Keep looking

I hired Zimmermann as a defense attorney in my case . He made many promises that he never made good on once he was paid in full. I do not believe he actually had a clue as to what he was doing in the court room . As said in another review I truly believe he trades wins in his cases . He never returns... call or messages or will ever give truthful answers . He never once asked questions about my case , or tried to defend me what so ever . If you are looking for a good defense attorney keep looking , this is not your guy.

Slime

Absolutely awful attorney . Mr Zimmerman did nothing he said he would do , once he’s been paid he is pretty well done with you and your case . He will not return calls or messages or keep you updated on your case at all. Good luck if you hire this guy is all I can say , I would not hire him to clean ...the dog crap off my shoes .

Don’t waste your time

He promised to look into an urgent matter for me and it’s been a month now and several calls and messages left for him and have yet to hear a word.

He DID That

He got my case dismissed and with his skills he can work magic. I never stepped in a court room I was thinking there was no way I could beat this with the lies that where told but he got the job done and thank you again and my family thanks you we can start healing and restoring our family

Breath Of Fresh Air

I must say I have had very poor experiences with Attorneys in the past including my recent DUI. I was recently charged with a probation violation on that case which I knew I was not guilty of, but also knew the judge I would appear before would make it difficult for a favorable decision. I spoke with... several attorneys who at best wanted to plea it out and not fight my case. After speaking with Mr. Zimmerman he was more than willing to represent me and fight for me. He did just that and I walked out of court today innocent of the charges. He was more than worth the money spent and will highly recommend him!
