Pistol Permit

6 Years ago the State of CT revoked my Pistol Permit. I immediately started working with the state of the infraction they were talking about, almost 40 years ago. The state in which it occurred was telling me that my records were all good, the State of CT has a different view. I worked on it for a...bout 3 years while working full time and raising a family, so I put it to the side of life. I felt ready to move forward with it and get the job done. Even though I worked with some great services the ultimate one, the State Police was not willing to help. At that time I connected Attonery Sherman. I first met him in person, He did not judge me, he helped me. I am now a Pistol Permit holder in the State of CT again, because of the hard work he did for me.

Exactly what I needed

Attorney Sherman was the correct person to help with my permit appeal. He knew everything about the process from start to finish. No need to look anywhere else for permit or revocation appeal legal counsel.

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. 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.

Excellent and Timely

I hired Attorney Sherman for a permit revocation case, and he was knowledgeable, efficient and kept me appraised of everything going on throughout the process. Attorney Sherman was always either a telephone call or email away for any questions and was able to get my permit restored within 5 months of... hiring him. Without a doubt I would recommend anyone to Attorney Sherman without hesitation.

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."
