Their team is worth every dollar ,... they know the system and they know how to make it work in your favor . Thanks Mark for your help .

Outstanding Attorney and Legal Team

My 19 year old daughter got herself into trouble with drugs. Paramedics were called and they saved her life. Police also arrived on the scene although no accident was involved. The next day, she was called to come to the Norwalk police station to get her drivers license. At that time and with no warn...ing whatsoever, they handcuffed and arrested her for possession (of paraphernalia only) and tried to convince her (when they had her alone in the back) to do drug deals undercover and they'd make the charges go away. They brought her back up front to me and allowed her to leave the station. Over the next few days, they were persistent with calling her. This was a 19 year old girl and her first offense, of any kind. She never even had a speeding ticket. I knew I needed to get her a good lawyer and I thankfully, found Mark through a colleague who works for a well respected law firm in Stamford. Mark made himself immediately available. During our first meeting, Mark called the Norwalk Police Department and from that point forward, the phone calls stopped. He then explained how the process would go and to expect a year before knowing the final outcome. He had a calming influence yet very nicely communicated the seriousness of this situation to my daughter. Mark and his legal team did an excellent job at getting the charges dismissed. He is an exceptional attorney, personable to work with and I would recommend Mark hands down to anyone who needs help.

Stamford Robbery, Larceny and Assault Case Dismissed

When I was wrongly arrested for robbery, larceny and assault in Stamford I thought my life and my career in finance was over. I did a ton of research and found Mark on this website, it was the best decision I made. I was in shambles when I first met with Mark and his team, he did a great job expla...ining to me what the process was going to be and what the possible outcomes could be. He got me to calm down and trust him and that is not easy for someone like me who needs to be in control. Mark was able to have all the charges dismissed by the court, in fact he went back to court to fight for an early dismissal and convinced the judge to knock off 6 months of remaining time. Mark and his team have great knowledge of the criminal justice system and how to navigate through it. In addition to having the charges dismissed Mark was able to have the pesky Stamford Advocate police blotter removed from Google searches as part of his internet scrubbing service. You can’t miss with Mark.

Delivered an excellent result

My young son was facing a long jail term at the hands of an aggressive prosecutor in his DUI case in Danbury. He had managed to get himself in more trouble making his prospects grim. A colleague told me "you need to hire Mark Sherman" and it was the best advice I could have gotten. Mark was responsiv...e, very hands on and took us through all the issues. He brought together a team of experts and piece by piece he put together a defense that ultimately yielded a sentence far shorter than what the court was originally seeking. He was a vigilant, compassionate and relentless in his advocacy. When I had lost all hope and expected my son to be in jail for a very long time, Mark delivered a result that was beyond my expectations.

Reliable and Helpful

I was recently charged with assault and disorderly conduct after calling the police when my ex boyfriend attacked me. I was referred to Mark by another law firm that a neighbor of mine used. What I liked about Mark is that he got back to my family and I immediately and made time for us in his clearly... busy schedule. You could tell he cared and believed my story. He was available to answer any questions I had and gave me great advice. After about two months he successfully had my case nolled which means it would appear as dropped and in 13 months will be 100% dismissed and gone from my record. I unfortunately found myself in a terrible situation and Mark and his office walked me through everything and made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands.
