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 didn't 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 knowledgeable and very talented. In times of court, he was the best speaking, most polite, knowledgeable, 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 don't 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.
