Mark Daniel Sherman

These guys are true professionals. I could not possibly be happier with the outcome of my case. Emails were returned quickly, phone calls too. It's a comfort to know that they are in my corner. My true hope is that I never need to use them again, but if I do I will not hesitate to contact them. I hig...hly recommend this law firm.

We engaged Attorney Sherman on behalf of our daughter in February 2013 when she was 22. At the time she faced two additional arrests (disorderly conduct, assault 3rd degree, risk of injury to a child; breach of peace, hindering prosecution) which occurred one month shy of her completion of a two ye...ar Accelerated Rehabilitation Program. She had been granted an “Accelerated Rehabilitation Program” for four arrests she had accumulated over the previous six years (since 2007) while attending Greenwich High School. All of these arrests were for a variety of “ fighting incidents” while attempting to attend that High School. We had engaged top lawyers in the area to fight these charges, which resulted in the AR program but for a variety of reasons could not use them for the 2013 charges. Our daughter’s situation was very complex, so we needed a lawyer who could understand her issues and advocate on her behalf. This meant that they needed to educate the prosecutors and judges as well as advocate on her behalf. You see, my daughter was borderline intellectually disabled, bipolar, transgender and suffering from extreme anxiety and depression. At the time of the February 2013 arrests, she had just completed reassignment surgery and was in the midst of a six -week recovery from that surgery. Her name had changed during the six year time period, which also challenged the record keeping for the Courts. My husband and son are corporate lawyers admitted to practice in New York so we could easily do (and did) a lot of research on potential lawyers. A friend had recently become a Judge in Stamford and while he/she could not recommend a lawyer, they confirmed that Mark Sherman should be on the list of those we should consider. The initial interview with Attorney Sherman confirmed the choice. Mark quickly assessed the situation, had confidence in the strategy he would pursue and even recommended a psychiatrist and therapist to support my daughter. He was successful in getting a two-year “Supervised Diversionary Program” for my daughter. However, about one year into the program and on her 25th birthday, she was arrested by the Greenwich Police for a DUI (marijuana, no alcohol). The probation officer and Attorney Sherman were successful in allowing her to complete the “Supervised Diversionary Program “ without violation. He was also able to get a probation approved for the DUI. It has been a total of 9 years since her involvement with the Courts but I am pleased to report that she now has a clean record thanks to Attorney Sherman and his very competent Staff who paid attention to the details and kept us informed every step of the way. Our entire family highly recommends the Law Offices of Mark Sherman, LLC. THANK YOU!

Mark and his team helped me with a very difficult protective order matter with a tough adversary. He was relentless yet very strategic in his approach to resolving the matter. He was incredibly responsive, very well prepared and fairly priced. He knows the court system and the different constitue...nts extremely well. I could not have asked for a better advocate. I would recommend him to anyone that needed a smart and personable attorney to help them resolve a personal crisis.

I hired Mark based on word-of-mouth recommendations. Many friends had used his services. One of the first things he said to me was the title of this review: "You are used to being in charge. Don't be, here." He made it clear that he respected my professional opinion and capacities in my sphere; a...nd that he expected me to respect his professional capacities in his sphere — which was the courtroom and the hearing hall. Throughout my legal process, Mark struck the right balance between telling me what I needed to know, and keeping me uninformed about larger issues behind the scenes. He preserved my integrity as a potential witness in my own case, while working to see that the case itself did not proceed to trial. Ultimately, he was able to achieve a settlement with aggrieved parties in a favorable way through talented negotiation skills and sensitivity to the perspectives of the many people involved. My case did not go to trial, and I walked away from the matter, both free of heavy legal burdens and relieved of feelings of gloom. Mark was the professional in charge — and he kept me from making a larger mess of my difficulties. The other key pieces of advice that Mark gave me were "Don't talk about your case" and "stay out of social media until this matter is over; even then, be cautious." We have a tendency in these times to blab about all the issues and concerns that we have; but Mark made clear from the beginning that it was best to learn to compartmentalize whatever legal issues you have, and seal them off from your social life, your work, your family life, and your spiritual life as best you can. That advice proved to be especially sound, as I waited for my issue to be resolved. My feeling is this: If you hire Mark, you're hiring a professional, and most of the legal issues will be out of your hands — which is perfect. That gives you the ability to start planning the future that you'll have on the other side of the legal issue, and create your own sense of future happiness.
