She kept me informed of every detail and every option available, consistently emailing me updates. After each court appearance, she contacted me right away to explain what was discussed. I truly appreciated her communication and professionalism. She was also always available for questions,and always made time to communicate.

John B

Mark Sherman is the Johnny Cochrane of CT! I was referred to him by an attorney friend of mine in Philadelphia. The guy is so on top of everything. He literally saved my life. He is well connected and uses his relationships in a way that looks out for his client without pushing the other attorney; prosecutor; police etc. in a way that will compromise his relationships. Even the police told me after it was all over that I had the best lawyer. He made himself available to us whenever we needed to talk; Vent and even cry. When your life and freedom is on the line you need the best and Mark Is the very best of the best!!!

Her expert guidance and knowledge resulted into a very successful outcome. She is very highly recommended!

John Salib

The team at Mark Sherman LLC was fantastic. They communicated often and thoroughly. They got to know me, they listened, asked questions and explained the issues to me clearly. They prepared well and got the best result I hoped for.

Sam

He gave such a detailed consultation about everything I needed to do just in case I did this on my own. I have a complicated DV case as the victim. This was handled with so much compassion and honesty. He even gave referrals in case I needed one. At the very least, if you don’t hire him, get a consultation because he cares. I know he’d fight super hard for you and for me. It’s 1000% worth it.

FAQs

Why Do I Need a Criminal Attorney Even if I Am Not Guilty?
Innocence does not prevent police from making an arrest or prosecutors from filing charges based on incomplete or disputed information. An attorney can protect you from damaging statements, preserve evidence, challenge the prosecution’s version of events, and present facts that may not appear in the police report.
How Does an Attorney Build a Defense?
A Connecticut criminal defense attorney reviews the charging documents, police reports, video, witness statements, digital records, physical evidence, and the procedures officers used during the investigation. The defense can then focus on unreliable testimony, missing proof, unlawful searches, mistaken identity, lack of intent, or another weakness specific to the charge.
How Soon Should I Contact a Defense Attorney?
You should contact an attorney as soon as you learn that police, a school, DCF, or another agency is investigating you. Early involvement gives the defense more time to preserve evidence, prepare you for questioning, address release conditions, and prevent avoidable mistakes before the first court appearance. A Connecticut criminal defense lawyer can review the accusation, explain the immediate risks, and identify the defense options available to you. Contact Mark Sherman Law today to discuss your case.
