invaluable legal help for College students/parents

College students often make immature mistakes. And an overly zealous Connecticut legal system can exacerbate minor mistakes to an extreme most wouldn't believe possible. Fortunately for my daughter, Mark Sherman and his team were able to bring sanity and reality to Stamford Traffic Court! They made ...it clear that my daughters simple parking incident (no damage documented) was not, in fact, a felony "Hit and Run" and evasion of responsibility as accused. Despite pushback from the prosecutor, and complications from additional traffic tickets for texting at a UConn traffic stop, all serious charges were recently dismissed. Luckily, I had hired Mark immediately after charges were brought and enabled him and his team to effectively sort out the issues and navigate the system. I shudder to think what could've happened to her and her pristine record had I not brought Mark Sherman in to enforce justice! Her application to medical school surely would have been rejected.

Saved my life

I found Mark on the website by searching for the best criminal attorney in my area. I called Mark right away after being charged for shoplifting in a store and discussed my case. With professional knowledge and kindness, Mark easily calmed me down as I was stressed about my first offense. Mark and h...is staff were very responsive and professional. He did what he promised, and got my case dismissed in a few months. Due to this, I highly recommend him to anyone with a charge. Don't stress yourself! Call mark and he will take care of everything for you. 10 out of 10 best attorney out there for you!

Not Guilty Jury in Stamford!!!

To Christine Gertsch, Ryan, Caroline & the Mark Sherman Law Firm, I know that in order to do what you do, you must on some level believe in the person that you are defending. Not just in their innocence, but in them as a person, in their ability to go back into society and be good and be a contributi...ng member of society. When there were so many people who refused to believe in me, you all believed in me. Your belief in me as a person allowed you to defend me so well that I was acquitted- how can I ever repay that? Here is how I will try: I have realized that I have been given another chance at my life. I plan to wake up every morning being so grateful for that chance that I will love every moment to the fullest. I will be that good person that you believed in and I will contribute to whatever community I end up in. I will work and work hard and I will set an example for people who are younger than me. My biggest thank you will hopefully come a couple of years from now when you can see for yourself that I have become a successful and happy man. That is my biggest goal. I thank you for all of your hard work, time and dedication to my case. I thank you for believing in me when people didn't and I thank you for giving me another chance at life. I will forever be grateful.

Make the call!

Our son made 2 bad decisions that brought reality in clear focus fast. Back to back drug charges had the potential to spiral into something more serious before we hired Mark & Christine Gertsch. Our initial consult w/Mark was reassuring and evident that he had the experience and confidence to get t...he charges dismissed. Christine was relentless in her pursuit and kept us fully informed throughout. It was a long year but the results were as promised. Thank you Mark & Christine!

Best money I ever spent

My case was simple, but has huge implication on everything I have in my life. Mark literally turned the tide and saved me from losing everything. He is not cheap for sure. But honestly that is the best money I spent in my entire life. Long story short. Had a fight with my wife in Jan. She gone cr...azy and called cop with a fake story that I attacked her and kids. (What a joke!) Still I was arrested and charged with four felonies. I had gone through 3 other lawyers before I found Mark in late Feb. All other lawyers before Mark either laughed at me (as if they enjoyed my pain) or took my money and just did nothing. Wasted four weeks with those useless or careless ones, I was fired from my job (as my previous attorney failed to respond to my employer's inquiry on the charges - I work in financial industry) with 4 restraining orders and 4 felony charges on my head at the time when I switched to Mark. I told Mark that with those things on my record I won't even be able to find a new job and the entire family is out of financial support. Mark listened and took action right away. I have to emphasize that it was 10pm on a Saturday night when I first called Mark. Now that is called professional! I haven't seen anything like that or even remotely close to it from any other lawyer I spoke to. The rest part of the story, you can imagine. Mark immediately put out an action plan and, more importantly, started working on it. Within a month, 2 of my felony charges were dropped. In May the rest of my charges were all dropped. Now, in July, I already started a new job and a new life again. Mark is super knowledgeable on what he does for living. He always listened well to me, even when I was emotional and talked nonsense. He calmed me down with his professional opinion, explained everything inside out and gave me step by step instructions about what to do. More importantly, he always answered my calls, even in midnight!!! In case that he missed the call, he always responded back to me within 20 mins either by phone, or txt, or email, no matter at what time, day and night, 24/7! Mark is top notch in every standard. My advice to anyone who needs help: If you want to throw your money away and go by your luck, go with other attorneys. If you want result and want result fast, Mark is the one you have to go with.
