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.

BEST Criminal Advocate in GA !

I have to say, there's not words enough to share with you the Professionalism, Patience, Utmost Knowledge ...in Criminal Law and Representation someone can have in Lawrence Zimmerman! Lawrence stepped in and helped me in the most difficult and trying time in my life. His reassurance and posit...ive mindset along with his knowledge of knowing how to approach the legal needs I had was tremendously more than I could have asked for or truly ever expected!.....( I say " I HAD" because Lawrence, over time and with diligence and knowledge of the law and the procedures needed to be followed handled EVERYTHING for me. ) An outstanding attorney, Law Firm and staff he has on hand surely puts Lawrence, "in my book" as the #1 Defense Attorney in Georgia ! You'll NOT go wrong in seeking Lawrence's assistance, leadership, professionalism and care for ANY legal representation you may need. (I was in prison and he came and visited me) ... I got out and Lawrence stayed with me until he assured what had came about in my life had been fully resolved and the things I had taken from me have fully been given back to me and may I say MORE THAN I had before and surely more than I deserve today. #VERYTHANKFUL FOR LAWRENCE ZIMMMERMAN K.C.

I truly appreciate your heartfelt comments. You and I both went through a rough time in trying to right the wrongs done to you. In fact, you and I had a tumultuous relationship for a little while. However, I am thankful you were able to see through the smoke and realize that I was always on your side, standing next to you, fighting for you. I am honored and humbled that we are now friends.

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.

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.

Beyond Excellent

My family and I came to Lawrence with a huge peoblem regarding a situation I had put myself in. I was accused with statutory rape and was looking at a mandatory jail sentence. As a young adult(22), this felt like the end of the world for me. Lawrence guided me through the entire process and listened ...to me. Not only the problems from my charges but the rock bottom emotional stress of feeling helpless. I am very thankful for him and his team for understanding and doing everything they can to ensure that I will have a future. My only dream was to work hard and make something of myself, and today I am relieved to still be able to hold onto that dream. Thank you Lawrence for helping me be happy and hopeful again; as well as bringing peace to my family.
