Performance review for the Law offices of Lawrence Zimmerman

Almost a year ago, I was charged with a felony (possession of illicit drugs) and my case was dismissed at the bond hearing. A year and a half later, when I was having a background check done for employment, I learned that the case had been reopened and that I had missed a court date (without my know...ledge) and therefore was convicted of this crime. The biggest issue I had with the entire situation was that I was never in possession of any illegal substance, no evidence was ever brought forth, and the police department pulled me over for no apparent reason and searched my car without my permission. They just decided they were going to arrest me and immediately took me to one of their "under-cover" facilities to try and scare me into "ratting-out" anyone that I might have possibly known with a drug connection. Too bad for them, I don't know anyone with a connection, and I wouldn't have told them squat even if I did. Really shotty, pathetic police work, again. Since this case had re-appeared without my knowledge, and because I was trying to get my name cleared so that I could take the Series 7, in order to obtain my general securities license, I needed this case taken care of as quickly as possible. With Lawrence's help, this case was dropped in a matter of a month and a half (and would have been even sooner if the court would've allowed us to have the case heard sooner) and I was allowed to continue on my career path unobstructed. Not only was he able to get the case dropped, and my good name cleared, but the charge will also be expunged from my record forever, meaning I will not ever have to explain this ridiculous situation ever again. During this whole process, Lawrence was readily available to take any calls and answer any questions that I had during this turbulant time. Needless to say, I was a nervous wreck, as my career was literally hanging by a thread, but Lawrence continually assured me that he would handle the case and that I shouldn't worry as he had multiple avenues in which to pursue this charge, and that he would get it thrown out. His confidence was unwavering, which was some relief, and I wanted to believe him, but in a situation that was this huge in scope, it was hard. Turns out, he was right, and I should have just relaxed and allowed him to work the system. I could not be any happier with the outcome of this situation, and I'm thankful that Lawrence was able to deliver on everything he said he would, and that he was able to do it in such an expediate manner. With everything behind me, I'm able to go back to my life without the worry of this felony ever rearing its ugly head again. The fact that the case was dropped and expunged is a testament to Lawrence's abilities as a legal councilor. I highly recommend his practice to all that are looking for a positive, expediant, outcome.

Kelvin Ijeh's review

Overall Mr. Zimmerman is a great lawyer! He always keeps his clients informed and never reveals their information. Without him who knows where I would be!

Exceded My Expectations

I had the unfortunate luck with being arrested for "attempting to elude" the police while being pulled over for a minor traffic violation. Withholding details, it was obvious I was not guilty of this charge. I needed legal representation and found Lawrence Zimmerman. He is an excellent lawyer and ...was able to get my case dropped completely. I would have to say my experience with him was well above my expectations. I was given all of information I needed and he was very supportive and informative throughout the entire process. He answered phone calls and emails promptly, and was able to work around my busy schedule; he even took time out of his evenings to call me. His office staff is very helpful as well. I can honestly say that I put my full trust in his experience, expertise, and knowledge of the legal system and I could not be happier with my experience.

My association with Mr. Zimmerman

As my attorney,Mr.Zimmerman was straightforward and very available to me and my concerns at any time during my 13 months of being accused of a crime that never existed.It could'nt have been easy to have to be there on call for me as an attorney ,but Lawrence never failed to call me at any time of the... evening or any day of the week even sacrificing time with his own family to keep my own peace of mind.He never once wavered in his belief in my innocence and stood toe to toe with the prosecution when they offered a DEAL.Even when i thought i just didn't want any more and just wanted to quit he truly was my coach or drill instructor who motivated me to not give up.He truly took a personal interest in what my case had became and i could'nt have been more happy with our relationship as attorney and client,as a father he understood what was happening,he took it personal and never waiverd in his belief in my case.We won my case hands down with no resistance at all,and for that i thank him.I consider Lawrence more than just my attorney,he became a friend,and i would and will recommend him to anyone that would ever be in need of an attorney that surely will go the extra mile for a client,he really was there for me,Thanks Lawrence.

Airport arrest ? Fight for your right to fly !

Before it happened to me... I never believed that a reasonable person could/would get deplaned --and arrested!! Lawrence met with me immediately after my bail was posted and clearly explained my legal options. His expertise has been crucial to recovering from this entire ordeal... 1. With his assi...stance, I was able to leave the US & continue on to my final destination in a timely manner so that I did not lose my job. 2. Consistent and timely updates via phone, email, and FedEx to my office overseas allowed me to concentrate on my job while the court case was being reviewed by Prosecutors office. 3. Successful arbitration with Prosecutor for case dismissal. 4. This entire process took 6 months for my case to be dismissed… yet Lawrence was always available to answer all of my questions and concerns. His total fees were very fair and agreed upon during our first meeting. Most importantly, he was able to deliver the results I wanted in order to protect my future employment and personal reputation. It you want the best - rely on Lawrence to protect your rights.
