Posted by Jeffrey | April 25, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Compassionate and effective attorney - couldn't be better.

Bankruptcy is a daunting, nerve-rattling decision. But reaching out to Mr. Zerillo was one of the best decisions of my life. He is highly experienced and very knowledgeable, but also unfailingly patient and kind. He made what could have been a dreadful experience much more manageable and predictab...le. He calmly guided me through the process, and helped improve my situation more than I could have thought possible, all the while explaining every step and each requirement as he deftly moved us through each of them. I trust him completely, and I recommend him unreservedly - my experience could not have been better.

Superior Service and Affordable Fees

Mr. Zerillo guided me through a difficult Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It was my second bankruptcy in less than twenty years and included a foreclosure on a condo. There were some recent property transfers that complicated the issues as well as the need to bring suit against a former employer for unpaid sev...erance pay. I am somewhat elderly (early seventies) and he was patient and thorough even if he had to explain something more than once. Both the positive points as well as the risks involved in my case were explained. Calls were promptly returned and he assisted me in finding an appropriately sized and affordable accounting firm to resolve several years worth of tax returns that I had not filed. If I need further legal assistance I would not hesitate to seek his advice. Not only was this matter resolved successfully, his cost was very modest.
