A + Grade for Lawyer Who Knows His Way Around School

It is very hard to find a lawyer that understands the complexity of school discipline situations. I was very fortunate to find Mark. He was able to guide me through a police statement about an incident involving student accusations of abuse. Mark had a pre-conference with me to help me understand ...the process of police investigations and alleviate some of my fears. His empathy towards the teaching profession was evident as he very honestly outlined for me all the possible outcomes of my situation. As a result of his guidance I felt much more confident about presenting my side of the story. His work behind the scenes was extraordinary and I am happy to report that the case was closed by the police. I highly recommend Mark and his law firm to anyone involved in sensitive school incidents.

In great hands with him and his staff.

When I was in a situation where I needed a lawyer, Mark was the first one that was recommended to me. He was kind and extremely helpful from the very first time I met him. He would take time to answer any questions I had and was extremely knowledgeable about my case. I felt I was in very good hands t...he entire time with him and his staff, who are equally as nice and smart. He never steered me wrong and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to be representing me through such a difficult time. Mark got certain bogus charges dropped and my case was eventually dismissed. Due to this being my first offense, I really needed someone who knew their stuff, someone who was caring, and someone who could explain things throughout this very new and painful process. Mark was all of these things. I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Mark Sherman Is your guy

I am an ex client of Mark's or should i say a very happy ex client , where to begin ? I was a victim of greenwich police brutality and abuse , i was arrested and i was charged with multiple felonies for things i have never comited , i was in a very hard position because the greenwich Pd trying to p...rotect their own made me look completely arrogant and dangerous in the media as well , i had no where to turn but a friend of mine recommended Mark and that's where i saw a light at the end of the tunnel , after a brief consultation he took my case with no hesitance , i was very impressed with the fact that he handled the media extremely well and swung the public opinion in my favor which was very important for me and my image , he made sure that no matter what it takes he will find the the fairest judge to look closely into the case and handle it well , and the most important he got all the charges dismissed, i am very happy that i was in the right hands and if you or anyone ever find urself in such a position as i was don't hesitate to call Mark Sherman the best criminal defense attorney in Connecticut if not the entire US

Posted by anonymous | October 28, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Absolutely the BEST Stamford Speeding Ticket Lawyer

Mark came highly recommended thru a common friend and we couldn't have asked for better results. Our recently licensed driver was overspending within the first 6 months of obtaining his license. Mark advised us on exactly what we needed to do and guided us through the next steps clearly. When we met... him at court, he had already worked out all the details, all we had to do was receive the good news. He made the process quick and painless with better results than we could have ever hoped for. We were in and out in 20 minutes, the ticket was ripped up with no points, no penalty, no guilty pleas and no records for a college applying young student. We recommend Mark to anyone in a similar situation, it is well worth the phoncall. Thank you for your services Mark, wish you continued success.

The Best Middletown CT BUI/BWI Lawyer

Mark saved my life. When I was faced with a BUI, I felt like it was the end…until I met Mark. After one simple phone call, Mark immediately took action to understand the situation. After his review, he explained everything to me in a very clear and concise manner, both positive and potentially neg...ative. His professionalism, coupled with his humanity helped me get though a very difficult experience. I was faced with prior legal issues that complicated matters, but as a result of Mark’s in depth knowledge and expertise of the law I only received probation, which was the absolute best outcome. Mark cared, he knew the law and his responsiveness and service was outstanding. By far, Mark and his firm are ‘Best in Class’.
