Tim represented me and I couldn’t possibly recommend him highly enough. He is absolutely incredible at what he does - extremely thorough, professional and experienced. I have always felt confident that I am in excellent hands with him on my side. However what makes me endorse his so enthusiastically is his warmth and empathy, always making me feel like I was his only client and as if he was very personally invested in me and my business, even when responding to my anxious 2am emails. If my family member needed a lawyer, Tim is who I would immediately recommend.

“Tim Zerillo will get ALL charges dismissed”
Tim Zerillo will get ALL charges dismissed, nuff said. Maybe, just maybe, in a worst case scenario, he'll get the charges down from 25 federal felonies to a single misdemeanor charge. Not too bad for worst case.
