Excellent knowledgable, efficient atorney

Mark Sherman clearly explained what I had to do to get my DUI case dismisses. We devised a systematic plan and all went exactly as planned. Very convenient not to have to appear in court on day of my dismissal and also on my 1st court appearance my case was heard right away so I did not have to sp...end the whole day waiting. My business attorney highly recommended Mark and he was absolutely correct in doing so. I would highly recommend Mark Sherman.

Great Legal Help

I highly recommend the services of Mark Sherman due to the fact that he is professional and has a way of putting you at ease in his expertise. Our son is someone who is a good kid and has never been in trouble and we had no experience with the law. He had a disorderly conduct and we called Mark and... he called us back immediately. He explained things to us and took care of everything. He let us know every step of the way what was happening and it was good to know what was going on at any given time. Our results were good and we are very grateful to Mark. Hopefully, we will never need him again, but if we need a lawyer, I will definitely call Mark. Thanks!

Thank goodness for Mark Sherman

Charged with DUI on a Friday, I contacted Atty Mark Sherman on a rainy Sunday afternoon & much to my surprise, he met with me THAT VERY DAY. He treated me with dignity & respect, assuring me that 'we all make mistakes', explaining that i had ONE chance to redeem myself. He quickly sprang into action,... outlining specifically what our game plan was & what the outcome would most likely be should I follow his & the court's instructions to the letter. DUI is a VERY serious charge & has changed my life, but Atty Mark Sherman has made this change a positive one. Through the Alcohol Education Program, I was able to get through the next year without missing a beat. I did NOT lose my job; my friends, colleagues, coworkers never knew of my DUI & however difficult and daunting the Alcohol Education Program with my work schedule, I truly reaped the benefits of the MADD Victim Impact Panels as well as the counseling & evaluations/consults & community service recommended by Mark to the court on my behalf. On Mark's advise, i was also able to apply for a work permit so that my life wasn't completely shattered. I keep saying it & it does sound cliche, but this is one individual who truly DID benefit from this 2ND chance- 'lesson-learned'. Each twist & bump in the road, Mark & his staff were there to guide me through the process & literally hold my hand. Looking back, they made this very difficult process go as smoothly as one could hope for. Mark's plan not only worked in having my case dismissed, but opened my eyes & truly DID educate me. I am thankful I called him that scary day. I hate to think what I might be going through right now had I not called him.

Traffic Ticket Dismissed

Mark was able to represent my son and resolve a traffic violation without my son ever needing to go to court, which was especially helpful since he was back in college. He handled all interactions for us and we were very pleased with the results.

As an Attorney and Client, I Can’t Recommend Hiring Mark Sherman Enough

Mark skillfully handled my case and guided me through the worst experience of my life. After backing into another car, I was approached by the police and threatened with charges but released in a strange limbo, not knowing whether charges would be brought. I was extremely distraught. Late that same e...vening, I found Mark’s firm through an extensive internet search and desperate for advice, I called not expecting to reach anyone. Mark took my call and spoke to me at length. The next day, it became evident that I would be charged with evading responsibility. A colleague (also an attorney) referred me to a high-priced partner in one of the older, well-established criminal defense law firms in Hartford where the accident took place. After speaking to this other lawyer, I knew in my gut that Mark was the attorney to hire. BEST DECISION I made. I am 100% convinced that had I hired this other attorney, his advice would have gotten me arrested and printed in the local police blotter (rather than issued a summons) and I would have ended up with Accelerated Rehabilitation hanging over my head for up to 2 years. Instead, Mark convinced the police to quietly issue me a summons and ultimately, got the charges dropped within 30 minutes of him entering the courthouse for my initial appearance. I never stepped foot in a courtroom (which I was dreading) and within minutes of me entering the waiting area of the courthouse, Mark informed me that the charges were dropped and my arrest record would be expunged. Although that result sounds (and felt) like magic, it was the result of 4 weeks of strategic, skillful preparation and hard work that Mark put into my case between the summons and initial court date. Every call, every question, every e-mail was promptly returned. Mark and his staff truly epitomize the best qualities of a great lawyer and firm: professional, dedicated, knowledgeable, discreet and caring. I am an attorney and I can honestly say that this experience – both the awful experience of being charged and the indescribable relief of having those charges dropped – has made me truly appreciate what it means to have a skilled, committed attorney on your side. My advice to you: hire Mark, he is someone you can place your trust in.
