Ms. Janet Sherman, a founding partner of Sherman & Sherman, looks remarkably like a blonde Angelica Huston, who in her prime was an Oscar-winning, brilliant actress and model. And yes, that is a compliment. Having received her law degree from Western State University, she has represented defendants at the trial and appellate levels in cases as varied as white collar crime and large-scale drug offenses, including DUI cases. Ms. Sherman has handled hundreds of appeals and is known as an expert in post-conviction remedies. This Angelica look-alike is going to significantly lessen your jail time if not get you off entirely. Not only that, but she will also help you keep your stuff. She has written and spoken extensively on the topic of civil and criminal asset forfeiture. With a doctoral degree in sociology, she completed a dissertation entitled, "Guidelines for Decision-Making," which was published by DC Health as "Demystifying Parole." As an Associate Professor of Sociology at San Diego State University she taught courses in criminology and sociology of deviant behavior, penning the article "Crime and Deviance in America: A Critical Approach." Were I to take a lesson in American deviance, I would probably want a beautiful older woman to show me the way. "Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson."
