Ralph D. Sherman

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Ralph Sherman during one of the most important legal matters of my life. After enduring what has been described by more than one judge as the most contentious divorce in Florida’s history—and facing three separate false allegations from my ex-wife that led... to wrongful arrests over the course of a decade—I came to Ralph with a complicated legal past and a sincere desire to restore my rights. While the first two criminal cases ultimately ended in not-guilty verdicts after years of grueling litigation, the third resulted in a forced plea deal under extreme prosecutorial pressure—branding me a felon. After seven relentless years of effort, I succeeded in restoring all of my civil rights, including my Second Amendment rights. That’s when I called Ralph Sherman. Applying for a firearms license in Connecticut—a state known for its strict gun laws—is no easy task, especially with my background. Ralph took my call without hesitation and handled my case with care, knowledge, and unparalleled professionalism. He didn’t just process paperwork—he walked me through each step of the process, calmed my eagerness when I wanted to charge ahead, and made sure every “i” was dotted and every “t” was crossed. My local police department—widely regarded as one of the toughest in the state—conducted an exhaustive investigation. Thanks in no small part to Ralph’s guidance, my 60-day temporary permit was issued. The final step involved an extensive interview with detectives at Troop G, who, after reviewing the full picture and engaging in a fair, honest conversation, issued my permit on the spot. These troopers were a credit to their profession and fully supported the lawful restoration of my firearm rights. If you are applying for a Connecticut firearm license—whether you have a clean record or a complex legal history like mine—call Ralph Sherman before you fill out a single form. His fees are extremely reasonable, but more importantly, his experience, insight, and meticulous approach are absolutely essential. A minor error can result in serious consequences, including criminal charges. Ralph ensures it’s done right the first time. I am forever grateful for his professionalism, his honesty, and his commitment to justice. Ralph Sherman is more than a lawyer—he’s a legal lifeline.

I was arrested in 2007 for insurance fraud and subsequently received accelerated rehabilitation. I successfully completed it and life went on. Fast forward to 2024, I applied for my pistol permit and there was a question “have you ever been arrested?” I didn’t know how to answer legally so I ...contacted Ralph. Ralph ran my criminal record for a nominal fee to ensure I can answer correctly on my permit application. I came back squeaky clean, and was instructed by Ralph to answer “No”. I submitted my application and received my license to carry permit today, thanks to Ralph! If you’re not sure, have Ralph run your criminal history to be sure. Otherwise, it’s an arrestable offense to “lie” (or be incorrect) on an application! Thanks again Ralph!

I want to start by saying that Attorney Sherman is the go-to person for anything related to firearms permits and legal matters. He is honest, trustworthy, and delivers on his promises in a timely and accurate manner. I reached out to Attorney Sherman for help with my permit, as I had some past issues... that made the process challenging. He guided me through every step, helping me understand the importance of patience and trusting the process. I can't emphasize enough—if you're unsure how to handle your situation or worry that something might hold you back, don't hesitate to reach out for help. I only wish I had met Attorney Sherman sooner; it would have saved me so much time and money

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.

Working with Mr. Sherman was a great experience. His expertise is unmatched. He handled 95% of the footwork, allowing me to focus on my life. When I had questions, he happily answered. When I thought I knew what I was doing, he patiently explained the process and what the best course of action was. I... was granted my pardon and I no longer have a criminal history which allows me to pursue new jobs, licenses, housing, etc. I am incredibly grateful that I consulted and hired Mr. Sherman. I would recommend him to anybody, and in fact, I've already passed his information to about 5 friends and colleagues already.
