Ryan Alexander O'Neill

I would recommend Ryan O'Neill to anyone needing an attorney in CT. I was arrested on a 4 year old warrant that I knew nothing about. I was scared, confused, in shock, and depressed. I did free consults with 3 other lawyers before hiring Ryan. All the other lawyers treated me like a criminal. Th...ey all just assumed I was guilty and didn't even want to hear my side of the story. Ryan was different. He listened to me. He didn't treat me like a criminal - he treated me like a person. He was patient, kind, and understanding. He talked to me twice on the phone before I even signed on with him. He was reassuring and let me ask all the questions I needed. He took the time to explain things to me and made sure I understood my options and the steps involved. Ryan listened to what I wanted. By working diligently and communicating with the prosecutor, Ryan was able to get my charge nolled and immediately dismissed. It was the outcome I wanted. Ryan was professional and easy to talk to. I'm glad I found him in my time of need.

Ryan was my attorney for charges against me stemming from a domestic dispute in Norwalk, CT. Immediately after hiring Ryan he was able to explain to me what each charge could potentially mean. All three charges: 3rd degree assault, disorderly conduct and interfering with a 911 call were dismissed... even quicker than I had hoped (less than a year from when I was charged). Ryan was prepared and professional at all times and communicated with the judge, prosecutor, and all other parties involved very well, as shown by all charges being dismissed. He also made sure that I understood everything: what my options were, potential roadblocks/concerns, etc.

I can't say how lucky - and grateful - I am that Ryan O'Neill picked up my phone call one stressful Sunday morning when my world was spinning and I had no idea who to turn to. He was patient, thorough, transparent and knowledgeable. Whether or not I absolutely needed to hire a lawyer for my case, I a...m beyond glad that I did. Despite being a well-educated, tax-paying, law-abiding citizen, I couldn't have been less familiar with our criminal justice system, apart from having served my time on a grand jury over a decade ago. How anyone can be expected to navigate the system alone is beyond me. Ryan led me through the process, told me what to expect next, reassured me along the way, stood by my side in what could arguably be the worst days of my life, and helped me get the favorable result we hoped for in record time. He was truly my partner throughout the whole awful process. I sincerely hope I never need help of this nature again, but if I do I will absolutely go back to the Law Offices of Mark Sherman for assistance.

I am extremely grateful we hired Ryan O'Neill, with Mark Sherman Law LLC. He went above and beyond, and achieved an even more favorable result than we'd hoped and planned for, and as a direct result of his efforts, he exceeding our expectations. I've no doubt in my mind that we hired the right atto...rney, and will whole-heartedly refer others to this firm, and to Ryan. I consider him an answered prayer, and am grateful for his efforts with my case. Ryan is a rock solid example of what one seeks in an attorney. At every stage of my interactions with him, Ryan was nothing short of the epitome of professional, approachable, highly knowledgeable legal representation. I would not hesitated to hire him again, though I do hope I won't need to.

From day one, Ryan handled my family member's disorderly conduct case with expertise and empathy. He not only brought the case to a favorable conclusion, he took time to explain things every step of the way. From the first phone call, we knew we had found the right lawyer. Ryan has a terrific sen...se of strategy and knows exactly when to push and when to hold back. When there was a hiccup with scheduling, he straightened it out immediately. He also is highly respected among his peers: his good working rapport with the prosecutor's team helped us feel calm about an upsetting situation. Ryan is a superb communicator: he was readily available, returned phone calls promptly, and didn't mind repeating himself as needed. I cannot recommend Attorney O'Neill more highly. If you are looking for someone in Fairfield County, this is the first call you should make.
