A Lawyer for Lawyers

I am lawyer who was falsely accused of Peeping Tom, a felony in GA. As a lawyer, I stood to lose a lot should I be indicted or convicted. I retained Lawrence, and I was glad I did. After taking my case, Lawrence, and his investigator, Charles, carefully reviewed the facts and developed an excellent... game plan. For the next several weeks, they meticulously gathered exculpatory physical evidence and witness testimony. Additionally, Lawrence utilized his connections with the DA's office to arrange for a preemptory meeting to discuss my case. All the while, Lawrence was attentive to my requests and maintained near-constant communication with me throughout this stressful ordeal. I am happy to say that, as a result of their efforts, my case was dismissed. Overall, I was tremendously impressed with Lawrence and Charles. I am not just pleased with the outcome but with the level of service I received. Lawrence has earned his reputation and I would gladly recommend him to anyone.

There is no greater honor for me then when a colleague, a fellow member of the Bar, asks me to represent them. I was thrilled beyond belief to get your case dismissed so you could carry on with your successful career. The only downside was my car being broken into shortly after leaving the District Attorney's Office to stop to celebrate our victory. Just a briefcase and a laptop were stolen. It was well worth you getting your freedom back.

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.

One of the BEST in the BUSINESS

Lawrence was very calm and diligent with my case. He never promised anything, but always came through on his word. Did a phenomenal job with my case, and got me the best outcome for my case. Would always recommend him to anyone that needed his services. Actually would consider him a friend after him ...and Kyle have been through with me. If there is ever a doubt, don't because he did exactly what we sought out to do.

I appreciate it. Getting a bond in a federal case, one of this magnitude is hard work, and we prevailed when previous lawyers said you couldn't get a bond. Ultimately, we were able to successfully resolve your case as well. We consider you a friend always.

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.
