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

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!

The review for "Don't Gamble your Case" is how I felt during my case. Its determined by the lawyers, the judge just signs off on what they come up with and adds his input/modifications.

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. Best lawyer I’ve ever had.

I hired Mr. Zimmerman to represent me following my divorce on family law matters. He did absolutely nothing for me but take my money. I hired him based on his AVVO rating. That was a huge mistake. I would not recommend him for anything to do with divorce or family law.

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.

I had a new case to the court system so was going to be complicated case. I know most lawyers in town who do family law and i wanted someone out side the box to consult with. The best decision i ever made in my case was to call Mr Zimmermanns practice. My son is a uniformed deployed soldier and a single father his childs mother would only allow him to be home(lives in our home) on her terms while my son is deployed.We opted as a family to go to court under new laws for deployed soldiers and child visitation. Mr. Zimmermann researched the new laws BEFORE he even took the case at no charge to me.He was up front on what we were we up against with the new laws,but in the end Our grandson is continuing his weekly visitation in our/his home as per his fathers request to the court. Mr. Zimmermann kept up contact with me through the whole process,i did not feel like just another number/grandparent in the system that was taken advantage of financialy or otherwise.Anytime i sent an email it was promptly answered by him or his staff(amy).Mr. Zimmermann was very knowledgable about laws etc. I never felt like we were pushed to just go with what the other attorney wanted. In the end Mr. Zimmermann was the best decision our family made for family law and uniformed deployed soldiers child visitation act. I would recommend this office/Mr. Zimmermann for any case and would definately recommend Mr. Zimmermann to any family or soldier being deployed or deployed and your rights for continued visitation/family visitation are a concern. Mr. Zimmermann thank you from our family.

Mr. Zimmerman was there for me with a strong defense. I won, and in the future will use him as my attorney. He took time to listen to my problems and worked with me on obtaining my objective in my case! He's a wonderful attorney in my book.
