Jacob Andrew Zimmerman

I let Mr. Zimmerman take my custody case in the past. The Cape Girardeau County is known for its "wheel and deal" cases. By this I mean lawyers in this area like to negotiate the cases, like contracts, that have been already determined on which one will win before trial. Just like negotiating a trade..., I’ll give you this win if you give me the next one. This might be determined by how much money each sides representative has, or this might be determined by connections. Sometimes in rare cases its by evidence, mine and most cases will not be. Mr. Zimmerman uses pleas or begging approaches with the judge or attorneys to get someone out of a criminal charge, or a lesser sentence. Which has made his side for criminal defense strong but lacks major documentation when presenting in trials. Custody/Divorce/Family cases on the other hand he uses the "wheel and deal" approach and negotiates with the other attorney before you even go to court. By the time you enter court, the lawyers have already decided what your agreement is going to be and who folded. The judge in this case will file with what the two lawyers have agreed with. This is why you get sent out right before court so the lawyers and the judge can discuss that everyone has agreed on how the proceeding will go. I will not be using Mr. Zimmerman next time. Unless you are good friends with him or have connection, then you might have a better shot in the negotiating table of your case.

I was very impressed with mr. Zimmerman’s services. He has handled multiple cases of mine. Some of which I should have probably gotten time for. But with his diligent work I was able to get off without serving a day. He works hard and always responds to questions in a timely and efficient manner. Bes...t lawyer I’ve ever had.

My loved one was facing a felony charge. I hired Mr. Zimmerman on their behalf while they were in jail. He was able to get them frequent court dates and an excellent deal, made them feel like their case was a high priority, and kept them (and me) informed every step of the way. Thanks to his work, my... loved one was home in time to spend the holidays with family. Mr. Zimmerman's speed, communication, and defense were much needed and appreciated.
