Mark Daniel Sherman

There I was one evening, in a parking lot in Stamford Ct. calling the police as I was verbally threatened and physically intimidated . Imagine my surprise, when the incident ended with me in the back of a police SUV, cuffed and charged with Breach of Peace! I explained to the three officers wh...at occurred and they questioned the assailant. ( I have never been arrested as I am fast approaching 60 years of age) . I understand it's my word against his and there were no witnesses , however it was explained to me by the police that I could let it go and walk away or we would both be arrested!. Talk about a real time civics lesson, I mean really, who expects to get arrested for calling the police for a legitimate reason? I guess 99.9% of people would walk away, but I wanted satisfaction and honestly thought the police were bluffing. I went all in , and was arrested for breach and the other guy for breach of the peace and threatening, so I felt for the moment I got some measure of satisfaction that he got hit with 2 charges Like I said, I'm a solid citizen who was cuffed, finger printed and they took my mug shot all for a Class B misdemeanor. Now you have the story. I am from out of state and don't know any Connecticut lawyers so I went online. Attorney Sherman's website was my first hit and I liked the way he explained (I am quoting his website word for word) how "Breach of Peace" , " is frequently charged In Connecticut. It is a broadly applied, catch - all criminal charge:" Defining, what to me was a complex issue with a simple explanation, put my mind at ease and indicated to me Attorney Sherman probably deals with these in his sleep, at least I hoped so. I called him as early as 7 A.M. the next morning and I was delighted he called back rather quickly, which given my anxiety level was important to me. I saw him later in the day and hired him. We went thru the details of what happened and he said (subject to seeing the police report ) that ultimately" this charge would go away". He got the police report as soon as it was available (can take several days) . Now he had all the facts and he explained to me the various range of outcomes from "Nolle" to the dreaded 6 months in jail I was overly paranoid about despite the fact that he assured me my worst case scenario would be to take a diversionary program which keeps you out of jail. He also said we are not going to burn an "AR" on this! Clearly Attorney Sherman knew his stuff, he articulated the issues well. However, and this is why I mention my irrational paranoia, because I needed more than just an attorney. I needed some emotional support, some "hand holding". I have never been arrested, let alone for committing NO crime, so you can imagine my anxiety was thru the roof. I called Mark several times asking all kinds of questions. He always returned my calls, he spoke to my wife, he was always patient and supportive. My case was not dismissed after my first appearance . Sitting in the courthouse conference room after that first appearance I felt like Dr. Thorndike on the elevator in the movie High Anxiety. Next appearance was 3 weeks later and in that time I read more about breach of peace than I care to admit which only made more nervous. Fortunately as Mark indicated was likely, the case was Nolled. If something like this happens to you, don't call the police, go to the police station and make the complaint. Bottom line, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Sherman, he's a excellent lawyer and psychologist as well, LOL.

After my arrest for interference with a police officer during a traffic stop I was immediately referred to the The Law Offices of Mark Sherman. Attorney Sherman and his staff were responsive and knowledgeable. This was the first time I had ever been arrested and Mark Sherman was there protecting ...me and explaining what was occurring every step of the way. Attorney Sherman had my court date in Danbury Superior Court moved up and worked hard to have the charges nolled without my having to enter into the Accelerated Rehabilitation program. The outcome he achieved provided a great sense of relief for my family and I. I am extremely grateful to the law offices of Mark Sherman for the outstanding job they did, the compassion they showed during this stressful time and the way they made me feel as though my case was as important to them as it was to me.

I got arrested a year ago for possession with intent to sell in Stamford CT. I was lucky enough to get Mark Sherman to represent me. I was a complete nervous wreck when I met him for the first consultation he assured me from the start and calmed me down with his cool and calm demeanor. Before I even ...got to the court for my first hearing he already struck a deal with the prosecutor and had all the felony charges dropped. I was first in line to see the judge and was out of there within an hour of arriving. Same story with the next hearing but it was even faster. He got me a great deal. I didn't have to do any probation just a little community service and counseling with a therapist. I didn't even have to show up for my last court date. He got everything dropped and expunged. The arrest had little to no impact on my life. He turned something that could've destroyed me into a minor inconvenience! He is without a doubt the best criminal defense lawyer is Stamford and possibly the Entire state of CT! If anyone has any kind of need for a criminal defense lawyer, especially in Stamford. Especially anything drug or alcohol related you would be seriously amiss not to have Mark on your side.

I was involved in a police brutality accident in Greenwich CT a couple of years ago and thank God I got in touch with Mark to represent me in the case. I was accused of many felonies as the police dept. there falsified almost everything regarding my case. Mark was able to drop all the charges in a ti...mely manner and I walked away from this big ordeal with just a Violation. He was able to dismiss the case and made sure I had no record at the end. Mark was also able to deal with all the media pressure and swing the public opinion in my favor and bring a different light to the case opposing the statements of the police dept. He was always there to answer my questions, to reassure me and to prepare me in the best way possible. He and his team of lawyers are OUTSTANDING, I will recommend them to anybody.

i got arrested for assault second degree for a fight with a girl at a nightclub in Stamford. She attacked me first and cornered me against the wall and i had no choice but to hit her with the wine glass i was holding, cutting up her face unintentionally. I told the Stamford police it was self-defense... and told them to save the video. They didn’t listen and didn’t save or even look at the video. i thought my life was over. I found Marc Sherman Law firm online and called them in the middle of the night and got connected to a lawyer immediately. Their reviews were by far the best and one of their lawyers met with me the next day on a weekend. Court was a nightmare because the victim tried to play up the case and even sued me in the civil courts. But Marc didn’t give up. He got the video and worked over the victim’s lawyer so that the charges would get dismissed! He and his private investigator got statements to show the judge that it was really self defense and not an assault in second degree attack, which saved my job in New York City and my immigration work visa renewal application. they even sent me a letter at end of my case explaining everything and how it will affect my background checks for the rest of my life. I would definitely recommend Marc and his team of attorneys. they were responsive, caring and saw my criminal and civil case (which got dismissed) all the way through to the end. thank you marc!
