Darien, CT DUI

I retained Mark Sherman for a DUI case, and he did a phenomenal job for me. As I got to know Mark, I found him to be extremely professional, punctual, easy to reach, and I believe that he truly cares about his clients. He also has a team of very competent, professional attorneys and paralegals suppor...ting him, which allows him to get more done in a shorter amount of time. I am a business professional who relies on a great reputation and driver’s license to do my job. In the summer of 2011 I was charged with a DUI in Darien, CT. The worst thing about the situation is that it was my second offense which carries a mandatory jail sentence, and is also a felony. Knowing that if I went to jail I would lose my job and my reputation, I knew that jail was not an option for me. The only other option was to go to trial. Over the next few years Mark kept in touch with me, and when the case was getting ready to go to trial, Mark was able to effectively negotiate a great deal with the State for me. He was able to get the charge reduced to a 1st offense, and in the end, I was able to keep my job, my license, and my reputation. Marks legal expertise was truly a life saver. Because of him, I have been able to live a free life with no disruption, and avoid having a felony on my record. I would strongly recommend Mark to anyone for all of the reasons listed above and more.

Never even saw the courtroom!

Mark is the epitome of a true professional -- calm, forthright, confident and on point. I contacted his firm (online) and received a return call from Mark himself -- I knew I was in the right hands -- he called back within minutes of my inquiry and was prepared to discuss my case. While I felt l...ike my world was closing in, Mark calmly walked me through my situation, options and likely outcomes -- I was arrested for evading responsibility in Fairfield, CT. We went to court twice and I never saw the courtroom -- Mark deftly managed my case and six weeks from the time of the incident the case was dismissed! What could have been a terrible situation was handled with a level of professionalism and expertise that I never imagined possible. Thank you Mark.

Extremely helpful and achieved great result

Mr. Sherman was able to assist me on a charge in the Danbury area on a very short time schedule. Helped to resolve issue in order to prevent any consequences with a job I was soon to be starting. He was able to work very quickly through the court system to get the best possible result with the leas...t amount of discomfort possible. I would highly recommend his services.

Excellent Client Service and Result

I contacted Mark Sherman's offices after receiving a speeding ticket in Danbury. Although I'm a practicing attorney in NYC, I am unfamiliar with the legal market in CT, so I located Mark Sherman's offices through online resources. I didn't know what to expect, but was impressed beginning with my fir...st call to the firm. I was immediately connected with an attorney (Mike Bivona; licensed in both CT and NY) who explained to me the process for disputing tickets in Danbury, CT, and the costs involved in fighting my ticket (in my case, a very reasonable fixed fee). Based on my very positive impression coming out of that conversation, I immediately retained the offices of Mark Sherman, and from then on was kept apprised of status (without my having to call just to check in). It was nearly 5 months before the hearing, but was contacted as soon as a hearing date was scheduled. I was further impressed when Mark Sherman then called me on the morning of the hearing to explain that the ticket had been dismissed and described how the hearing went. As a practicing attorney, I know how unusual it can be to receive the level of client service and personal attention I experienced with Mike Bivona and Mark Sherman. Mike was extraordinarily responsive throughout the process (taking my calls on the occasions I called, and responding to e-mails almost immediately), and Mark himself handled the hearing. Suffice it to say that even if the result had not been perfect (which it was), I had absolute confidence that Mark and his team did everything they could and should to ensure the best possible result. I highly, highly recommend Mark and his team, and would absolutely use them again (even though I hope I don't have to!). Thanks to Mark and Mike, the ticket was dismissed. He even handled the minor hearing fee (to avoid the hassle of my corresponding with the court administrator), which I then reimbursed him for after the hearing. Win, win, win on all counts. --SCH

Excellent Internet Scrubbing Service Provided

Mark and his team help to remove publications of my dismissed charges that would have ruined my reputation online forever! I felt so afraid and ashamed and didn't know what I could do to clear my name online, but when I found his website, I knew I had to try. I'm so glad that I did because he got the... results I was looking for and aggressively pursued the publishers immediately upon hiring. I could have never achieved these results on my own. If you find yourself in this situation, don't hesitate, talk to Mark! My call was returned that very day, and he immediately went to work contacting the publisher and even followed through with updating Google indexes. I highly recommend his law firm to anyone serious about repairing their online reputation after an arrest and dismissal. Don't give up, call Mark Sherman!
