Lawrence is the reason I get to see my daughter more than 6 days a month.

Even though he had a heavy workload, Lawrence took on a weak contempt case against my ex wife. This was a "Hail Mary Pass" to get more visitation of my 7 year old daughter. It would be impossible to describe how he did it, but here's the short version. In October 2007 my ex and I split. When she left... is ripped my whole world apart and took my baby girl with her. 3 years, 10 months and at least 5 previous attorney's, Lawrence pull out my first real victory and got me 50/50 visitation and no child support. If you were to ask me how he did it, I would simply say "He is smart and great with people". Thank you Lawrence, being a great father you know what this means to me.

Client Review For Lawrence Zimmerman

As a first time offender in Georgia, it seems overwhelming when the process begins. Through a recommendation, I located Mr.Zimmerman and could not be more pleased with the results. Mr.Zimmerman is a well informed criminal attorney that walked me through each step of the proceedings. His straight-forw...ard and insightful demeanor eased my experience of dealing with the criminal proceedings. Dealing with a drug case in Georgia Superior Court, Mr.Zimmerman was familiar with the judge and prosecutor which allowed him to work my case to the best of any lawyer's ability in the courtroom I could imagine. He contacted the prosecutor and allowed me to plea to a much lesser charge. If not for his doing in my case, my future life plans could be altered drastically. For any case, but especially those dealing with any drug charge, I would recommend Mr.Zimmerman to anyone that listens and still cannot thank him enough for the great work that he did.

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.

One of Atlanta's Premier Lawyers

Mr. Zimmerman represented me in a serious sexual offense case that I was charged with recently in Georgia. He is an excellent lawyer, and I would highly recommend him to anyone with serious case seeking an effective lawyer. He is very knowledgeable in his area of practice, and very clearly explained ...everything concerning the case to me - the charges, my options, his defense strategy, and expectations. In the end, he was able to get the case dismissed. He not only saved my reputation and my marriage, but he saved my career because having this charge on my criminal record would have had devastating impact on future job prospects for me. I am most grateful to Mr. Zimmerman for successfully defending my case, and felt fortunate to have him as a my lawyer.

Great lawyer who gets the job done

Lawrence is a great lawyer who has always helped me get the best out of my situations. Recommended by a friend, he has never let me down. Years ago when I first used Lawrence, he was able to get a misdemeanor marijuana charge dropped from my record. The second time I used Lawrence, he got my DUI cha...rges lowered to reckless driving and my automatic one year suspension of my drivers license for refusing sobriety testing dropped. Not only has Lawrence been very helpful in my past experiences with the law, his staff is also very knowledgeable and always there to assist me with any questions I may have had. Lawrence and has staff have done everything in their power to help me and keep me notified about my cases since the first phone call I made to his office. I have recommended all of family and friends in need of legal assistance to Lawrence since meeting him, and he has also helped them as well as he did me. I would recommend him to any person in need of a lawyer. His services were friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and affordable. I would definitely not hesitate to call Lawrence in the future if I needed his help or just his advice. He is a great lawyer and a great guy to know.
