Pistol permits

Attorney Sherman is the best there is when it comes to CT firearms laws and pistol permits. He was extremely helpful in getting my permit returned. Thank you!

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.

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!!

Highly Recommended

I contracted Attorney Sherman to help me have my firearms rights restored in relation to a series of incidents that had happened many years prior. It was a long and unpleasant process but Attorney Sherman and his team were very focused and also sympathetic throughout the entire thing. It is quite a ...humbling experience to have someone go through your old hospital records but Atty. Sherman and his paralegal Emma maintained a respectful and non-judgmental disposition throughout. After a years-long process through the probate courts (as was expected), we finally achieved success and my rights have been restored. Atty. Sherman and his staff are not just good at what they do, but they are kind and patriotic individuals who firmly believe in their work. Highly recommended.

Best Lawyer anywhere!

My wife and I hired Attorney Sherman after a very serious accusations by the state police against me concerning illegal sale of firearms. Attorney Sherman is extremely well versed in the firearms laws in Ct (which are very complicated and tricky). then add to that everything surrounding the pandemic,... especially the delays and it was a mess! Fortunately Attorney Sherman was able to get the charges against me dropped! I would recommend Attorney Sherman to anyone needing a very knowledgeable, dedicated professional to represent them and fight for them will all available resources.

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."
