I wasn't aware there were any honest Attorney's in the world that would actually fight for you

Before Lawrence, I would have told you that ALL attorneys do as little work as possible to obtain as much of your money they can while as long as you ‘think’ they are doing good enough job to get you by, that’s as much as they will do. Before Lawrence, I truly believed that ALL attorneys just stat...e they defend civil liberties, it just sounds good so why not state that. Lawrence and I had a very bumpy start, I was still shaken from the injustice that had happened to me and he was the whipping post that just took my money while (in my mind) he was doing all of the other deeds described above…..to be clear, it was in my mind. I'm almost surprised that Lawrence didn't just fire me as a client. I believed all of these things about attorneys were true because I have seen this type of behavior and still believe it is typical. I gave him hell and it really wasn't necessary. Lawrence told me when I hired him he would respond to me quickly and always tell me the truth and the man did not let me down…Ever. Here’s what you need to understand. You may have been guilty of something or maybe you were not, however from what have learned and believe me I have learned a lot, the chances are extremely high that the law enforcement agency broke laws, will commit perjury, destroy, create documents just to get your life destroyed thrown in jail. Who's the real criminal when this happens? Let’s face it, cops tend to not be the sharpest knives in the drawer. Many are downright stupid. Which is worse, police that are sworn to uphold law who then actually commit crimes intended to incarcerate you, a citizen who may or may not have broken a given law which contains accusations powerful enough to destroy your life defending yourself against these all powerful gang blue suits? The cards are stacked against you from the top to the bottom. That is something I still truly believe about the criminal justice system. Lawrence did all of the things for me an attorney is supposed to do and I would hire him in a millisecond if I ever needed another criminal attorney. In court I saw it myself and can tell you that Lawrence Zimmerman is humble but strong. He asks very pointed questions that can dice these kind of cops up like a madman but his delivery is so subtle that you don’t even recognize it until you read the transcript of a hearing which he delivered. I mean, why make the enemy sweat bullets and become belligerent on the stand if you have them eating right out of your hand? That is my life changing attorney who earned my utmost respect not just as a good attorney, but a good solid human being. I thank God, I met Lawrence Zimmerman.

Zimmerman Saved My Career

I had a extremely serious case with cobb county that could have completely ruined my career and reputation. However, Zimmerman saved my career! He did a phenomenal job at keeping me informed with what's going to happen next. He was very knowledgable about all the questions that I asked about. He wa...s easily accessible and made himself flexible with my vigorous work load. Zimmerman fought and protected me to the very end! I am very appreciative and will go to him if I ever have to face any legal matters in the future.

Lawrence Zimmerman helped me win a Nolle Prosse Dismissal on my Forgery Charges

In April of 2012 my husband and I (self-employed professionals) were arrested on criminal charges of first degree forgery. We had helped a friend when he came to our office with a document, asking that we only witness his signature. Unfortunately, the document was fraudulent. Being arrested, espec...ially when you know you are innocent, is not just frightening - it shakes your trust in what you think is right in the world, in justice and in the legal system. Finding Lawrence Zimmerman to represent me in this nightmare was the first step toward restoring my faith in the belief that our system does work. Having that first person in the legal/judicial system stand up for YOU is a powerful moment. It has taken almost 18 months to have the charges against me (and my husband) dismissed by the DA's office Nolle Prosse. I have Lawrence to thank for that. During those 18 months Lawrence was there for me. He was a sounding board, a source for factual information, a bulwark between myself and a legal system that seemed to have gone haywire. He was my advocate and became my friend. My husband is a doctor. I now know what his patients feel when they come to him for advice and expertise on a course of action to help ensure their health. Lawrence filled a similar position for me. He was the expert. I knew he would give me his best advice on how to protect my rights and ensure my freedom. I would gladly and unequivocally recommend him and would not hesitate to use him again, should I need legal counsel - God Forbid!

Mr. Zimmerman Saved My Professional Career!

When I was charged with a criminal felony a year earlier, I was already three years into my post graduate doctoral program in Atlanta. I am a native of North Carolina and after extensive research and conversations, Mr Zimmerman was suggested to me from my most trusted sources. Mr. Zimmerman has b...een more courteous, knowledgeable, and professional than I could have imagined! He was always been extremely punctual with communication, never having to be refreshed on the details of my case or my personal details. While in the process of handling these charges I was extremely worried about the effects of obtaining my professional license; Mr. Zimmerman was always very honest while handling my case with optimism. I can't explain how thankful I am that his conduct and actions made it possible for me to return focus to my studies in preparation for my upcoming final board exams and reviews (which I had been working towards for four years.) I highly recommend Mr. Zimmerman as he is the most professional, factual, and effective attorney I could have ever asked for representation!

Parental Judicial Opinion

My career has been a litigation attorney, superior court judge, and corporate counsel. We live out of state, and our son goes to graduate school in the Atlanta area. When he was arrested for a felony, we did our research to find the right attorney for him, including inquiring within our network of ...contacts in the legal, judicial, and law enforcement fields, including a retired FBI agent, for recommendations. We talked to several but Mr. Zimmerman was the one that my son, my wife and I were the most comfortable with and agreed upon, abeit all for different reasons. Throughout his representation of my son, he was very professional, patient, and communicated with him and us regularly and responded to any of our questions promptly. We never felt we were just another one of his cases, that he had to refresh his recollection of the specific details of our son's case, or did or said anything that caused us to question his commitment to our son's case. His investigation, legal knowledge and research were excellent, which, combined with his persistence, were instrumental in accurately telling the "legal facts" of the story and achieving the "best case scenario" outcome in our son's case. Each of us highly praise him for his personal and professional services to us in his representation of our son, and we recommend him very highly.
