Review of Atty Ralph D. Sherman

I hired Attorney Ralph Sherman to file my application with the State of Connecticut for the Clean Slate Act in hopes of removing my 48 year old felony conviction. Because of attorney Shermans help my record is now clean which means so much to me. Thank you so much Attorney Sherman for all you did f...or me. You were so kind and very professional during the entire process. I would highly recommend Attorney Sherman for your legal needs.

Criminal case and Pistol permit revocation

Ralph was straight forward from the very beginning. He didn’t sugar coat our situation at all. He dealt with criminal charges that he got nolled as well as getting my pistol permit back only weeks after. I would highly recommend him as he went out to bat for me 100%

Reliable, experienced service.

Working with Mr. Sherman was a great experience. His expertise is unmatched. He handled 95% of the footwork, allowing me to focus on my life. When I had questions, he happily answered. When I thought I knew what I was doing, he patiently explained the process and what the best course of action was. I... was granted my pardon and I no longer have a criminal history which allows me to pursue new jobs, licenses, housing, etc. I am incredibly grateful that I consulted and hired Mr. Sherman. I would recommend him to anybody, and in fact, I've already passed his information to about 5 friends and colleagues already.

Could not be more happy

Make no mistake, it was a lengthy process. Ralph always responded in a timely matter. I had received emails or phone calls later in the night or early in the morning, whenever he had an answer for me. Always answered my questions. I was very surprised when he told me of the “clean slate act” ...and told me that it was in my best interest to wait for the law to go into affect because it’d be faster and save me quite a bit of money. Saved me half the money and half the time. I do 100% recommend Mr. Sherman to anyone looking to get their record erased. I am happy to say that I am no longer a felon. Which was something that has haunted me, followed me, and made things tough for me over the past 24 years.

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."
