FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is it Important to Have an Attorney?

The United States Constitution and its amendments offer robust protections to defendants in criminal cases. While students learn about these rights in an abstract sense, most people do not know all the details about what defendants, police officers, judges, and lawyers can and cannot do during a criminal investigation or criminal trial. You know that you have the right to remain silent, but do you know when that right applies?

Criminal defense lawyers know all of the details related to crimes, investigations, and the procedures of the criminal courts. Your lawyer can help you avoid making mistakes that could lead to you being wrongfully convicted, assuming that pleading guilty is your only choice, or missing out on opportunities to have the court reduce your charges or dismiss the case against you.

What Does Your Attorney Do for You?

If a criminal defense attorney’s job was only to prove that defendants are innocent, then no one would choose to go into this line of work, because it would be their job to do the impossible. Some people who hire criminal defense lawyers know that they have broken the law, and in some cases, it is one person’s word against another’s about whether a crime occurred, so it is impossible for anyone who was not present at the moment of the alleged crime to know with certainty what happened. Instead, a criminal defense attorney’s job is to help people who are being accused of crimes exercise their rights.

If your case goes to trial, your lawyer will summon witnesses to attest to your innocence or to cast doubt on the prosecution’s version of the story; your lawyer will also cross-examine the witnesses summoned by the prosecution. Most criminal cases do not go to trial, though. Criminal defense lawyers also help defendants negotiate plea deals so they can avoid long prison sentences and other draconian punishments. They also help eligible defendants enter pretrial diversion programs and successfully complete these programs. Criminal defense lawyers also provide legal guidance to defendants during questioning by police, even when the defendant has not yet formally received criminal charges.

What are the Benefits of Having an Attorney in GA?

Representation by an attorney is a basic legal right of defendants in criminal cases. The court appoints public defenders to represent defendants who cannot afford to hire their own lawyers. If you have any means to hire your own lawyer, though, you should do it. Unlike public defenders, criminal defense lawyers in private practice are allowed to choose the cases they represent, whereas public defenders must take every case assigned to them, leaving them too overburdened with work to devote their full attention to every case. Your drug possession case is not your lawyer’s priority if he is also representing another defendant who is facing murder charges. Furthermore, some criminal defense lawyers choose to focus on certain types of cases, meaning that your lawyer has extensive, up-to-date knowledge on cases similar to yours.

Words can’t even begin to describe how truly amazing Mr. Zimmerman and his son Brad are. I’ve unfortunately had my fair share of struggles but Berry and Brad truly make you feel no shame or embarrassment and they really treat you and every case top priority. They’re always available via text, email, call , or even an in person visit. They respond quickly and efficiently with great advice, attention and communication. I will NEVER use another law firm. They are truly worth every cent. Nice genuine gentleman who really are interested in getting what’s best for YOU. No matter your situation I highly HIGHLY recommend you give them a call at the very least. Thank you Zimmerman family, you’re one of the few that make me feel okay in a scary situation.

I have had a very long-term relationship with Zimmerman & Associates. I had a serious violation back in 2010 but had to leave town soon thereafter to take care of my mother who was sick. When I was finally able to get back to Atlanta to take care of my legal situation, Barry with Brad’s assistance was right here waiting to be my defense. They never waivered or requested more money since so much time had passed. They did their jobs amazingly and got my serious violation reduced to something I can manage. You will get the best defense possible with Zimmerman & Associates.

Barry was amazing to work with, he was very thorough and was very quick to respond if I had any questions. He stayed on top of the case the entire time so I didn’t have to worry about it. Highly recommend reaching out to his firm if you are in need of a good attorney.
