Top notch

I've retained Attorney Sherman to handle many sensitive matters for a very high net worth client and never been disappointed with the results. He brings a tremendous amount of expertise on criminal and certain civil matters along with a great practical sense designed to make sure the client's goals ...are achieved. Highly recommend him.

Hire Him!!!!

It is with pleasure I and reviewing and recommending attorney Mark Sherman. His professionalism, remarkable knowledge and experience place him in the top tier of Connecticut lawyers and #1 on my list. I went through a really bad situation because of an ex-girlfriend and needed a good lawyer to help m...e out of the situation. Initially, I had a lawyer that was a nightmare. The guy was lazy, unprofessional and clearly did not know his way around the court system or was trying to bilk me for more money. Anyway, his actions really cost me not only in term of money, time and aggravation but delayed my case from being thrown out of court. Fortunately, I realized that guy was horrible and sought another attorney before more damage could be done. I have to admit going from a really bad lawyer to another lawyer, I was very uneasy; however, after meeting Mark, I knew I had found the right person to take my case. It is because of his experience, knowledge, dedication and hard work I am able to say I can put that terrible situation behind me as Mark got the case dismissed. If you need a good lawyer who will fight for you and get you the result you want then you need to hire Mark. Thanks Mark!!!!

Highly Recommend The Law Offices of Mark Sherman

After being charged with a DUI in Stamford, along with other more serious charges, I contacted Mark Sherman at the high recommendation of someone who works within the criminal justice system. After consulting with Mark, I had the utmost confidence in him. He was on top of the case the entire time, ke...eping me informed at every step of a complicated process. The DUI was ultimately dismissed, and the case was handled professionally and delicately, an outcome I wouldn't have expected with any attorney but Mark. If you want the best possible outcome, The Law Offices of Mark Sherman is your only choice.

More than we hoped for

We found ourselves in need of a lawyer for our 16-year old son. We called Mark on Friday and met with him on Sunday morning. By then he had obtained all the information he could get from the police and was fully up to speed. He spoke with us and then with our son, "R," alone and listened to everythin...g carefully. He detailed his expectations of what would happen. He outlined the possible outcomes so that we were fully prepared for the worst. However, he fully expected the best and he was right. He helped us navigate the system and explained why certain decisions would be better than others. He treated our son with respect and concern but was also quite firm in what would happen if R didn't cooperate or messed up again. He advocated for our son in a way that acknowledged his mistakes but also demonstrated that one (major!) mistake wouldn't ruin his life. He expects R to get through this terrible chapter, put it behind him, go to college, have a job and a family, and this doesn't have to follow or define him. He gave us hope when we had none, but, again warned that R needs to keep on the straight and narrow forever. His fees were straightforward and reasonable and we were never hit with extra charges. Mark made a life-changing, extraordinarily difficult time manageable and gave us and our son hope when it seemed like there was none. He delivered on the best possible scenario and we are eternally grateful. Before saying goodbye, Mark made sure all of us could reach him and, honestly, we know we can count on him but hope we'll never need to again.

positive result for teenager

My teenage son received a citation from the Darien police for under age possession of alcohol. Several of my friends in the legal community including a retired judge suggested we speak with Mark before paying the ticket. Mark immediately responded to my call and set up a meeting where he clearly art...iculated the consequences of pleading guilty and paying the fine. These included a suspension of my son’s driver’s license and a record of the offense which can show up on background checks for up to seven years. This can impact potential employment and raise insurance costs. After the consultation we hired Mark to represent our son. He was able to work with the State’s Attorney to drop the citation in exchange for community service and attendance of a MADD seminar. Mark communicated with us during every step of the process. Mark got a positive result and my son learned a valuable lesson.
