C from westport

Mark was always reachable; very knowledgable; and, most importantly, solution-oriented. Mark was highly recommended by my divorce lawyer to help deal with a disorderly conduct charge. Despite my anxiety, Mark was able to explain the process to me in a very thoughtful, deliberate manner. He coordinat...ed my defense with a very capable expert, and ensured that my matter was disposed of in an efficiently and effectively. I hope I don't find myself in a situation where I would need his services again, but if I do, I am confident that he would provide the best representation available.

Best DUI/DWI Lawyer

I was currently entering my third year of graduate school when I made the worst decision of my life. I decided to drink and drive after leaving a bar in Newtown, Connecticut. I was pulled over and arrested on the scene. I couldn’t believe I had just thrown away my entire student career because of a s...tupid and irresponsible decision. I never thought something like this would ever happen to me. The next day I went online and found a DUI lawyer under The Law Offices of Mark Sherman. After leaving a message, within minutes I received a call from Mark, who not only took my case but reassured me that my life wasn’t over. He discussed the case with my family members and reassured them as well that he was going to get the best possible outcome. He was very thorough in answering any questions that I had and also provided me with steps that we were going to take to not only defend my case, but also get the case dismissed. When going through a first arrest, you want reassurance and things made simple for you because you’re under so much stress and pressure. Mark and his staff could not have done a better job of this as their skills, service to my cause, and responsiveness went above and beyond. I cannot speak more highly of Mark who helped to get me where I am today. Any time I had a question he allowed me to call or text his personal cell phone and would answer immediately. He is in my opinion the best DUI lawyer in Newtown Connecticut. As part of the requirements for my school, we must notify them if anything like this happens. Mark worked with my school and smoothed things over. He wrote a letter to my dean explaining my case and reassured them that my case would be dismissed. My school not only felt comfortable with Mark’s letter, but also reassured me that no action would be taken by the school. He not only defended my case, but also defended me to allow me to stay in school. I could not have imagined working with anyone else but Mark and his staff. They honestly went above and beyond to give me a second chance. It has been a year later and my case has officially been dismissed. It is a mistake I know will never occur again and thanks to Mark I was given a second chance. I’m so proud to say that I will be graduating from school in the Spring. I highly recommend Mark Sherman and his Office for representation of anyone who’s been arrested for DUI/DWI around the Newton, Connecticut area.

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.
