Attorney Sherman is a superior person and professional first, and a stellar lawyer second. He has the ability to empathize with clients and their situations beyond norm, and is able to not only see legal solutions but holistic solutions at the same time. He's far more - far far more - than just a great legal mind. He has interpersonal skills that are superior, has zenith level IQ and EQ's, and has the dexterity to impress Ghandi with his humility, and when needed to impress Ghengis Khan with his intellectual ferocity in protecting and advocating and caring for his client, all at the same time.

John and his team were wonderful to work with. Navigating through a couple years of back and forth, with multiple entities, they provided me an end result that was great. I'd recommend Sherman Law to anyone looking for a solid practice that will execute on your behalf.

I have worked with Sherman Law on more than 3 occasions, for multiple issues. I have found John and his staff to be extremely professional, prompt and responsive. The outcomes of my cases have been more than satisfactory, with expectations clearly spelled out and knowledgeable. My outcomes were better than I expected and John was terrific to work with. I firmly recommend Sherman Law for any legal work you might have.

My experience with Sherman law was nothing short of phenomenal. He was always available to answer questions. His expertise and knowledge helped me to favorably resolve my case much quicker than expected. I suffered a bad injury and did not know where to turn or what to do. He did and really helped me and my family. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a smart, knowledgeable, and aggressive lawyer.

As an employment law resource, Sherman Law Office has become an extension of our HR department. When employment issues arise, we call John Sherman’s team of experts to help us resolve them. They are super responsive and always willing to make the time for us. They understand how all-consuming employment issues can be from the employer perspective which makes their advice invaluable. And when it goes beyond advice, there’s no one else we’d rather have representing us.

I hired Attorney Sherman to represent my interests in a complex family matter involving the guardianship and well being of my elderly father in Massachusetts. There were so many lawyers and others involved that despite previous representation, I felt that I had no voice. Things changed immediately when I hired John. He returned my calls, showed up wherever and whenever he was supposed to, and gave me solid guidance and help navigating the minefields. Moreover, all the other attorneys in the case took notice and began to act differently. I recommend John without reservation and I would not hesitate

I sought counsel and representation from John a few years back. The events and details surrounding my case were extremely personal; the thought of recounting it all was really hard and I dreaded it to the point of feeling sick, but John was amazing. He made me feel comfortable and secure and was consistently professional and thorough in his explanations, making sure I understood everything that was happening and why; yet he was also very personable and I quite like him as person and not just an attorney.
During the year plus that I had him as my lawyer, he was ALWAYS able to be reached. My phone
