Posted by anonymous | May 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

getting my Greenwich speeding ticket ripped up

The lawyer, Mark Sherman was extremely helpful. When I got a Greenwich speeding ticket, I had to get it ripped up because it was a third offense. They were easy to communicate and they got the job done right. No guilty plea, no fines! I didn’t have to step foot in court. It was worth calling him and ...I can still drive. I would recommend him to any of my Family and friends.

A saving grace from misdemeanors to multiple infractions

In 2008, I first worked with Mark on an unfortunate DUI case. There were no accidents or injuries, but I was underage and registered a high BAC. Through the course of a few months, he managed to have the judge and prosecutor to agree to expunge the charge completely from my record at the price of a s...uspended license for half a year, community service and a drinking and driving related program. I thought then, as I do now, that was a fair deal. It's great to be able to say "No" to prior convictions in job interviews. 8 years later, I summoned his help again for accruing too many infractions, from speeding tickets, to failure to drive right, to not having insurance and registration (a Stamford officer, a particularly shade police force in this county, lied about the third one). By DMV rules I would have lost my license for at least 6 months, but Mark managed to nolle each of the tickets that put me over the limit, restoring my license 3 weeks into my sentence. Mark has been a great resource to my entire family and I encourage anyone who can afford Mark's service to invest in it.

Excellent Lawyer

From the start Mark Sherman exceeded my expectations and found a really smart way of having my case dismissed. I am a soccer mom from Greenwich but found myself facing a felony and two misdemeanor charges for what resulted from a verbal dispute with my boyfriend. I was 6 pm on New Year's Eve and ...I had told my boyfriend I would not be spending the evening with him. The relationship was ending although we shared a house together, I was the one in the lease. He was angry and saying really nasty things I asked him to leave and he refused. I threatened to call 911 and when he didn't stop I did- except in my anger I told the dispatcher that he "might have a gun". It was a lie! Big mistake! Being that it was New Year's Eve the police were heavily staffed and ready for anything. Being that mine was the first call of the night they readily sprang into action! A full swat team came in riot gear along with fire and ambulance trucks from three towns. Dozens of uniformed people all descended upon my house and police with guns drawn separated me and my boyfriend, I was terrified! One cop had a gun on my boyfriend with the red laser dot on his forehead. It was horrifying! They arrested us both and took us to the station where they dropped the charges against my boyfriend but put a $25000 bond on me took a mug shot, fingerprinted me and booked me. When they finally gave me a phone and a phone book I called Mark Sherman. It was New Year's Eve as I've said but Mark answered immediately. I had never met him nor spoken to him but he dropped everything he was doing to come bail me out and get things straightened out. He even drove me home to pick up some belongings and my car. It took some time but Mark figured out a way to get the charges dismissed which was not easy as I had been granted an AR several years earlier. Thanks to Mark today I have a clean record and did not have to pay any fines ...or worse!!! Mark handled everything with the utmost of professionalism and most importantly treated me with respect and courtesy when I felt I had been betrayed by the system. I highly recommend Mark Sherman for anyone who finds themselves in trouble.

Mark Sherman does great work!

Mark is one of the best Lawyers I know. He is responsive and professional. Mark helped me with various Traffic infractions including speeding and DUI in various jurisdictions including Harrison, Stamford and Bedford. He is effective and efficient and all incidents resolved quickly and with favorab...le outcomes. Mark has been available at any hour to take my call and is always open and non judgmental. mark has never asked for more money once a fee is settled on. His staff is equally professional and responsive.
