I had a consultation with Attorney Sherman today regarding one of my son's legal case. If you are looking for an attorney you must speak with Attorney Sherman, she is understanding, extremely knowledgeable, confident and a strong woman. She will explain potential scenario's and next steps. I highly recommend hiring Attorney Sherman.
I cannot say enough great things about Melissa Sherman and the incredible work she did on my case. I was facing two very serious criminal charges, Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon and Possession of a Weapon or Ammunition by a Convicted Felon. I was overwhelmed, scared, and uncertain about what my future would look like.
After researching different attorneys, I chose Melissa Sherman because of her outstanding reputation, experience, and dedication to her clients. From the very beginning, she treated me with respect, took the time to explain every step of the process, and always made herself available to answer my questions. She gave me confidence and hope during one of the most difficult times of my life.
Melissa fought tirelessly on my behalf, thoroughly prepared my case, and never stopped advocating for me. Thanks to her knowledge, hard work, and commitment, both of my charges were dismissed.
That outcome has completely changed my life. It gave me a second chance, lifted an enormous burden off my shoulders, and allowed me to move forward with my future. I will always be grateful for everything Melissa Sherman did for me.
If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who is compassionate, highly skilled, and genuinely fights for her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa Sherman. She is an exceptional attorney, and I will forever be thankful that she represented me.
Mrs Sherman was an incredible attorney. From the beginning, she was professional, honest, responsive, and truly cared about helping me through the process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions quickly, and always made me feel like I mattered instead of just being another case number.
What stood out most was her dedication and work ethic. She fought hard for me, stayed prepared, and handled my case with confidence and integrity. I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely wanted the best outcome possible.
If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend her.
My daughter had a criminal case pending. This was so scary for the both of us. Melissa Sherman was very professional and always available for our calls. She knew exactly what to do and explained everything so thoroughly. Really put us at ease. I'm so thankful for all her help. My daughter's case was dropped. I really appreciate all her hard work, her time and effort. I would definitely recommend her to others.
So I had hired Melissa Sherman to help me with this case out in Port Charlotte. She did a wonderful job. She was very reassuring because I was so anxious and worried about my case. She reassured me and kept me up to date with everything and told me exactly what to do. My case was dropped and I can clear my name. I really appreciate everything she did for me.
I had an excellent experience working with Melissa Sherman. She stepped in immediately to help resolve a mistaken identity issue that could have easily become stressful and time-consuming.
What stood out most was how personally she handled everything. She took the time to fully understand the situation, didn’t pass me off to someone else, and directly contacted the law enforcement agent involved to clarify the error. That level of responsiveness and ownership made a huge difference.
She was also incredibly generous with her time and even offered to handle the matter without charging because it was relatively small—something you rarely see. I chose to pay her anyway because her professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond deserved it.
If you’re looking for an attorney who is responsive, ethical, and genuinely cares about doing the right thing, I highly recommend her. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.

Ms. Sherman is truly an amazing lawyer. She let's you know exactly how things are going to go and she truly cares about her clients and their outcomes. My husband could have been sentenced to 50 years and Ms. Sherman did everythibg in her power for him and it got dropped to 6 years!!! Hiring her was the best legal decision I could have ever made!!! Thank you for everythibg Melissa!!!
I hired Melissa for my brother after he was ridiculously accused of a crime while his sugar was low and thrown in jail because of it. She worked hard to figure things out and was sure to quickly answer any emails. I got a phone call right away if there was an update Within days, she had the charges dropped. Micheal, her assistant, is so very kind and helpful! 100 percent recommend!

Thank you!
My family and I went on vacation to Captiva Island. My adult daughters went to a bar, and was in an unfortunate incident were there was a fight. In an attempt to stop the fight one of my daughters pulled off a man and is necklace broke off. She was arrested for for theft. As he stated his necklace was very valuable. It was one of the worst experiences of our lives. We were not from the area. We had no idea what to do. On google, we did a lawyer search and Melissa Shermans name came up. We called and and she did a video call with us. She spend more than and hour talking to us. She told us what to expect gave us a very affordable payment option and she took care of the rest. The charges were dropped. She answered all our emails promptly. Her assistant answered all our calls and always seem to know exactly what was happening. I have only ever had to deal with a lawyer on other time and never were they nice or prompt. Melissa and her staff were kind, honest and encouraging at this very trying time. Just to let you know, I never went into her office or met her in person. She dealt with us through face time, emails and phone calls, as were are from the mid west. But I would highly recommend her and I give her 5 stars.
Thanks to Melissa Sherman my charges got dropped don’t hesitate to make her your lawyer thanks again!!!!
Attorney Melissa Sherman would receive ten stars if that was possible. Attorney Sherman and I had a consultation and her passion and professionalism exudes with sincerity from the moment we started to speak. I would recommend this attorney to anyone I know. 10 out of 10! Do yourself justice, and hire this incredible attorney.

Thank you so much! Please let us know if we can help you any further.
Attorney Sherman is truly amazing at what she does. You can trust her to fight for justice, just like she did for my brother. If you’re looking for the best criminal defense attorney in Lee County, look no further. She was incredible during the trial—professional, prepared, and completely dedicated. My brother was facing 30–60 years in prison for charges he did not deserve, and she fought tirelessly to make sure the truth came out.
Thank you again for essentially saving my brother’s life and giving our family hope again. We will always be grateful.
My friend was facing a trial for up to 60 years and I don’t know what would have happened if the Sherman law group didn’t step in needless to say for the rest of my life if anyone’s been accused of anything I’m referring them here.
I am so thankful that I found and retained Attorney Sherman to help my son with his case. From the beginning, she treated my son as a human being - with dignity and compassion. She took the time to understand both him and the facts of his case, and she guided us through the process with clarity and care. Because of Attorney Sherman’s dedication and hard work, my son’s case was dismissed. She believed in him when it mattered most and gave him his future back. I am forever grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough.
