Trusted Legal Support for White Collar Crimes in Maine
White collar crimes are generally nonviolent crimes committed in a business, professional, or government setting by individuals seeking financial gain at the expense of others. These are serious offenses, especially in cases where large numbers of people have allegedly been victimized.
If you are being investigated or have been charged with a white collar crime, it is crucial that you engage the services of a qualified criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. Your reputation, career, and future may be at stake. If convicted of such a crime, you may be at risk of incarceration, fines, possible restitution, and more. Additionally, a mark on your criminal record will make it more difficult to obtain employment or professional licenses.

Almost any type of fraud in which deceit, false representation, or other forms of misleading information are used can be considered a white collar crime. On a large scale, these crimes often lead to lengthy and exhaustive investigations by law enforcement followed by aggressive prosecution. Because of the intense litigation surrounding such crimes and the penalties they carry, it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side.
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.
