Has the government just decided to ruin your life ?

Lawrence cared enough about me to make sure mine wasn't ruined. Lawrence agreed to a retainer and took it, and as the prosecution acted like monkeys trying to screw a football adding and subtracting charges and making threats and promises, Lawrence held his cards close to his chest, and he had me wai...t them out with them. In the end, was it the just or right outcome ? I don't feel it was, but you know who determined that outcome: the government and myself. Lawrence will go all the way for you, other attorneys want play graba$$ with each other. Lawrence maintains professional relationships, is well connected but he keeps one thing #1- the client, the client, the client. A valuable piece of property was kept as evidence, my dad rode my behind in order to get it, and wanted me to go after it like a bulldog after a bone. Several years after all was said and done, Lawrence did the leg work and he got that piece of property for me. In the entire time I had any interaction with the government(LE, perse... excuse me: prosecution, investigators) I had one pleasant interaction: When they breathed a sigh of relief Lawrence wasn't going to bring down a roof over their head because they hadn't followed their own procedure and destroyed that piece of property. I got it back. It was something my dad gave me, it is now worth 2x to 3x what it first cost, and is worth more as that was back when my dad could still had respect for me as a human being. All through everything Lawrence would shake his head and ask me how I got into the mess, but he wasn't doing it judgmentally, he just hated how the government was treating me and thinking of a strategy to best defend me. LJZ was there for me. I am a terrible person to get along with but LZ put up with me, saw me as a human being and not a thug, and tried to do his best to check for my wellbeing and my future. That is what attorneys used to do. A lawyer files briefs and argues. An attorney is your trainer, cut-man, and advisor in a brutal fight, he cares about the win but also the fighter. Make no mistake, LZ can take apart a prosecutor in the courtroom, but figuratively speaking he isn't afraid to get down in the parking lot if it comes to it. That includes anyone on opposing counsel. Thanks for what you did for me LZ.

Thank You Mr Zimmerman

I first hired Lawrence Zimmerman when I was referred to him by another lawyer who was  busy in a trial. Boy, am I glad I got him. First of all, I was on probation for something I did ten years ago when I was a much different person. I made some bad decisions in life, but over the past 7 years, I was ...able to start working, stay sober and focus on positive things. Unfortunately, I failed to show up for felony probation in Cobb County. So, for many years, I have been hiding, worrying, not driving because I knew I would be arrested and thrown in jail.  Before Mr. Zimmerman, I had another lawyer who promised me the moon, and he supposedly was a good lawyer. Let me tell you, he was not a good lawyer; Mr. Zimmerman is a great lawyer. He didn't promise me anything but hard work I met with him after firing my other lawyer, and he came up with a strong game plan. It took several months until we were able to be successful, but he met with the DA and was able to get them to agree to allow me to walk into the courtroom, not be arrested for being a fugitive and close my case. No more probation! I can't tell you how grateful I am to him. I have my life back! I can move forward. He and his staff are awesome. He is a top notch lawyer in Georgia.

Amazing Legal Support & Leadership

I was falsely accused of sexual assault/rape but felt I needed immediate legal representation. I reached out to Lawrence via email (thru website) and he contacted me back within the hour and stated he could speak to me at 9pm at night! I accepted! Although he had to make an out of town business tr...ip he put together an immediate strategy and specific action plan that we would follow together over the next 5-7 days. This plan included doing interviews with his personal investigator (JT), pictures, references, etc. JT is a first-class addition to Lawrence's team and proved to be extremely valuable through the process. Lawrence and JT developed a very thorough package that was presented to the detectives. The plan and 'client package' that Lawrence laid out for me was executed flawlessly and at the end of the day was ultimately the reason why my case was officially closed by the detectives. Lawrence and his team (JT and staff) are FIRST-CLASS.... Period! I would highly recommend Lawerence's services to anyone in need of an experienced, very personable, no-nonsense lawyer.

Felt Confident in my chances to win!

Thanks to Lawrence my case was able to be dismissed! I had never been arrested before and reassured me of the process every step of the way! I thank him so much for getting me my life back! He also has a super professional team that assisted me in the process! I can't thank him enough!

Can't put into words how thankful I am.

I would like to start by saying that when nobody else wanted to help me, or only wanted to speak with me to obtain their consultation fee and show me the door, Lawrence was there to listen to my story and my troubles. He truly cared about me and my situation and was very understanding and informative.... I told my story and he was the only one to believe me. I was charged with 2 felony charges. Felony child molestation and felony aggravated child molestation. I was facing 25+ years in prison. Lawrence, through all his hard work, helped me bring the charges down to misdemeanors and am now only facing a couple years probation, compared to 25+ years of imprisonment. Even at the beginning, when I learned that I was issued a warrant, I was not suppose to be able to post bail. He fought for me and allowed me to be able to leave, not in a day, but within HOURS of walking in and turning myself in. If I had not had Lawrence to help me with my bail, I would have lost 8+ months of income and would have lost my job. I would have just been sitting in a jail cell waiting for my trial, and if that had happened, I would have not even been able to pay for ANY attorney. The case dragged on for 8 months, and during that time, I never once felt that he had forgotten about me. I would call him, and he would instantly know what I was talking about and never got my case confused with another he was working on. That is how dedicated he was to helping me. I would always be able to reach him and his correspondence to emails or texts were done that day, if not instantly. Whenever I asked Lawrence about my case, he never gave me false hope or said "I think I can do that" just to make me feel better. He gave me everything I needed to make an informed decision. In that way, I knew what was coming and never felt blind-sided by anything. I cannot express how thankful I am to him and would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family if they were to ever come across legal problems. I implore anyone that reads this review, If you are looking for an attorney, look no further. He is the one that can help you, like he has helped me.
