Ralph D. Sherman

My son's pistol permit was revoked and we were looking for an attorney to represent him in his appeal to the state. Attorney Sherman was highly recommended. We are so grateful that he took our case. Attorney Sherman returned our initial call (after business hours) and talked with us at length. He... kept us informed throughout the process and was very professional and courteous. Because of Attorney Sherman's expertise in firearm law, the issue was resolved without a board hearing and my son's permit was reinstated. I highly recommend Attorney Sherman to anyone seeking expert legal representation.

In short, if you’ve found this review because you’re anticipating being denied your pistol permit and/or having a, you should save yourself the trouble and hire Ralph now. With my wallet in mind, I originally spent hours and hours getting free advice from people that appeared to be experts only to fi...nd out that everything I was told was inaccurate and just making it more difficult for myself. It took me a failed attempt at a hearing and a denied application to wake up to that fact. Save yourself the trouble and call Ralph sooner than later. I heard about Attorney Ralph Sherman from watching the BFPE minutes in addition to hearing other people’s success stories. Even though I knew I would have some obstacles in getting my permit, I foolishly waited until my application was denied by the town before contacting Ralph. The town denying me made me come to the realization that I wasn’t going to get my permit without having an attorney (the BFPE pretty much told me so at my first hearing but I was in denial and being cheap. As soon as I got Ralph on my side the process noticeably improved; he started by making sure I had realistic expectations and advised me of all the steps I could take for a successful outcome. The day I hired Ralph (summer of 2019) I saw the state was backed up until the middle of 2021 with hearings. Ralph thought we would be able to get the hearing moved up to the spring of 2020. To my surprise, he was able to make it happen in January. Even though it was months away, Ralph took time to sort out my errors on day one. I live a far from Ralphs office, so I chose to talk over the phone and email rather than meet for our first conversation, I felt comfortable with that having heard and seen so many great reviews. Once we had the official date, we had a meeting at Ralph's office (which has beautiful woodwork). Ralph was just as great in person as he was to deal with on the phone. We spent a while discussing options for a successful outcome and what to expect once I got into the hot seat. Despite him going above and beyond preparing me, I still got nervous as I sat down in front of the board (as anticipated). It was a relief having Ralph there to make sure I got all the necessary information out to the board like we discussed numerous times the day of and weeks/months leading up to that moment. I’m excited to say, because of Ralph's advice and great efforts, the board voted unanimously in my favor that my permit be issued. It’s now been a couple of weeks since my hearing, the town and state issued my permits and the process that’s haunted me for 10 years is finally over. I'm pretty certain that I couldn’t have had the successful outcome without Ralphs expertise, I highly recommend him. In my experience, if you're just questioning if you need a lawyer to help with your pistol permit application and/or hearing, you probably do. Call Ralph BEFORE submitting your application so can have the best advantage in getting your rights back!

I knew that attorney Sherman was the legal representative that gave me the best chance of receiving an absolute pardon. Attorney Sherman helped me manage my expectations from day one. Throughout the entire process attorney Sherman worked tirelessly to build my case and put me in the best position to ...achieve my goals. I absolutely believe that without attorney Sherman I would not have reached this milestone and wouldn’t have been granted an absolute pardon. It was a true pleasure having him represent me, and a breath of fresh air finding a legal attorney that cares enough to be forthright and upfront from the beginning to the end. I highly recommended attorney Sherman for legal counsel.

I used att.Sherman for a pardon a year and a half ago . He was very straight forword . AND PROMISE US NOTHING!!! RALPH DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH MY PARDON I RECIEVED A UNCONDTIONAL PARDON THANKS TO ATT.SHERMAN I WILL RECCOMEND HIM AND HAVE RECCOMENDED HIM TO FRIENDS THE LAST THING SAY IS THANKS... RALPH FOR DOING A EXCELLENT JOB AND BEING A TOP NOTCH LAWYER

Ralph was referred to me by the CT Bar Association after calling the lawyer referral line. I was looking for an attorney after having my permit revoked for criticizing the process. Ralph seemed more interested in defending the unconstitutional permitting racket and its unconstitutional review board t...hen the rights of citizens of the Constitution State. In my opinion, this is just a job for him. There may be the appearance of him being "successful" in reversing these violations but I think he has just found a lane for himself to monetize the infringement without addressing its root cause. My interaction with Ralph gave me the impression that he will not fight for your fight to keep and bear arms with vigor and that he has built a comfortable life around the status quo as it relates to the 2nd Amendment & Connecticut.
