Mark Sherman review

Mark Sherman was thorough, communicative and forthcoming. He clearly explained the facts and process regarding our case. He was guardedly optimistic, and reviewed all possible outcomes. He exuded a relaxed confidence which comes with experience, and maintained the same manor while submitting statemen...ts to the authorities. I would recommend Mr. Sherman to friends and associates.

Mark was most understanding, thoughtful and professional in his legal recommendations regarding the theft of a property investment . My co investors and I were victims of a very complicated scenario. Mark was very diligent and spot on with his legal expertise.resulting in the recovery of our invest...ment. We could not be happier or more appreciative of Mark and his team.

Leading NY/CT Defense Lawyer

I was referred to Mark by a friend, who had also been a client, after I was charged with possession of cocaine in Ct and I could not be more pleased with the job he did. I live and work full-time in Manhattan and he made the entire process as painless as possible. His professionalism, expertise, resp...ectfulness, and dedication to my case (albeit one of his smaller ones) was phenomenal and the best experience I have had with an attorney. Additionally, he was personally responsive to all my emails and requests and was one phone call away at all times. I would strongly encourage someone to consider Mark.

I owe my freedom and life prospects to Mark

I retained Mark’s services after being suspended from college for theft. At the time, I had just (stupidly!) given a full confession to school detectives after they served a search warrant; as someone with zero criminal past, I was terrified of the prospect of a felony record. Even a misdemeanor thef...t record would be a career killer. I searched for a lawyer with a strong track record of defending college students, and found Mark from his website. From the start, Mark was entirely forthcoming about the range of outcomes and his defense plan. He made it clear he would strive for nothing less than a full dismissal of charges, and he dispelled the police lies that I believed- that I wouldn’t be arrested and charged, they just wanted the property back, etc.- and immediately put me in addiction counseling, GA, and classes, to build my defense. He notified me when my arrest warrant, charging me with 7 class B and C felonies, was issued and negotiated zero bond with the prosecutor. Not only did he walk me into jail, but he wrote his phone number on a dollar bill he gave to me. He meticulously analyzed every prosecutorial document- the warrant affidavit, police reports, and discovery file, taking no chances and leaving no stone unturned. Throughout the months of uncertainty and angst, he patiently answered all my questions promptly and in detail; he expertly managed my expectations and never judged me. Mark perfectly executed every aspect of my defense. His team produced an incredibly flattering memo (the judge specifically commended Mark for the quality of the memo), reflecting my accomplishments in high school and college, and carefully vetted character reference letters and one from my counselor. Every detail, such as my log of GA attendance, was reviewed. Every next step was mapped out weeks in advance. His experience showed in his poise in court and in his relationships with the local prosecutor and cops. Many lawyers are intelligent, but Mark is exceptionally sharp and perceptive. Going into my final court hearing, I was incredibly nervous, but Mark was calm and confident, very much the consummate professional. Ultimately, Mark hit a grand slam: FULL dismissal of 7 felony charges, one-year probation, no court mandated counseling, and a restitution amount less than half of what the state sought. He delivered the absolute best possible outcome I could’ve hoped for, a testament to his planning, detail orientation, expertise, and sterling negotiating skills. To get the best outcome, the quality of your legal representation matters as much as the merits of your case; the difference between hiring a any lawyer (forget about a public defender) versus Mark is the difference between getting a misdemeanor plea deal versus getting a full dismissal. I trusted my freedom and future to Mark, I could not have placed them in better hands. Retain the best, retain Mark.
