Congrats to Associate Attorney Damian Ramsdell who received a 5 star review from a client today:

I had the pleasure of working with Damian Ramsdell on a complex legal matter, and I can confidently say that he exceeded all of my expectations. From our first consultation, Damian made me feel at ease with his deep understanding of the law and his compassionate approach to my situation. I was very worried that my case wouldn’t go in my favor before we hired Damian but I couldn’t be more thankful. Throughout the case, Damian was incredibly diligent, always keeping me informed and explaining each step of the process in clear, understandable terms. His strategic thinking and attention to detail were key factors in the successful resolution of my case. Damian's professionalism is matched by his genuine care for his clients. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and he made me feel like my case was a top priority. His dedication and hard work made a difficult time in my life much more manageable, and I am deeply grateful for his support. If you're looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly committed to achieving the best outcome for his clients, I highly recommend Damian Ramsdell. He is an outstanding attorney and a true advocate for his clients.

Honored to be a part of this amazing faculty for 's Albert Krieger Annual Seminar in Seattle. Looking forward to seeing terrific criminal defense lawyers and friends from across all across the U.S. next week.

Sketched in action…

Time to hang another one of these

What an honor to speak to the fantastic Idaho Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in Sun Valley, Idaho. These dedicated and talented lawyers do inspiring work and it is a privilege to get to hang with them. What a terrific affiliate!

I feel like I should be hosting Masterpiece Theater with this photo . 😂 excited to be involved in this business of law track at the Albert J. Krieger Annual in Seattle this year. I also close out the conference this year with my sentencing talk: “Redemption Songs: Making Your Client’s Story Sing At Sentencing.” See you in Seattle! (By the way, I know the Nirvana-related theme of “Come As You Are” likely means I should have used that song for this post, but I like “In Bloom” better so there you go)

ZLF Founder Timothy Zerillo quoted in today's Press Herald

Barring defendant from seeing arrest affidavit isn’t too unusual, experts say Barring defendant from seeing arrest affidavit isn’t too unusual, experts say

An Ex-Detective’s Overturned Murder Cases Have Cost New York $110 Million Louis N. Scarcella, a former N.Y.P.D. detective, was accused of framing dozens of people for murder. The city and state have paid a steep price to settle claims over the past decade.

Teaching yesterday for to an audience of nearly 450 criminal defense lawyers from across the USA. It is an absolute honor to pay it forward to an organization that is truly liberty’s last champion and to be among criminal defense lawyers who fight the good fight for their clients.

Thanks Best Lawyers for the ranking!

ZLF Founder Timothy Zerillo is interviewed by the Press Herald on the failure to disclose constitutionally required discovery in today's paper.

Maine AG’s office disagrees with judge’s criticism on late disclosures, but promises changes Defense attorneys say they struggle regularly with prosecutors waiting too long to share constitutionally mandated evidence.

Kennebunk doctor accused of overprescribing opioids asks judge to dismiss criminal charges Federal prosecutors filed new charges against Meredith Norris, 52, this month for improperly prescribing opioids and other controlled substances. Her attorneys argue the charges exceed federal prosecutors' authority.

Thanks to "Best Lawyer's In America" for recognizing Timothy Zerillo in the category of "White Collar Criminal Defense."

Thanks to our Client for this review!

Congrats to the man, Michael Heiskell, on his swearing on as President of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He is a man of character, honor and leadership. He will be a tremendous asset to in his year as Prez.

Thanks to our client for leaving this review of our representation in her federal criminal case!

Quite a journey so far on this one. From a 2012 shooting in Portland to a plea to felony murder 11 years later to the day. To be clear, because some of the news reports are not, the murder charge is to be dropped at the final hearing. This is significant because murder in Maine is 25 to life. Our client will do 12 years, less good time and credit for time served. While these are difficult choices - and we were ready and excited for trial - I can’t blame anyone who faces an uncertain 25 to life for the shooting of 3 people - to take a certain 12 year sentence (less good time and credit for time served). It has been a pleasure to work on this case with co-counsel Caleigh Milton who’s advice and legal work is invaluable. The State courts will certainly miss your move to the feds. And also thanks for the support of .sweatt and all of the ZLF team, who let me focus nearly entirely on this case 7 days a week for a while now.

Closing out 2022 with the dismissal of a Class A Aggravated Trafficking and Class B Conspiracy Indictment. We have been litigating this case for over a year and the State decided to dismiss the case entirely before our next motion hearing (which was scheduled in early January). A Christmas miracle? Not quite, but a gift for our very relieved client regardless!

What a great honor and way to close out the year for Timothy Zerillo to be added to NACDL 's "Best of the Best" list for 2022.
