Strategic Legal Counsel for Businesses
Legal Counsel That Understands Your Business and Where It's Going
Zhilo Law provides strategic legal counsel for the decisions, opportunities and challenges businesses face, from everyday legal needs and complex disputes to the questions that come with your growth.
Our Philosophy
Most businesses call their lawyer when something goes wrong.
Zhilo Law is built around a different idea. Legal counsel is most valuable when it is already part of your business, when your attorney understands your operations, your goals and the decisions that shaped you.
That context is what turns legal advice into strategic counsel.
Outside General Counsel

The Outside General Counsel model gives businesses access to experienced, integrated legal counsel without the cost of in-house hiring. Zhilo Law serves as a strategic legal partner embedded in your business, providing the context, continuity and business understanding that makes counsel more valuable over time.

Long-Term Relationships

What clients say
Working with Roxanne has been one of the best investments I've made for my business. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and takes the time to explain complex legal matters in a way that is easy to understand. I always feel confident knowing my business is protected and that my questions are answered thoroughly. What stands out most is her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to her clients' success.
Vicki S. - Therapy/Mental Health
I've hired many attorneys over the past year as I'm dealing with a number of issues from probate to custody and divorce and more. Roxanne is the best attorney by far. She handled a case for me in Doylestown PA (Bucks County) and in a short amount of time was able to understand a very complicated situation because she actually took the time to listen and ask the right questions. She was fantastic during preliminary and I can tell she's also not afraid to speak up during litigation. She made sure the court followed statutes that were being overlooked for months. Other attorneys could not seem to accomplish what Roxanne did for me. If you're looking for an intelligent and trustworthy attorney that will fight for you then you found the right person in Roxanne Zhilo. I am forever grateful. She saved me. Thank you!
Frank R., Professional Home Services
Roxanne is an exceptional attorney. When we first reached out to her, we were going through an incredibly stressful time, as many do when seeking legal help. From the start, she was upfront, honest, and displayed remarkable intelligence and strategic thinking. Her deep understanding of the facts of our case was impressive, she knew them as well as we did. Roxanne is an aggressive advocate who genuinely cares about her clients and fights tirelessly on their behalf. We couldn't have asked for better representation. Thank you Counselor.
