Great Experience

We had DCFS come to investigate unfounded charges. Mr. Sherman was responsive, available and actually cares about what is right for kids. He knows the process and he knows the law. He walked us through the investigation process and made it very simple and stress free. We just got our letter that the... case is closed. Best money ever spent!

Highly Recommended Lawyer

We found ourselves embroiled in a Dependency case against the DCFS. They took custody of our daughter because we were accused of shaking our friend’s baby which to this day is a baseless accusation. We needed an excellent lawyer to represent us in court and so we were referred to Atty. Kenneth Sherma...n, one of the well respected lawyers in the Juvenile Dependency Court. In our first meeting he explained how the court system works since we were still confused and frightened by the accusations hurled at us. He answered all our questions and addressed our concerns. We were always able to reach him and basically felt that he was committed to our case. He helped us fight the charge by refuting it with medical researches and studies. He did not settle for anything less than we deserved and that is to prove our innocence. His cross-examination skills were excellent. The diagnosis made by the medical team of a prominent children’s hospital was ultimately rendered questionable. In the end we won the case. We are truly happy and satisfied with Atty. Sherman’s professional service. Every penny we spent was worth it.

Excellent Juvenile Law Attorney

Mr. Sherman is a man of ethics, integrity, and honesty. There are not many lawyers like him, he truly is the best. He cares for the truth. He fights hard on the case. I could not have asked for a better attorney. His experience and expertise is recognized when he talks about the law. I admire Mr. She...rman for his tough stance to get to the truth of the matter. If you are innocent and feel that you have been accused of something you didn't do, then Mr. Sherman is the best counsel for representation. I recommend him highly to anyone who is looking for an excellent attorney in the area of Juvenile Law. I respect him very much and would hire him again If I had to do it all over again.
