Defending Your Rights
Experienced. Determined. Effective.

The firm was established in 2001 by Attorney Eugene Zingaro and Attorney Donald Cretella with Attorney Steven Rasile becoming partner in 2022. Gene and Don attended Fairfield University together where they became lifelong friends and had similar goals of building a law firm that is committed to providing passionate, knowledgeable and invaluable representation to all of their clients. Since the addition of Steven Rasile, along with dedicated and accomplished associates, they have not only been able to meet that goal but have exceeded it.  

With more than 70 years of combined experience, Zingaro, Cretella & Rasile are more than qualified to represent you or your loved one’s best interests. They have primarily focused on criminal defense, family law, and civil litigation, however, Attorney Rasile adds his active real estate practice to the firm as well. Through the years they have had an abundance of success getting exceptional results. Zingaro, Cretella & Rasile offer free consultations to help you better evaluate the risks and understand your options. Call today to get an aggressive, skilled lawyer on your side!

I Highly recommend this law firm! Don Cretella will take excellent care of you! - Timmy B.

QUESTIONS TO ASK A POTENTIAL ATTORNEY?

Zingaro, Cretella & Rasile have 70+ years of combined experience.

Zingaro, Cretella & Rasile have represented thousands of respective clients. 

Negotiation. That is the primary function of an attorney.  Communication with the State or Federal prosecutor in good faith is essential.   A good attorney will exhaust all resources to negotiate a fair and reasonable compromise for his client.  What happens, however, if the government is being unreasonable or will not negotiate in good faith? What happens if an agreement is not possible…a compromise out of the question?  This is when you need a trial lawyer.  This is when you need Zingaro, Cretella & Rasile.

Zingaro, Cretella & Rasile will be direct in informing you if your case can be handled through arbitration or other out of court arrangements. We respect and understand that a quick resolution is in your best interest mentally and financially. If arrangements are not an option, we stand ready to fight for you.

We refuse to give you the answer you want to hear. We will be direct in providing you with an honest answer of your situation, options, challenges as well as strategies moving forward.
