"Not too many people can say they wrote the book on DUI, but Michael has in fact done so. Michael has been a valuable source and mentor to many in the legal community. Some say that you can either teach or do. Well Michael has consistently demonstrated that he can not only teach fellow attorneys he can successfully defend those wrongfully accused in criminal court."
"Michael Sherman is a skilled advocate and is constantly working to increase his knowledge and skill set for his clients."
"I’m an appellate lawyer. This means I am only able to work with what the lawyer before me did. Luckily, I’ve had the benefit of a Mike Sherman record. He tells a compelling story, makes spot-on objections, and knows the law. Mike is a fighter, and he does it with integrity. He won’t brag about past results out of respect for jurors, judges, opposing counsel, and his clients. If someone I know unfortunately faces a DUI in Pittsburgh, I recommend Mike Sherman."
"Mr. Sherman is an outstanding attorney who provides exemplary advice on Avvo. I would recommend everyone and anyone to him for representation. Even though I have been practicing fo 24 years, as a judge, magistrate, prosecutors, and in private practice, I learn valuable new information from him every day. A superb attorney."

I highly recommend this lawyer and would do so to my friends and family. If you have a DUI charge in Pittsburgh, do yourself a favor and hire this lawyer."
"I know Michael S. Sherman through our mutual association in the National College for DUI/DWI DefenseI where I have had opportunity to witness his demonstration of trial techniques. He is a skillful cross-examiner and delivers a brilliant closing statement. He has the skill, ability, passion and dedication necessary to represent persons accused of drunk driving and like offenses at the highest professional level. In fact, I would not hesitate in recommending his services to a close friend or relative should the need arise in the geographic area Michael S. Sherman serves. I endorse this lawyer."
"Attorney Sherman is the one to choose if you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and competent attorney. He will fight for you when other attorneys would just give up.

I can tell you that I know Mike personally and I would trust him to represent the most important people in my life."
"Michael Sherman is an amazing attorney and one that you can trust!!! I would recommend him to anyone that has been charged with a DUI/DAI in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area. There are not many attorneys that have the knowledge and expertise that he has and he is well respected in the community because of this. If you have Attorney Sherman on your side when you walk into Court there is no doubt that he will do everything to make sure you get the best result. ."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Sherman is quietly becoming one of the best DUI lawyers in the nation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I recently took the Terrance Mccarthy cross examination seminar with Mr. Sherman. Mr. Sherman is an excellent trial attorney and an outstanding member of the National College of Dui Defense. I would definitely recommend Mr. Sherman if a close friend or a family member was charged with a DUI."

Michael's excellent reputation is not only known in Pennsylvania, but extends nationally - a true testament to his dedication and status among attorneys focusing on DUI and Criminal Defense.
