The best permit attorney in CT

I needed Ralph's help in acquiring my pistol permit after a denial years ago, and he was able to guide me in the right direction and promptly answered any questions or concerns I had along the way. I would highly recommend him for any legal needs you might have.

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.

Getting my CT Pistol Permit back in my possession

My lawyer got my pistol permit back for me, less than 1 year. I arrested for a misdemeanor, permit was revoked. Less than 1 year after being arrested, my permit was reinstated. I don't know any other lawyer that could of done this for me.

Pistol Permit

Attorney Sherman was extremely helpful, I'd give him a 6 star rating if I could! In my case I was denied a pistol permit, he was very knowledgeable in my situation and well prepared. I was extremely happy with the outcome and I highly recommend Ralph 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."
