact, and ultimately won our case! He knows... the law backwards and forwards. Nothing got by him. He and his team are strategic, compassionate, passionate, talented and highly skilled. When you need someone in your corner he is the guy for the job.

Thank you so much for your kind words. The scariest thing any lawyer or client has to deal with is the unknown. When you decide to have a jury trial, it is stressful not knowing if the jury will make the correct decision. While we always believed any jury would find you Not Guilty, the unknown is clearly what keeps most good lawyers awake all night thinking about their strategy and making sure to leave no stone unturned. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the honor and privilege of allowing me to speak for you to that jury west of Metro-Atlanta, in a real conservative county. They spoke back to us with a resounding: Not Guilty.
