According to an article written by [https://www.ajc.com/neighborhoods/north-fulton/former-alpharetta-judge-was-personal-attorney-for-city-prosecutor/QIU2EWWPXNFELMVGU6ICOX4KKE/ Adrianne Murchison and published in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution] in July of 2022, the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) found "reasonable cause" that Zimmerman "violated the code of judicial conduct.” It has since been confirmed that while Zimmerman was acting as the Alpharetta Municipal Court Judge, he "presided over thousands of cases argued by a solicitor who had hired him to be her private attorney," which is of course a conflict of interest. | According to an article written by [https://www.ajc.com/neighborhoods/north-fulton/former-alpharetta-judge-was-personal-attorney-for-city-prosecutor/QIU2EWWPXNFELMVGU6ICOX4KKE/ Adrianne Murchison and published in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution] in July of 2022, the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) found "reasonable cause" that Zimmerman "violated the code of judicial conduct.” It has since been confirmed that while Zimmerman was acting as the Alpharetta Municipal Court Judge, he "presided over thousands of cases argued by a solicitor who had hired him to be her private attorney," which is of course a conflict of interest. | ||

In a [https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/alpharetta-judge-presided-over-cases-represented-defendants-same-time-investigation-finds/HUPKU3OKHJBU5A6RV67BXLB2Z4/ story by Bryan Mims of WSB-TV], it was reported that Zimmerman acted as both lawyer and judge in at least six cases dating back to 2008. Zimmerman denied the accusations. According to the investigation by the City of Alpharetta: "Instead of removing the case from the Municipal Court of Alpharetta to the State Court of Fulton County, Judge Zimmerman would negotiate the case with Solicitor Fran McQueen, use attorney Keith Brandon as a ‘straw man’ defense attorney on a plea in absentia and then have another Judge for the Municipal Court sign the orders." | In a [https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/alpharetta-judge-presided-over-cases-represented-defendants-same-time-investigation-finds/HUPKU3OKHJBU5A6RV67BXLB2Z4/ story by Bryan Mims of WSB-TV], it was reported that Zimmerman acted as both lawyer and judge in at least six cases dating back to 2008.
