Professional, Thorough and Responsive

I recently contacted the law office for assistance with a traffic violation and was referred to Attorney Bivona. He was very professional and thorough and kept me well informed throughout the case. It was a pleasure working with him and the firm.

Brilliant, Simply Brilliant

Michael is, by far, one of the best criminal defense attorneys I have ever worked with - and that says a lot when you need one in an unfortunate situation as I did! Michael clearly explained my options, was professional, yet kind and caring, and worked tirelessly for a result I never could have hope...d for. He is simply amazing as a person, a lawyer, and an advocate for his clients. I would highly recommend him, and rely 100% on his judgment. He is also clearly respected in the court by all who work there, judges, lawyers, and clerks alike. Simply the best.

Highly recommend this excellent attorney!

I highly recommend Michael Bivona and his firm, Mark Sherman Law, if you need an excellent attorney. I knew absolutely no one in Connecticut or surrounding area when I needed to hire an attorney for a family member. Fortunately for us, Michael's firm was recommended. When I met Michael, I knew my ...family member was in good hands. Michael was caring and compassionate from the beginning and never wavered in his professionalism, patience and persistence on our behalf. He was always quick to return phone calls or texts and took the time to answer all questions my family had. Michael and his firm including the owner of the firm, Mark Sherman, were constant advocates for us in court. Both are highly respected by all the officials in the court system and my family is 100% satisfied with the resolution Michael was instrumental in getting for us in the court.

Excellent Attorney

Michael is a wonderful lawyer. He saw my husband and I through an awful ordeal. We found ourselves charged with a felony and the subject of unwanted media attention. Mike was there for us from day one. He immediately went to work on our behalf to ensure a favorable outcome. He was very thorough a...nd explained everything to us in great detail. He was available via phone, text or email at any time. He is very well spoken and compassionate. He worked diligently for us and thankfully our charges were dropped. I can't say enough positive things about Mike. I highly recommended him to anyone needing an attorney.
