N/A

Mr Sheerin and his staff was a great help in helping me get my disqualification reversed. He kept me updated in every step over the process. His law clerk Maria was also very helpful in the preparation process of my documents. Some law firms just take your money and tell you hope for the best but n...ot the law offices of Kevin P. Sheerin. I would recommend anyone without hesitation,who has a disqualification for any civil service position to hire him. He gets results!!!!!!!!

Saved my Job

When I was given notice that I was being eliminated from the hiring process of my current job, I went to Sheerin Law for help. Kevin Sheerin and his staff were more than helpful and understanding of my circumstances. I had already been told I had been hired and that I was start the academy within th...e next week, but then the rug was pulled out from under me when I was informed that I was being eliminated from the list under entirely ridiculous pretenses. Despite the fact I needed his legal help within the next few days and that I came to him on a Friday, Mr. Sheerin was more than willing to work over the weekend, and help me put together an undeniable appeal to the civil service. Mr. Sheerin realized that the impending decision on my appeal carried incredible weight involving my immediate future and really the rest of my life. His diligence over the finest details of my appeal, ultimately lead to me being put back on the list for my class. I highly recommend that if you are ever in a similar situation as I was, that you look towards Mr. Sheerin for help. It was worth every penny to get myself on the job. I am now set for the rest of my life because of Kevin Sheerin and his staff and I couldn't be more grateful.

civil service disqualification

Mr. Kevin sheerin was obtained by me for a disqualification from a civil service position. His background knowledge and specialty in civil service appeals was very in depth which made the process go very smooth. He prepared a very thorough case and the decision was overturned.

He got me the result I needed

Kevin is knowledgeable, professional, and reasonable. He listened to my concerns and helped me to present it in a straightforward manner. I won my Civil Service Disqualification case with his help and I highly recommend him to anyone going through a similar challenge.
