Brad Sherman oversees all legal matters at the firm. "I value honesty, trust and fairness and work hard to assure my clients that their trust in me is well placed."Board certification: I have been board certified since 2003 by the Florida Bar in the area of criminal trial law. Board Certification allows you to weed out the attorneys who avoid trials. Don't be surprised by the fact that the majority of criminal defense attorneys avoid trial work, and they mislead their Clients about that fact. You must ask your attorney about his or her past trials: the case numbers, the dates the case went to trial, the facts and issues involved and the results. Common sense tells you that a prosecutor would not be inclined to make a generous plea offer to an attorney who is known to never go to trial.
