Great experience with charges dismissed!

Mark was great to work with and made a very stressful time much easier to deal with. He worked hard for me to get my Breach of Peace case dismissed quickly and with minimal court appearances. Both Mark and his staff were exceptional and very professional. Communication was perfect and everything f...lowed very smoothly. I highly recommend Mark and would definitely use him in the future.

Excellent Results - Glad I changed Attorneys

I live in one of the "W" towns in Fairfield and was involved in a domestic dispute where I was accused of something I didn't do. As you can imagine, I was horrified to be thrust into the legal system, especially because of a vengeful family member. I initially consulted another attorney who told me a...bout the concept of a nolle and told me that was the best resolution. He made it seem as if a nolle was the same as a dismissal, but fortunately I was able to research the difference. When I asked about a dismissal, he told me it was not possible. That's when I went to Mark. Mark knew exactly what to do in these types of situations (which are far more common than we would all think) and was able to secure a dismissal of the charge. Since the charge was false, the dismissal was the most appropriate resolution for this issue, and it's scary that I could have ended up with a nolle instead and not known the difference. I highly recommend Mark - I really don't think you can find better in Connecticut.

Stamford CT possession with intent to sell

I got arrested a year ago for possession with intent to sell in Stamford CT. I was lucky enough to get Mark Sherman to represent me. I was a complete nervous wreck when I met him for the first consultation he assured me from the start and calmed me down with his cool and calm demeanor. Before I even ...got to the court for my first hearing he already struck a deal with the prosecutor and had all the felony charges dropped. I was first in line to see the judge and was out of there within an hour of arriving. Same story with the next hearing but it was even faster. He got me a great deal. I didn't have to do any probation just a little community service and counseling with a therapist. I didn't even have to show up for my last court date. He got everything dropped and expunged. The arrest had little to no impact on my life. He turned something that could've destroyed me into a minor inconvenience! He is without a doubt the best criminal defense lawyer is Stamford and possibly the Entire state of CT! If anyone has any kind of need for a criminal defense lawyer, especially in Stamford. Especially anything drug or alcohol related you would be seriously amiss not to have Mark on your side.

Disorderly Conduct Charges, CT Pistol Permit and Firearms/Ammo Seized

If you ever find yourself in a situation that requires legal representation, hire the law offices of Mark Sherman. I cannot place any greater emphasis on the important of engaging the very best legal team should you need it and attorney Mark Sherman is the very best! He and his associate, Michael B...ivona, successfully represented my son and I concerning disorderly conduct charges, which also resulted in the Stamford Police seizing my CT Pistol Permit and collection of prized antique and modern firearms. Attorneys Sherman and Bivona, skillfully and professionally maneuvered us through the entire ordeal. In very short time, Mark Sherman and team were able to get the State’s District Attorney to effectively drop (nolle) our case. Further, with assistance from attorney Michael Bivona, the Stamford Courts ordered the return of my firearm collection and succeeded in representing me in the reinstatement and return of the CT Pistol Permit. While I wish our ordeal never occurred in the first place, the best decision we made was to hire the legal services of the law offices of Mark Sherman.

Dismissed Minor in Possession of Alcohol

I am a mother of two boys who were charged by the Darien police with minor in possession of alcohol. I found Mark Sherman through him speaking at my sons' school, where he was educating the students on their rights. Mr. Sherman was able to get the charges dismissed without my sons ever having to appe...ar in court. He was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Stamford area.
