Successful Pardon

From my first consultation with Mr. Sherman he was perfectly honest about everything. Explaining to me he thought my pardon would go through but that I needed to be patient. He told me could take anywhere between 18 to 24 months which it did. His team gave me updates and were very quick with replies... answering many questions I had . I mainly want to thank Mr. Sherman and his team for a job well done and putting my past to rest. I would recommend Mr. Sherman at the highest level to anyone trying to start the expungment process. Can't thank you guys enough!

Pardon

I held onto his name for 6 years until I was ready, as he knows the pardon system well and came highly recommended! He will not take your case, and your money, unless he believes it is viable and meets the conditions for expungement! His office is responsive and available when you need them!

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.

You have to hire a great Attorney for important matters

Atty Ralph Sherman and his team made the entire process effortless. I knew it was important to hire an Atty who has done the process of getting clients pardoned from their Criminal records. If something is important you should hire an Atty, even though I could of done the process and paperwork myself.... Atty Sherman knows how to have your friends and family structure the letter and walks them through the process. I am very busy with work and my children, so not having to worry about something so important was worth every penny. What made me hire Atty Sherman initially was all the great reviews I read on his website. Then after getting a consultation he was able to give me his best approximation of me being able to get pardoned from the State. Knowing that he would not recommend me hiring him if the probability was not high enough to get pardoned, showed that he was an honest Atty not just taking any case he could. My whole experience was great. Atty Sherman was always available via email or phone if I had questions or concerns.

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."
