About Timothy
Timothy Zerillo is the principal of Zerillo Law Office, LLC and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He holds a management role inside a countrywide organization that shapes practice requirements and expert policy. As of 2026 his involvement at the board has put him in ordinary contact with trial attorneys and protection experts throughout the country.
Zerillo constructed his practice around criminal defense work and established his personal firm to handle the matters he takes on. He has steered the company thru a range of casework and administrative responsibilities. Running a small company has required him to balance courtroom preparation with client counseling and workplace management. He manages those demands whilst keeping expert ties beyond his instant practice.
On the NACDL Board of Directors he participates in governance and deliberations that have an effect on protection practitioners. That position includes reviewing policy proposals and contributing to organizational strategy. Board membership also calls for attendance at conferences and a capacity to engage with friends on issues similar to legal ethics, get entry to to counsel, and trial procedure. His presence at the board alerts sustained engagement with the broader felony defense bar instead of a slender, local practice.
Colleagues describe Zerillo as an attorney who prefers direct problem fixing. He is frequently the only dealing with client interviews, developing case theory, and preparing filings. He places realistic worries — evidentiary timing, witness preparation, and case budgeting — at the center of his daily work. His approach is procedural and methodical; he objectives to offer clear alternatives to clients so they can make informed choices.
Outside of his board responsibilities he maintains every day responsibilities at Zerillo Law Office, LLC. The company handles criminal protection things and represents individuals in contested litigation. He continues to oversee legal strategy and client relationships on the company while fulfilling his obligations to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He practices felony defense at Zerillo Law Office, LLC.
