Zimmer Law Group, LLC - St. Paul, MN

Compassionate Immigration and Criminal Defense

Zimmer Law Group, LLC is a dedicated boutique law firm located on the West Side of St. Paul, Minnesota. Established in 2006 by Managing Attorney Julie M. Carlson, the firm serves as a vital resource for immigrant communities locally and globally. The team at Zimmer Law Group understands that immigration issues are not just legal matters-they are life-changing events that affect families, careers, and futures. Their mission is to provide honest, accessible, and high-quality legal representation to individuals from all over the world, helping them navigate the complex U.S. immigration system with dignity and respect.

The firm offers comprehensive services in Immigration Law. They specialize in Family-Based Immigration, helping U.S. citizens and permanent residents petition for their loved ones. They also handle Humanitarian Cases, including asylum, U Visas for victims of crime, and VAWA petitions. A unique strength of the firm is its Criminal Defense practice, which is specifically tailored for non-citizens. Because criminal charges can have devastating consequences on immigration status, their attorneys are experts in the intersection of these two fields (often called "crimmigration"). They fight to protect clients from deportation while aggressively defending them against DWI, domestic assault, and other criminal charges.

Key Areas of Practice

• Family Immigration: Marriage-based green cards, fiancé visas, and consular processing.
• Deportation Defense: Representation in removal proceedings before the Immigration Court.
• Humanitarian Relief: Asylum applications, U Visas, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS).
• Citizenship: Guiding lawful permanent residents through the naturalization process.
• Criminal Defense: specialized defense for immigrants facing DWI, theft, or assault charges to minimize immigration consequences.

The firm prides itself on being a multilingual office, with a staff fully capable of offering representation in English and Spanish. Their logo, a butterfly, symbolizes migration and transformation, reflecting their commitment to guiding clients through their personal journeys. If you need to find a lawyer who treats you like family and fights for your right to build a life in America, Zimmer Law Group is an exceptional choice.
