Not impressed

hired for a criminal case in 2019. He failed to finish the case breaching his contract. Took a large lump sum to do the case. Had to hire another lawyer to finish his work he refused to complete. BEWARE

Mark and his team are the best!

What seemed like an impossible feat was not impossible for Mark Sherman and his team. I needed Mark's help with a very complicated DCF case and his teammate, Kathy Bella (a former DCF employee and current expert on how things work with DCF) worked together to gather evidence that negated many lies ...that hurt me and my children. They were passionate and relentless in helping me through the worst time in my life and laid out the facts in a simple and unarguable way that reversed a substantiation. Mark and Kathy's professionalism with me and DCF was remarkable. They are truly the best of the best in every single way. I can not thank Mark and Kathy enough for their enormous help and for going above and beyond what I would have gotten from any other lawyer.

Results Driven, Aggressive, Assertive

Mark is a fantastic attorney. He works for his clients and aims to garner the BEST results. I retained Attorney Sherman last year and I wish that I retained him sooner! His staff is professional and zealous in the discovery process. His team was unrelenting and tirelessly worked at gathering all of ...the testimony and evidence to support my innocence. Throughout my case, Mark kept me abreast of the developments and advised me throughout the process leading up to the closure. Mark is honest, forthcoming and direct. He works for his client 100%! His associate, Caitlyn Murphy is fantastic. She kept me in the loop and was very understanding toward me and my plight. I recommend Mark Sherman and his impeccable team without reservation. He understands the DCF system and yields positive results. Thank you for presenting the truth in my case, which provided me with vindication. I appreciate you and your team!

Expedite!

I couldn’t be happier with the service Mark and his team provided. I was cited with a breach of peach misdemeanor. Unfortunately the judge gave me two years of probation, which seemed a bit harsh for the charges. Mark helped me through the court proceedings to avoid a conviction. He and his team work...ed diligently and put me at ease throughout this stressful process. When my probation end date of July 20 approached, I received a letter from the court that my dismissal date was pushed back to September 21 (9 whole weeks after my case was supposed to be dismissed!!!!). This was a huge inconvenience as I was looking for employment (as I lost my former job due to COVID). I couldn’t have this charge lingering for an additional 9 weeks, which seemed cruel and unusual since the date should have been dismissed. Mark filed an emergency motion and was able to have the case dismissed on July 31. I was thrilled and relieved. Mark and his team are extremely responsive and very professional. They get the job done... and get it done very well. Thanks so much for all you’ve done! I would recommend Mark to anyone seeking criminal legal counsel!

Deeply Experienced and Caring Legal Advocate

We were very fortunate to have hired Mark Sherman represent us and I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of criminal defense or juvenile legal services. Mark's incredible amount of experience in dealing with our type of legal issues were clear from the moment we spoke to him. Despite deepl...y stressful circumstances, Mark's thorough understanding of the issues and potential paths forward immediately helped ease our worries by giving us a highly experienced guide for the road ahead. Mark was sympathetic and caring, was always accessible and was very easy to work with. As the process moved forward, his advice was always easy to understand, clearly well reasoned and sound. We always felt Mark had our best interests at heart and he would talk us through all our options and answer our questions until we were satisfied. He has been through these types of situations so many times, and he can bring that knowledge to bear to help you with important and emotional decisions. Our case was handled as efficiently as possible, which allowed for as fast a resolution as we could hope for. Mark represented us extremely well with the entire court process and all the various participants in it and also gave us caring advice on ways to minimize the stress of the process. While we were properly prepared for all possibilities, in the end, our case had the best possible outcome. We are forever indebted to Mark for this result. If you are in need of this type of legal advice, you would be very fortunate to have Mark Sherman as your attorney.
