Your trusted lawyer

Our family was stopped while travelling and a family member was taken in custody. Our life was thrown into chaos while we tried to figure out what was going on. We found out that someone who had grudges and personal jealousy from the past had made allegations of a sexual nature and brought a case. ... Lawrence and his team took the time to listen to us. At that time when we reached out in the beginning, he was out of town and still took on our case. Based on Lawrence's advice we were able to get a consent bond and had the family member out on bail. Lawrence worked with us to get as much background information as possible to prepare for the case. While looking into the allegations in more detail, Lawrence determined that the case was weak. The information contained in the allegations also did not match the detailed facts about our life. We could also see that the person making the allegations wanted more than anything to hurt us in the process and upend our family life. Lawrence and his team worked hard, provided reassurance and guidance when we needed it and responded to our emails for information in time. Lawrence worked with the DA and eventually the prosecutor dropped the case. The whole process took months and it was a challenging time, but Lawrence was there on our side. Lawrence is a sharp lawyer and is also a respected voice in the court. Lawrence knows the law very well and he keeps on working for his clients. Lawrence is also proactive as he keeps on preparing for what comes next ahead of time. I learnt something in this ordeal - false allegations can happen to good people, but if that happens to you then you need Lawrence on your side. I highly recommend Lawrence. My family are very grateful to Lawrence and his team. Thank you!

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.

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.

Lawrence Zimmerman- Exceptional Lawyer who saved my family

I was falsely accused of aggravated sexual battery and quickly went to Lawrence's office where he showed support and knowledge of what to do next. I felt confident choosing him to represent me. Lawrence teams with J.T. of Spearhead Investigations and because of J.T.'s detective work, he was able to... find the claimant had falsely accused another man of rape within the year and that case was closed due to lies. He represented me at the Preliminary hearing and I was very impressed by his preparation and intelligence. Although I was given an arrest warrant and went in myself, further investigation went underway, and Lawrence remained in touch and focused on getting the accusations dismissed. The bond hearing kept getting rescheduled but I had patience in the process and confidence in Lawrence. After a couple of months, he presented the facts at the bond hearing and I was granted bail. In addition to J.T., Lawrence suggested Norman Cuadra a fellow lawyer and judge, to work as a witness representation for a 3rd party. The teamwork and communication between everyone and the DA worked in our favor and because of Lawrence's attention to detail and logic the case was ultimately dismissed without an indictment. They knew what they were up against. The nightmare is over and he is now working on getting the accusations taken off of the arrest record. Lawrence Zimmerman is an exceptional lawyer! I highly recommend him! Patience and persistence paid off and despite the circumstances I have no doubt in my mind he was placed in my life at the right time to help me and ultimately kept my family together. Thank you Lawrence! Our family is forever grateful!
