Lawrence Zimmerman saved my life!

June 25, 2020

I was falsely accused of a sex crime and my life fell apart immediately. Every lawyer I spoke with prior to hiring Lawrence ONLY cared about the money. Most of them weren’t even going to do anything until I got arrested. Thankfully, I hired the best Lawyer in the state of Georgia. Lawrence jumped in front of situation and thankfully got the case dismissed before any arrest were made. Lawrence did not promise me anything, but assured me he would try his best. That he did, and today I am a free man because of it. Lawrence Zimmerman saved my life and I can’t thank him enough.

The Guy You Need on Your Side!

May 12, 2019

We hired Lawrence to help us fight a serious false allegation. Someone seeking retribution claimed I sexually assaulted someone. My life was turned upside down. Lawrence and his team were the calm in the midst of chaos. He worked hard, stayed in constant contact, and ultimately won our case! He knows the law backwards and forwards. Nothing got by him. He and his team are strategic, compassionate, passionate, talented and highly skilled. When you need someone in your corner he is the guy for the job.

Beyond Excellent

March 13, 2019

My family and I came to Lawrence with a huge problem 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.

Saved My Life and that of my family

February 3, 2019

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.

A Lawyer for Lawyers

January 24, 2019

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.

Extremely Pleased

March 2, 2018

I was in the very unfamiliar and terrifying spot of being accused of a sex crime. I reached out to Lawrence after seeing all the other positive reviews (plus I saw he had worked on high profile cases so I figured he must be solid under pressure which he is) and to say it was a great decision would be an understatement.

Lawrence is an extremely hard worker (his phone never shuts off) who makes the client feel like the center of his world when they’re dealing with a major personal crisis.

Working on your case, he’s very proactive and goes on the offense to get things resolved for his clients. And again, available anytime and keeps you informed every step of the way.

Lastly, he’s supportive and positive but levels with his clients so they know where they stand.

He would earn a sixth star here if that was an option

Lawrence Zimmerman- Exceptional Lawyer who saved my family

January 19, 2018

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!

Thank you Mr. Zimmerman!

January 2, 2018

My 18 year old son was falsely accused of Aggravated Sodomy. We were referred to Mr. Zimmerman by a friend and was seen by him immediately. I was happy to see his resume and that he knew what he was doing. He never promised us any out come but told us how we need to proceed . I was very happy with the outcome. I would recommend him to anybody that is in need of his expertise.

Great Lawyer
December 14, 2017

Mr. Zimmerman saved my son from a serious charge of molestation and statutory rape. He was able to get the charges dropped, with no arrest record. He is a very qualified attorney, and will use his legal knowledge to fight for justice for you. I highly recommend him.

I'll Never Look for Another Criminal Defense Lawyer

June 8, 2017

Lawrence came highly recommended and now I see why. He is clearly an accomplished and talented veteran in his field and genuinely personable as well. He put us at ease immediately, quickly understood the situation, and took immediate action.

He helped our family through a precarious situation when a serious sexual accusation was made against our teenage child.

We highly recommend him.

Amazing Legal Support & Leadership

January 14, 2017

I was falsely accused of sexual assault/rape but felt I needed immediate legal representation. I reached out to Lawrence via email (thru website) and he contacted me back within the hour and stated he could speak to me at 9pm at night! I accepted! Although he had to make an out of town business trip he put together an immediate strategy and specific action plan that we would follow together over the next 5-7 days. This plan included doing interviews with his personal investigator (JT), pictures, references, etc. JT is a first-class addition to Lawrence's team and proved to be extremely valuable through the process. Lawrence and JT developed a very thorough package that was presented to the detectives. The plan and 'client package' that Lawrence laid out for me was executed flawlessly and at the end of the day was ultimately the reason why my case was officially closed by the detectives. Lawrence and his team (JT and staff) are FIRST-CLASS.... Period! I would highly recommend Lawerence's services to anyone in need of an experienced, very personable, no-nonsense lawyer.

Can't put into words how thankful I am

December 1, 2016

I would like to start by saying that when nobody else wanted to help me, or only wanted to speak with me to obtain their consultation fee and show me the door, Lawrence was there to listen to my story and my troubles. He truly cared about me and my situation and was very understanding and informative. I told my story and he was the only one to believe me. I was charged with 2 felony charges. Felony child molestation and felony aggravated child molestation. I was facing 25+ years in prison.

Lawrence, through all his hard work, helped me bring the charges down to misdemeanors and am now only facing a couple years probation, compared to 25+ years of imprisonment. Even at the beginning, when I learned that I was issued a warrant, I was not suppose to be able to post bail. He fought for me and allowed me to be able to leave, not in a day, but within HOURS of walking in and turning myself in. If I had not had Lawrence to help me with my bail, I would have lost 8+ months of income and would have lost my job. I would have just been sitting in a jail cell waiting for my trial, and if that had happened, I would have not even been able to pay for ANY attorney.

The case dragged on for 8 months, and during that time, I never once felt that he had forgotten about me. I would call him, and he would instantly know what I was talking about and never got my case confused with another he was working on. That is how dedicated he was to helping me. I would always be able to reach him and his correspondence to emails.

Whenever I asked Lawrence about my case, he never gave me false hope or said "I think I can do that" just to make me feel better. He gave me everything I needed to make an informed decision. In that way, I knew what was coming and never felt blind-sided by anything. I cannot express how thankful I am to him and would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family if they were to ever come across legal problems. I implore anyone that reads this review, If you are looking for an attorney, look no further. He is the one that can help you, like he has helped me.

Outstanding Lawyer

September 2, 2015

I am a summer camp counselor and a child bit me and at first she said she bit me because she lost the game. Then the camp got a call from her mother saying that I touched her inappropriately. I had a meeting with DFCS and I didn't hear any news of the case until a month later until two detectives showed up at my front door asking for my side of the story. My family and I decided to get a lawyer before talking to the detectives. Thats when we had a meeting with Lawrence Zimmerman and JT Summers. I told them my story and they both believed me immediately. When the meeting was over I knew I was in great hands. JT was the investigator and he got all of the details from everyone and he was excellent. Lawrence decided I should take a Polygraph test just in case. I took the Polygraph test and I passed. Lawrence talked to the detectives to find out if they are arresting me or just want to talk. He decided that we should have the meeting with the police. The day before the meeting JT and Lawrence asked me questions just how the detectives would so I am prepared. I had a meeting with the detective and Lawrence was in the room next to me. She just asked me questions about if I was ever alone with her and just wanted to here my side of the story. I found out that day that the case was dropped and I was innocent and the detective said all of the stories lined up. This false accusation that this child made could have ruined my life. I loved working with kids. Now I will never work with kids again. Lawrence is outstanding. He cared and believed that I was innocent. Getting Lawrence was the best decision my family and I made. Thank you again Lawrence for everything.

Helped get my life back while against difficult odds

August 25, 2015

When the unfounded charges of child molestation and sexual battery were setting me up for doomed trial, and possible years in prison, I felt like my public and professional life was over.

The effect of the charges' public nature were like a red letter brazened on my back, visible on the internet and known to anyone in my social circles who might have heard of my situation. Wherever I went, whether it was job-hunting, church, or even social gatherings among peers, I wondered if those around me had seen the red letter (my charges), and if I had to explain my situation to every one of them. It was exhausting, and I was losing friendships while waiting for my nightmarish future to pan out.

Lawrence took my case and worked tirelessly in the background, and in the end, helped to do the seemingly impossible: not only protect me from unfair sentencing and imprisonment, but help me keep my life as well. Together with his investigator JT Summers, and the rest of his great team, Lawrence helped me plea to a misdemeanor and I was dismissed on misdemeanor probation (rather than felony probation), with full expunging after the probation period ended.

Because of his (and his team's) diligence and success, he gets top marks from me.

Highly Recommended.

Best Lawyer. Super Pro Active

April 18, 2015

Lawrence Zimmerman is the best attorney out there in Atlanta. I was being investigated for rape. This was definitely the worst period I’ve been through so far in my life. My entire future was in jeopardy. The police gave me a call and they wanted to talk to me regarding a false rape accusation. After personally meeting with some of the top lawyers in the area and doing good amount of research I decided to go with Lawrence and investigator JT Summers of spearhead investigations. Lawrence is proactive not reactive. He started on the case the day I met him because time was of the essence. They gathered every piece of evidence that was out there as soon as possible and used it perfectly. Rape accusations are hard to get out of but Lawrence was able to saved me and my future. He is not only a technically smart great lawyer but has the foresight for all the things that could go wrong. I am grateful for all he and investigator summers did and for handling my case absolutely perfectly. I very highly recommend him.

Sex Offender Removal

March 1, 2013

This is the "Best" attorney in atlanta and worth every penny!!! I had come to Lawrence Zimmerman to be taken off the sex offender registry in Georgia. Lawrence was always on top of my case and when ever I had a question regarding the sex offender laws, he was always there to give me a answer. I was successfully removed from the Sex Offender registry and now I have my life back and can spend it with my Son, and go to all of his school activities that I have missed for 9 years. I highly recommend Lawrence to anyone looking to be removed off this Georgia sex offender registry, He is outstanding!!
