Mark Daniel Sherman

Mark Sherman is known throughout the industry, because he has served on some of the most high profile cases. I required defense in a complicated, high-stakes marital altercation that posed the risk of discrediting my long track record as a husband and father, because of an isolated incident. Mark b...egan by being honest with me about where I was right, and where I was misguided in my thinking. Mark understood that isolated incidents can often be exploited by the other party, and result in unfair or unintended consequences. His reputation among other attorneys and judges was a direct benefit to me, because his voice was heard and respected. His technical knowledge, resourcefulness, and cross-functional referrals were required in this case and exceeded expectations. Mark's team of associates, including Christine and Amanda, were equally strong, and having a built-out team was valuable in a case like mine. Mark also does not like to lose, and will work diligently to use all means at his disposal to achieve the desired outcome. Most important though was Mark's appreciation for the "whole life" aspect of my defense, and how he incorporated it into every aspect of the case. I would recommend Mark to a client who requires a a high level of expertise, or simply desires the best attorney in the area.

I am pleased to write a recommendation for attorney Mark Sherman and his legal team. He was referred by several practicing attorneys and I hired him after we met in person. I felt very comfortable working with Mark who helped resolve the most difficult period of my life. He is responsive and a fighte...r. The Darien police charged me with very serious domestic violence allegations and subsequent protective order violations. Mark worked hard to get the second degree strangulation, protective order violations, and risk of injury charges dismissed. This was a very sensitive family law case and he found the best answer. Mark had a plan and pushed to get the protective orders modified on an accelerated timeline making it a possibility to see my children. He also had the case dismissed early putting this whole ordeal behind me and my family. Thank you Mark and team.

I was lucky enough to hire attorney Mark Sherman to handle my domestic violence case. After finding myself in an unfortunate situation, my dad read about Mark online, after searching the internet all night to get me the best legal defense possible. After reading about Mark beating a capital murder ch...arge for one of his previous clients and also obtaining the largest SEC whistle-blowing bounty in US history, my dad knew he found the right guy for the case. When he called Mark's offices around 3am, his answering service was quick to get him on the phone despite the early morning hour. Mark instructed my dad on what to do next. I had not been arrested yet, but Mark personally accompanied me to the police station to turn myself in. In addition, he linked us with a bondsman so that I would be in and out of jail in just a few short minutes after being booked. At court the next day, Mark made sure I knew exactly what to expect and how things were likely to play out. Originally I was charged with Assault - Second degree, interfering with a 911 call, strangulation - Third degree, and disorderly conduct. About a year later, I would walk out of the courtroom with all charges dropped. Mark and Christine Gertsch handled everything with the utmost of professionalism and kept my best interest in mind at all times. On my first court appearance, I was the only person in DV court to leave without being ordered to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet. They went out of their way to help recommend a private substance abuse counselor and mental health/anger management counselor, when the court ordered me to undergo counseling. They also helped me in getting released from seeing a probation officer after just 5 weeks - This was important to me as I had to take off of work once a week to see the probation officer. Next, Mark got me enrolled into a 6 month domestic violence class (I attended once a week). The agreement was that I complete the group sessions and I didn't get arrested, for all charges to be dropped. During this time, Mark was able to get me additional excused absences from the program to attend a friends wedding, even after I already exhausted the number of allowed absences. Christine fought very hard to get my protection order lowered from a "full" to a "residential stay away", to a "partial" during my case (the alleged victim and I wanted nothing more than to be back together). Christine even managed to schedule me early meetings as soon as the Family Services offices opened, so that I could make it to work on time. Finally, after doing everything that I was asked to do, the prosecutor did not want to drop my case because I had a "bad attitude" and I spoke my mind during the group session program. Mark was not having any of that! He had a look on his face like there was a snowballs chance in hell of me getting disqualified from the program which I had completed. At the very next court appearance after telling me that, my case was dropped. I highly recommend attorney Sherman and his team - Mark and Christine did a hell of a job. Do yourself a favor and look no further if you or anyone you know is in need of a criminal defense attorney.

As soon as I contacted Mark, and I received an immediate reply on a weekend, I knew he was 'the guy' for my needs. He was always available, yet it was something that could be handled by his competent staff, he delegated with confidence providing me as his client, with complete trust in him. He was ...knowledgeable of the facts related to my case and always conveyed a sign that he was available, no matter the time or the issue. I continue to utilize his services I trust his judgement with my life, as the case involves my son and when it comes to my children, they only should have the best, and that is exactly what Mark represents - the best!
