Protecting the Innocent

Arrested, That's bad enough. But arrested for a crime you didn't commit is really bad. After talking the case over with Mr. Zimmerman I felt comfortable with his thoughts as to my innocence, I hired Mr. Zimmerman because I felt he had my best interest in his hands. Communication with his office per...sonnel and himself were excellent. Kept me up to date on all aspects of the case. We wanted the charges dropped and they wanted to prosecute. In Mr. Zimmerman's mind they had no case. After numerous attempts to get the charges dropped and rejections, over and over we were ready for court. Six moths after the arrest and three days before our day in court they decide to drop the charges. The police had no evidence of a crime having been committed. There never was a crime committed, but because I stood up for my rights, the police showed me inside of the jail. I stood up for my rights and Lawrence Zimmerman was right there by my side the whole way. I can't thank him enough. I hope you never need a lawyer, but if you do, Lawrence Zimmerman is very good at defending the innocent. Thank You

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.

I am so thankful that I found Lawrence Zimmerman to help my son. He help me in my darkest hour.

My son had never been in any legal trouble before so I was scared and devastated when he got an MIP. I didn't know what to do or how to help him. This happened on a weekend and I was so amazed and thrilled when Lawrence personally answered his phone on a Saturday. I was so blessed to have found Lawre...nce Zimmerman. He immediately gave me a plan of action that assisted us efficiently and effectively. Most importantly, he got my son out of jail quickly. Then he took the time to explain to us how the legal process would work for my son's situation. He stayed in constant communication with us and advised us each step of the process. When the judge ruled in my son's case, Lawrence provided me with all the supporting documentation and contact information that we needed to get the community service and counseling completed accurately and on a timely basis. I hope we don't need a lawyer again but if we do, I will immediately call Lawrence!!

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.

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!
