If you want the personal attention of a small law firm, you'll find it here.
Because of my expertise with firearms issues, I have practiced in every Superior Court in Connecticut, plus the Appellate Court and the Connecticut Supreme Court.
I have helped more than 4,000 individuals with pistol-permit problems.
I have been a licensed Connecticut attorney since December 1991.
I have probably handled more pardons and Clean Slates than any other attorney in this state, and I have been doing pardons since 1995. At one session of the Connecticut Board of Pardons and Paroles, the board heard 55 cases; 13 of them were my clients. In many years I have represented 5 to 10 percent of the individuals who actually get a hearing with the Board.
Going to criminal court without an attorney is like hiking in the jungle without a guide. Even if you have never been arrested before, you need an attorney to protect your rights. It is NOT the prosecutor's job to look out for you. The only person who's going to help you in criminal court is your own attorney. This is true even for DWI and some other motor-vehicle charges.

The best in the state
After loosing my pistol permit and looking around for a lawyer my good friend recommended Mr. Sherman.

After dealing with a very long grueling court case I was advised by another Attorney to contact Ralph Sherman to just get advice on which direction to go. After about 20 minutes I felt 100% confident that he would represent me with the upmost care and attention to detail. Not only did he make me fee...

"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."
