Timothy E. Zerillo

Tim got my case dismissed with out me having to even go to court by far the best lawyer ever .

Tim took my case and immediately went to the location of my fall to see for himself the dangerous slope of my walkway. I never had to check in as I was always getting updates on what was going on with my case. The office staff were all friendly and professional. I hopefully never have the need for services again but I would call Zerillo Law office in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything.

No one expects to need a lawyer, but when you do, call Tim. He cares about the outcome of your case. I’ll paint a picture. You’re young. You’ve never been “in trouble” a day in your life, but you’ve found yourself in an unfortunate situation. You google “criminal defense lawyer” and call the first name that comes up; it’s Tim. When you get arrested life hits hard and it hits fast. You lose your job, your life changed over night, and the life you’ve built for yourself up until now seems likes it’s already over. The anxiety consumes you. Now it’s your first day in court; it’s been a long day already. The guy right before “you’re up” mouths-off to the judge, and the judge YELLS at him. Now your name is being called and your racing thoughts are saying, “Is this like tv? Is the judge going to take out his anger on me? Am I going to jail now?”. Here it is, the moment of truth and Tim stands up for you. You’ve heard about bad lawyers and you don’t know him other than a name on a website. But you look up; the judge’s eyebrows perk up, he smiles and says, “Mr. Zerillo, it’s nice to see you.”, and the crushing weight of the world lifts off of your shoulders. Tim maintained a level of professionalism, competence, and swift persistence that I had never seen before in my life, and i’m a college educated former career fireman. The case had a positive outcome, and although I’ve had changes in my life since then, I’ve experienced a level of success that I never felt before. I’ve switched careers, my income is double what it used to be, I’m a homeowner, I’m engaged, and I’m expecting my first child, and I owe it all to Tim.

Outstanding experience dealing with the Zerillo Team. Professional, responsive, managed expectations, and guided me through the Legal process.....went above and beyond exceed deliverables and expectations

Tim, is a very excellent lawyer , I highly recommend him ,I was in some serious trouble with the government, and he got me out of it ,I never had a lawyer who is so determined , so dedicated , to help a client out, he will help you every step of the way.

Attorney Zerillo handled my case brilliantly. He did so with the utmost competence, clarity, reassurance and even with a little of humor, which helped put me a bit more at ease during a difficult time. I would highly recommend Tim and his team to anyone in need of such services.

When only the best is needed, Tim is your go to guy. The US government raided my home and took cameras, checking accounts, documents etc in a raid that was a total shock to me. While the raid was happening I phoned Tim and he showed up to my home within 30 minutes!! The FBI, Maine state police, local police and special agents were all here. Tim handled them and they left. That was the most terrifying time of my life. Tim made it a whole lot less! Take my word for it, when you need a lawyer call Tim Zerillo the first time, why settle for second best. By the way, the Government finely returned my records and are no longer pursuing me!!

I came across Attorney Zerillo after a family member helped research top criminal defense attorneys in the state of Maine. After having a previous attorney, from a large firm, even with great ratings and other research, that attorney/firm was nowhere near in comparison to Attorney Tim Zerillo and his team. I was fortunate to have found Tim and switched to him and his team. I call him Tim because he didnt belittle his clients or make them feel less than or as if they were less important. He cares about his clients and wants you to call him by his first name because he realizes we are all humans and can be wrongfully convicted (in my case here), or for some even make mistakes. He is extremely knowledgable and very talented. In times of court, he was the best speaking, most polite, knowledgable, and best dressed defense attorney out of at least a dozen+ that I counted. His office staff are excellent and very kind and professional. I would not suggest going to a large firm, regardless of their rating. I did that and wasted a lot of money. They dont seem to care anywhere near as much as Attorney Tim Zerillo would, unless you are a large corporate player or well known customer in the firm with a lot of money....which even then, they probably still wouldn't come close to Attorney Tim Zerillo. Therefore, I will always give Tim the highest rating, though his true high rating is nowhere near the max of this website.

Tim Zerillo has provided an outstanding service and resolved the case with an excellent outcome, when my options were limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed high to impossible. Tim not only carefully weighed all the options, his calm and empathetic demeanor provided me with much needed confidence. He is very attentive and responded to all my questions and concerns with utmost sincerity at every step of the process. He went above and beyond in handling my case, and I am very pleased with the final results. I would highly recommend Tim Zerillo’s law firm without any reservations.

I had been dealing with my ex-husband who lives in England, for nearly 8 years involving multiple attempts by him to get custody of our children, modify parental rights and visitation, modify them again, and again, adjust child maintenance, flight costs, health insurance, etc etc., as well as the marital divorce and financial matters that are treated separately in an English Divorce, and as a result of all of this and moving geographically multiple times throughout having dealt with at least 6 other lawyers between both countries, including an International Custody Expert to assist with the threat of Hague Proceedings (International Kidnapping Charges) my ex was threatening even though he gave written consent for our move... what a relief to find Tim!! Tim was excellent in keeping me calm and level headed throughout the process. The result was a pre-trial settlement in favor of the children's wishes with only a few outstanding financial items that I refused to concede to as they were based on lies by my ex, so on the day of trial, my ex was awarded some compensation from me for what he said was a deliberate attempt by me to delay booking of airline flights to increase his costs (completely false) however... while we could have fought this and the outcome I am 100% certain would have gone in my favor, Tim advised that the cost involved for him to prepare my defense to fight this false claim far outweighed the amount the judge would order. And he was right. I had to pay some small sum, less than $1,000, and in the end it saved me thousands in Tim's time to prepare to defend it. I feel Tim had my best interests at heart all along and am grateful for an ethical attorney. And eternally grateful that my children did not have to be put on the stand or be relocated back to England after we had been pushed and pulled back on two separate occasions before I got wise and hired a lawyer. After the trial concluded here in Maine in 2017 unfortunately my ex did not stop there, and almost immediately filed again in England, and failed. Needless to say, the costs have been outrageous and I only regret, it's the children who have suffered the stress and strain of me, and their father, being in constant conflict and a life focused almost entirely on "court" for 9 years defending our right to live... free. And the loss of income that could have gone to supporting them and their future... close to and possibly in excess of $100,000 in the end. I only wish I had Tim on my team from Day 1.

Last year my wife and I went through the most difficult year of our lives. We were falsely accused of horrendous child abuse by the mother of my sons, with whom I had separated in 2013, and with whom I share custody of my children. My wife and I endured nearly eight months of total separation from the kids, all while defending ourselves from unthinkable and disgusting accusations. The stress was unimaginable and the legal threat was all too real. Seeing we were in for a fight, we hired Tim based on his online reputation. I can say without hesitation that his reputation is well deserved. Tim was always available and supportive. He deftly navigated the highs and lows of that terrible time and restored my sons to us. He literally saved my family and I could never thank him enough. It’s clear that he is a skilled lawyer, but what’s more important, he has shown himself to be a good man. He is kind and understanding and extremely prepared. He is smart and he is gracious. You can tell he loves his family and he believes in justice for those he defends. I am eternally grateful to him and wish him continued success.

Tim, went out of his way to assist me when I was in need. At the time his case load was full and he was unable to take on another case but he went out of his way to try and assist me in finding alternate council, he gave up an incredible amount of his personal time. It is not everyday you meet someone this caring in life I am beyond appreciative!

The amount of knowledge, compassion, and depth to understand difficult regulations by Tim is Bar None! Tim’s ability to asses your worries and make you feel safe in a time that’s crazy is invaluable. Tim is my go to Man. I recommended Tim to a family friend for their son and they could not be more greatful for Tims outcome and the care and Knowledge he displays. To top it all Tims couth and Grace on my matter made the difference. TY Tim

Tim did a superb job putting me at ease while preparing my case, and demonstrated a well-deserved confidence and masterful knowledge of the law. He was consistently patient and accommodating with my frequent requests and questions, and responded promptly every time. I highly encourage you to contact him if you’re ever in need of a lawyer.

Tim zerillo was tremendous, super helpful and considerate with my case. He got my case dismissed in no time which saved me a lot time, money and stress. Great guy! Thank you again :)
