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.

Pistol Permit Reinstated
I contacted Attorney Sherman to look at my case for a revoked pistol permit. Attorney Sherman responded quickly and was attentive. Shortly after, I hired him to handle my case. Within two months my permit was reinstated without a board hearing. Thank you for the help Attorney Sherman!

Criminal case and Pistol permit revocation
Ralph was straight forward from the very beginning. He didn’t sugar coat our situation at all. He dealt with criminal charges that he got nolled as well as getting my pistol permit back only weeks after. I would highly recommend him as he went out to bat for me 100%

If you have a Connecticut gun right or permit issue, Ralph is the attorney that you'll want to hire
I retained Attorney Sherman for a matter in front of the Connecticut Board of Firearms Permit Examiners. I won my appeal on a 6-0 decision in my favor.

Pistol Permit
Attorney Sherman is definitely the lawyer you need by your side. I contacted Atty Sherman about acquiring my pistol permit that was revoked a few years back. He was able to guide me in the right direction and answered any questions or concerns I might of had. Within two months of hiring Atty 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."
