Ms.

Best attorney ever hands down he listens he is not in it just because of the money he’s knowledgeable and there for his clients. You want a good outcome hire Attorney Sherman

Pardon

I held onto his name for 6 years until I was ready, as he knows the pardon system well and came highly recommended! He will not take your case, and your money, unless he believes it is viable and meets the conditions for expungement! His office is responsive and available when you need them!

Contact Attorney Sherman only if you need The Best!

Attorney Sherman helped me get my Life back! He handled my DUI & weapon charge (carrying a weapon while intoxicated) with the utmost professionalism & competence. My criminal record has been expunged & my CT Pistol Permit has been reinstated. Because of COVID, the whole process took close to three y...ears but the outcome couldn’t be better. It is quite obvious that Mr. Sherman is an expert in this field of law. I am a lawyer myself and I can say, with total confidence, that Mr. Sherman is extremely competent, professional & knowledgeable. The proof is in the result. He promised me that he would handle my case expecting “good” results. The results were not only “good”, they were exceptionally good! I highly recommend Attorney Sherman to anyone who needs The Best CT has to offer, in terms of a lawyer with expertise & competence. I feel secure in knowing that should I ever need an attorney, Mr. Sherman is there for me. I am not a particularly religious person but, in this case, I think Ralph Sherman was a Godsend! I will forever be thankful and I will forever behave lawfully. That is my promise to him!

Pistol permit

My pistol permit was revoked by false accusations made by my ex. When my case was dismissed my lawyer tried to get it back but he couldn't. It was time to reach out to Attorney Sherman who is the best. He called me very quickly with good news. He got my pistol permit back!!! I was screaming with joy ...(sorry for that Mr.Sherman ;)). I am so happy for his help. It was worth every penny. Thank you so much. I am really grateful. Maggie

Pistol permit

I hired Attorny Sherman after being turned down for my pistol permit. He assured me That he would be able to get my request for permit granted. He stood by his word and did just that. I now have my pistol permit. Without him I otherwise would not have my right as an American to carry my pistol. I hig...hly recommend attorney Ralph Sherman to anyone who has been denied their right to carry a firearm with a permit. Thank you Attorny Sherman.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Whenever a client has a firearms-related issue in their case, the first thing I ask myself is "What would Ralph think?" There is simply no attorney in the state whom I would trust more to advise me on issues involving the details of Connecticut's gun laws. His experience in court and before administrative boards, his in-depth knowledge of firearms law, and his openness to help his fellow attorneys navigate these constantly shifting waters are all reasons why I keep Ralph at the top of my referrals list."
