School bullying

Mark Sherman was referred to me by a family member. My 7th grade son was being bullied at school and received a very threatening text message from another 7th grade boy. I was very upset with the way the school and Wilton police department handled the situation. I pressed charges and thought th...at he would be arrested for threatening my son's life, but that was not the case. When I called the school and the police department all I was being told was they could not give me any information on the situation because of the boy's age, but that my son was safe. As a parent being told to not worry and to trust them with your child safety blindly is hard to swallow. I called Mark and he was able to get answers for me. Mark was quick and responsive and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

getting my Greenwich speeding ticket ripped up

The lawyer, Mark Sherman was extremely helpful. When I got a Greenwich speeding ticket, I had to get it ripped up because it was a third offense. They were easy to communicate and they got the job done right. No guilty plea, no fines! I didn’t have to step foot in court. It was worth calling him and ...I can still drive. I would recommend him to any of my Family and friends.

A saving grace from misdemeanors to multiple infractions

In 2008, I first worked with Mark on an unfortunate DUI case. There were no accidents or injuries, but I was underage and registered a high BAC. Through the course of a few months, he managed to have the judge and prosecutor to agree to expunge the charge completely from my record at the price of a s...uspended license for half a year, community service and a drinking and driving related program. I thought then, as I do now, that was a fair deal. It's great to be able to say "No" to prior convictions in job interviews. 8 years later, I summoned his help again for accruing too many infractions, from speeding tickets, to failure to drive right, to not having insurance and registration (a Stamford officer, a particularly shade police force in this county, lied about the third one). By DMV rules I would have lost my license for at least 6 months, but Mark managed to nolle each of the tickets that put me over the limit, restoring my license 3 weeks into my sentence. Mark has been a great resource to my entire family and I encourage anyone who can afford Mark's service to invest in it.

Excellent lawyer dealing with adolescents

Not only did Mark effectively make charges that were unfair but could impact the child's future go away, but he also took the time to educate and influence our child on all the less obvious risks that exist when you are a young person in high school and college. This was invaluable!

Stamford CT DCF Investigation

It was 5:30 in the evening my wife and I were headed to pick up our children to head out for a long weekend when a woman waived us down from the street. The woman was from DCF and wanted to talk to my wife. My daughter had told her teacher at school her daddy had kicked her. This was not a true st...atement and the investigator had already spoke to my other daughter at school that day who had refuted the claim. This was a scary time as I was being investigated for a crime I did not commit. I tried to find counsel quickly and Mark Sherman returned my calls within the day when I reached out to him. He was able to meet with my wife and me within the week. The good news is DCF closed their investigation in a few weeks without being able to substantiate my daughters initial false claim. Mark was at our home both times that DCF came to interview my wife, my children and me. He added a great deal of peace of mind as he was knowledgeable of the process, was a party to all of the interviews conducted and had worked with the DCF investigator previously. While I would hope no one is wrongfully accused of child abuse, if it does happen I would recommend Mark Sherman as your advocate.
