The Law Offices of Mark Sherman

Divorce
Child Support
The Stamford Superior Court is located at 123 Hoyt Street in Stamford. It is situated directly adjacent to the Stamford Police Station. The Stamford courthouse seats the civil court, family and divorce courts, criminal courts, juvenile arrest court, motor vehicle and traffic court, small claims court, complex litigation court and child support enforcement court. Housing and landlord-tenant court for Greenwich landlord-tenant matters is actually located in Norwalk Superior Court, 17 Belden Avenue, Norwalk, Connecticut. If you are arrested for a misdemeanor or felony charges in Stamford, Darien or Greenwich, then you will be required to appear in Stamford Superior Court to answer and fight your charges.
Child Custody and Visitation
Employment losses, online publication of mug shots and conviction, license revocations, alteration of existing child custody arrangements, mandatory sex offender registry and overall societal stigma are just a few of the consequences that can make a normal, productive life extremely challenging to achieve. Contacting a Westport criminal lawyer who can help someone prepare for trial may be vital to their case.
Adoption
Child Abuse
The State of Connecticut’s Department of Children and Families (DCF) is charged with protecting the welfare and safety of all Connecticut children. One of their primary goals is to investigate and intervene on all child neglect and abuse allegations. DCF has a reservoir of resources. It also has the power to come to your home, knock on your door, and investigate every aspect of your family’s life, including your child’s personal life, social life and educational life. While DCF’s intentions are generally well-placed, their reach is often excessive, and if you are not properly defended by a top DCF lawyer in Connecticut, you could find yourself and your family unnecessarily subjected to DCF intervention and restrictions for months, or even years.

Criminal Defense
The firm’s top Connecticut criminal law lawyers are committed to providing high standards of service and achieving the best results for our clients. We fully appreciate the anxiety and impact navigating the criminal justice process can have on our clients, and we pride ourselves on providing reliable guidance our clients can depend on. Learn More About Our Team
DUI/DWI
Connecticut is notorious for being tough on drunk driving. The crime of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated is perhaps one of the most frequently charged crimes in Connecticut. As any top Connecticut DUI attorney could tell you, police are charging hundreds of Connecticut drivers with this crime. As a result, these drivers are losing their licenses and facing stiff fines and penalties in local criminal courthouses.
Traffic Violations
Police efforts to charge Fairfield County drivers with more traffic and speeding tickets and moving violations are on the rise. The purpose is twofold–first, to help make Connecticut roads and highways safer. Second, to generate additional revenue through excessive and unnecessary fines on Connecticut drivers who in some cases should just be issued warnings. Our criminal lawyers routinely get calls from motorists who are just trying to get to work, get their kids to school, or get home after a long day. To get slapped with a stiff fine for a moving violation—that also carries insurance and DMV consequences—just does not seem fair. Therefore if you have been issued a speeding ticket or traffic ticket for a moving violation in Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, New Canaan, Darien, Wilton or Westport, then you should call an experienced traffic and speeding ticket attorney at Mark Sherman Law.
Sex Crimes
It is important to take any charge of sexual misconduct or an alleged sex crime seriously, and that typically means it is important to retain a qualified criminal attorney. Allowing an experienced Connecticut sex crimes lawyer to evaluate the circumstances of your situation could help you decide on the best course of action given your specific circumstances.
Robbery
Danbury is one of the safer cities in Connecticut. In 2013, it experienced the lowest crime rate for major crimes that it had seen in about 20 years. However, Danbury still has its fair share of property crimes. Property crimes account for the majority of crimes occurring in Danbury, and include Danbury burglaries, larcenies, ordinary thefts and motor vehicle thefts. Video surveillance has become increasingly useful to Danbury prosecutors in charging and prosecuting Danbury larceny, burglary and robbery cases. A top Danbury criminal lawyer, with experience in defending Danbury larcenies and burglaries, will help you develop the best defense strategies to fight your Danbury larceny arrest.
Burglary
New Canaan Connecticut is a little over 20 miles in area and is subdivided into smaller sections that include Pinneys Corners, Smith Ridge Road, Talmadge Hill, Ponus Ridge, and the Town Center. The one-hour Metro North route connecting New Canaan to New York City has made New Canaan an attractive residence for wealthy commuters. In 2013, the community was ranked Number 5 on CNN Money’s top earning towns in the United States. With such a high profile for wealth, it is no surprise that New Canaan has often become a target for property crime arrests in New Canaan for larceny, burglary, and criminal mischief. Additionally, New Canaan arrests for domestic violence, DUI / DWI arrests, and Minors in Possession of Alcohol are equally prevalent in town. So if you are arrested in New Canaan Connecticut, it is important to consult a top criminal lawyer as soon as possible to understand your rights and choose the most fitting defense strategy to try and get your case dismissed.
White Collar Crimes
Theft
Misdemeanors
When a college or high school student gets arrested, it’s a double-edged sword. That’s because they will now face both Connecticut criminal and school discipline proceedings. For even a low-level misdemeanor, these charges can result in jail sentences. However, students attending private schools, colleges and universities have even more problems to be concerned about, such as expulsions, suspensions, and civil lawsuits.
Embezzlement
With all the personal wealth and multimillion dollar mansions in Greenwich, the town’s vulnerability to property crimes, larceny, theft, embezzlement and high profile jewelry heists has been tested in recent years. Plus, the easy access from downtown Greenwich to Interstate 95 (I-95) has made downtown Greenwich an attractive target for thieves planning quick getaways across state lines. The investigation of property crimes rely heavily on video surveillance evidence and appraisals of property, all of which can be challenged by any of the best Greenwich criminal attorneys.
Drug Crimes
If you are facing drug charges in CT—whether for possession of marijuana, prescription drugs, narcotics, drug paraphernalia, or for selling or delivering drugs—you need a top Connecticut drug lawyer by your side.
Assault
Officers who are trained in responding to Connecticut domestic violence charges are instructed to investigate both sides of the story and to closely observe and inspect each person involved, primarily to figure out which person is telling the truth. If there are accusations of physical contact or violence, then the police will carefully examine an alleged victim’s body for marks, bruises and any signs of abuse or struggle. That’s when police will decide which, if any, domestic violence assault charges are warranted and whether they should arrest one or both parties involved.
Murder
KISSEL MURDER CASE. In 2008, Mark received national attention for his representation of Leonard Trujillo, Jr., who faced the death penalty for his role in the death of Greenwich businessman Andrew Kissel. The capital murder charges were ultimately dropped, and Mr. Trujillo pled to reduced charges.
Juvenile Crimes
As the top Danbury juvenile criminal lawyers note, in addition to dealing with the criminal court consequences of a Danbury juvenile arrest, there are Danbury school discipline and expulsion consequences. Danbury high schools can suspend or expel you if you are arrested in Danbury for a serious juvenile crime so be sure to contact a Danbury juvenile criminal lawyer prior to having your son or daughter speak with an SRO or school administrators.
Identity Theft
Located in the heart of Fairfield County, the Town of Darien, Connecticut is home to approximately 20,000 residents. It is bordered by Stamford on the West, New Canaan on the North, Norwalk on the East, and the Long Island Sound to its South. It is 23.4 square miles in area and nearly half of that is made up of water. Some of Darien’s larger neighborhoods include Noroton, Noroton Heights, and Tokeneke. It is no secret that the Town of Darien is home to some of the wealthiest families in Connecticut. In 2011, CNN placed Darien as the 9th “top-earning towns” in the United States. Many successful business professionals reside here, many who commute to New York City. And unfortunately, as the best Darien criminal lawyers would admit, where there’s wealth, there is a possibility of crime—especially property crimes that are committed in the form of larcenies, burglaries, credit card theft, and identity theft, all of which are commonly prosecuted in Darien.
Homicide
The Connecticut Penal Code outlines a range of crimes that includes everything from homicide to prostitution to breach of peace. These provisions also set forth the types of penalties that can be imposed on those found guilty of the acts described therein, with many of them truly life-altering in nature.
Arson
Shoplifting
It is important to note that shoplifting is one example of a theft charge that can result in a larceny arrest even if the individual never actually takes the property out of a store. If a person simply conceals the object while still in the store, Connecticut police can arrest you for larceny or shoplifting. Speak to a Connecticut lawyer to start building your defense against the theft charges.
Restraining Order
A criminal assault charge is treated a bit differently in a domestic violence courtroom than in any other setting. Specifically, if you are accused of assaulting your husband, wife, life partner, child, or any other family member (as opposed to getting in a road rage fight or bar fight with a stranger), you will be arrested and summoned to court on the very next business morning for your domestic violence arraignment. Unless you have hired an experienced Connecticut assault lawyer to represent you at your domestic violence arraignment, plan on spending most of that day at the courthouse. At this arraignment, you will be asked to speak to family relations workers whose job it is to make recommendations to the Superior Court judge regarding the appropriate level of the restraining order —or criminal protective order—that will be issued against you.
Forgery
Money Laundering
Manslaughter
MURDER CHARGES DIMISSED. In 2014, Mark represented 1 of 3 men arrested for a murder in Stamford. After years of investigating and fighting the case, and refusing all manslaughter offers, the murder charges were dismissed against Mark’s client and he was released from prison. For more on the story, click here.
Prostitution
Prostitution related arrests can occur anywhere, but the top Foxwoods Casino criminal lawyer and the best New London Connecticut criminal lawyers and attorneys know that casinos can often be a prime target of Connecticut police prostitution sting operations. Obviously, casinos like Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods tend to attract wealthy men, who tend to attract prostitutes and escorts. As a result, Foxwoods police, along with New London police, will often set up surveillance stings in nearby hotels and bars to try and arrest you in Connecticut for Patronizing Prostitution.
Extortion
There are also certain types of theft that increase the seriousness of the potential punishment, regardless of the value of the items. For example, theft of a car is always a serious allegation. As is extortion or theft off of a person’s body. All theft allegations carry a potential jail sentence and can result in a person having a criminal record.

Wrongful Termination
STAMFORD HIGH SEX SCANDAL. In 2014, Mark made national news for representing a Connecticut high school principal arrested—and falsely accused—for failing to report a teacher-student affair to Connecticut Department of Children & Families. All charges were dismissed and Firm Partner Ryan O’Neill then sued the City in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
Employment Discrimination
Title IX is a broad law enacted as part of the Educational Amendments of 1972. It applies to issues of alleged sex discrimination, harassment, and misconduct. For more info about Title IX, check out our recent post on changes to Title IX that will take effect August 14, 2020.
Sexual Harassment
If you are being accused of a Title IX sexual harassment violation at Sacred Heart University, contact a top Connecticut Title IX defense lawyer today.

Landlord-Tenant Disputes

Personal Injury
You will need the help of an attorney who understands all the legal issues affecting your case and who can identify factors that weigh in your favor to make the best of this opportunity, preferably not a divorce or personal injury lawyer who dabbles in Connecticut criminal law.
