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My pistol permit was revoked by false accusations made by my ex.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

If you're having issues with your pistol permit, this is your guy. He communicated clearly and through. We spoke a couple times over the year, and he stuck to his price. He worked fast, very fast. My hearing was Tentative a year out, and he made it happen NOW. This guy is worth every penny. He takes ...charge and gets the job done. Thanks to Attorney Sherman I have my pistol permit back.

The best in the state

After loosing my pistol permit and looking around for a lawyer my good friend recommended Mr. Sherman. Before my initial call to Mr. Sherman I looked into his reviews online which looked very promising so I called him. Within a 10min phone conversation of him being very blunt and straight forward wit...h a price and percent of likeliness of getting my permit back I decided to hire him. We met in person for payment and he basically said from hear on out he’s behind the wheel and have everything covered. With the honest impression I got from him it made me feel more at ease so I let him do his thing. If I had any questions I got immediate responses during the 9 month process. At the end he was able to get my permit reinstated and I am forever thankful for his work and professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone dealing with a pistol permit issue.

10 out of 10 recommend

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...l comfortable about my specific situation he was also very honest and open about how the process will go. He stayed true to his word and helped me win all while keeping me posted on everything going on so I was not left in the dark to wonder. Thank you again for all your help!!

Top Notch

Attorney Sherman helped me through the entire process of getting a Ct permit. Very knowledgeable of the laws and he took the time to explain things to me on how to proceed in the process. Always returned emails and phone calls in a very timely manner. If you need help getting a permit Attorney Sherm...an is the one you should be talking to, you will receive solid advice and straightforward answers pertinent to your particular situation. I wish there were more lawyers like Attorney Sherman. Everything was done by mail, email and phone which was extremely convenient since I live a distance from his office. If you are looking for help look no further than Attorney Sherman .

"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."
