Ralph D. Sherman

I had an arrest nearly 20 years ago that resulted in my pistol permit being denied (all charges were dropped and the case was dismissed by the judge. Thankfully, I hired Ralph to help me navigate the appeal process. His knowledge of the process and confidence that my permit would be granted prove...d to be spot on. He successfully helped me get my permit and is exactly the kind of lawyer you want in your corner if you’re dealing with any pistol permit issues. I highly recommend him.

I was denied my CCW permit locally so I had to appeal. After listening to my situation Mr Sherman took my case. A couple days before the hearing I went to Mr Shermans office so we could discuss what I should expect from the appeals board. My case was not easy but Mr Sherman made it seem like it was.... He is very experienced and knows the appeals process very well. He was prepared with all the details of my case, made great points on my behalf, and asked pointed questions of me while on the stand that helped paint the right picture of my situation. I won my appeal by unanimous vote even though the opposing side brought a high profile government attorney with them. I also witnessed Mr Sherman pleading 3 other cases on the same day. He won 2 of them and got a continuation on the 3rd (which was the right move in my opinion). Other appeals that day did not have a lawyer present and did not go so well. If you are appealing a CCW permit decision I would recommend using an attorney, and based on my experience, I would recommend Mr Sherman.

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. While sitting and watching the other hearings before mine, I got to see the difference between hiring an attorney that was actually experienced in fr...ont of the board, versus using an attorney that was not. Attorney Sherman is the way to go, he pays attention, knows what questions to ask and truly will advocate for you. He is *not* just there to accept your payment and mindlessly go through the motions. He is thorough and passionate about what he does. I also think the board knows his face, and he has rapport with them, and that is also helpful to his clients in a subtle way. Very highly recommend.

I hired Ralph Sherman to represent me in an appeals case due to permit denial. Atty. Sherman was diligent, kept me informed throughout the progress of the matter, and was able to negotiate a date much sooner than expected for the hearing. He was very accommodating to my questions, concerns, and reass...uring. Atty. Sherman's level of experience in this field makes him a subject matter expert. He represented me in a very professional, concise manner, and I would not hesitate to employ his services again, as well as recommend others do the same. I felt as comfortable as possible during this process, and with the legal counsel of Atty. Sherman, we were able to achieve a ruling in my favor. Thanks again for everything you've done, I am very satisfied and relieved.

The most straightforward, honest and professional experience anyone could hope for in a negative situation. Attorney Sherman was thoughtful and reassuring throughout the entire process. He guided and prepared me directly before, during and after all proceedings and developments. He was patient and an...swered all my questions informatively. I felt comfortable with him handling my case and appeal. I would prefer to have any legal situation handled the way Attorney Sherman handled this one. It would be my recommendation that anyone in need of relevant legal services and looking for the best possible scenario and result, you’ve found it with Attorney Sherman.
