Absolutely great. Kevin helped me get on the NYPD, can't thank him enough. I've recommended him several people who were in my shoes. G. Montero

Mr. Sheerin and his staff were a great help in helping me get my disqualification reversed. He kept me updated in every step over the process.  His law clerk Maria was also very helpful in the preparation process of my documents.  Some law firms just take your money and tell you hope for the best but not the law offices of Kevin P. Sheerin.  I would recommend anyone without hesitation, who has a disqualification for any civil service position to hire him.  He gets results!!!!!!!! C. Canada

I was referred to hire Kevin Sheerin to help me appeal my civil service disqualification from Correction Department.  Sheerin's legal expertise and advice helped me to win my appeal without me having to even testify.

I finally received a response letter for my appeal from the agency I applied to and I'm happy to say that they ruled in my favor.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DISQUALIFICATION REVIEWS

Kevin Sheerin and Dr. Robert Daley helped me win my appeal. Hands down the best people to go thru this every step of the way.  They know exactly what to do and how to do it to get positive outcome. FIVE STARS all the way. A.G.

Kevin Sheerin really helped me out with my appeal he guided me toward actually overturning my appeal with the help he gave me, and because of that help (as of writing this review) I am on my way to following my career as a police officer.

Kevin Sheerin is extremely knowledgeable about the entire appeal process and because of that it makes him the perfect person to speak with if you find yourself with that dreaded NOPD letter. If you find yourself in that situation give him a call.

Kevin helped me get my disqualification reversed after a second interview. A. Leddy

First, I’d like to thank Kevin Sheerin. When I received my NOPD by none other than the NYPD, back in 2018 I looked for help. I tried contacting other lawyers for this field of DQs and none got back to me. Then I saw and read Mr. Sheerin’s reviews and called him. His staff immediately picked up and got me a meeting with him the following week. We spoke and I explained to him what happened through my process and he was well aware since he was a lieutenant with the NYPD and handled many civil services law issues like disqualifications. The price was right and recommended me to see an outside psychologist who again helped me overturn the process. This may be a lengthy process but I 100% recommend using Mr. Sheerin as I have referred some of my friends who’ve gotten disqualified by the NYPD. My case was overturned and was asked to go back to get another psych evaluation and about a month later was asked to start my process again from where I had left off. I ended up turning my case down simply because I was in another academy and I am now working for the United States Capitol Police as a federal officer in DC. So, one door may have closed but many more opened and I truly believe I am here because of Mr. Sheerin’s help and dedication to what he does! Thank you!! I would not hesitate, and he will be honest with you about your case! Good luck to everyone who’s been disqualified and trust me, it’s not the end of the world as you can where I ended up!

I was disqualified and got a second interview and prepared with Kevin Sheerin in his office and my disqualification was reversed.

If you are looking for answers and guidance regarding any Civil service job disqualification, I highly recommend Mr. Sheerin. He is a highly capable and honest attorney who counts with a great staff and reliable resources to solve your case. It is worth to meeting him, because you will learn about every step in the appealing process. So, if you really want to fight back a NOD, hire Mr. Kevin Sheerin as your attorney to get a new opportunity to pursue your career. Btw, Money won’t be a problem, he is very conscious regarding his service charge. Mr. Sheerin, you are very knowledgeable, patient, and reliable. Thank you for the time and dedication you have for people who is looking for answers and guidance like me.

Kevin Sheerin has been professional, courteous, and patient.  I had an issue with my business and Kevin took the time to help me understand the law and guide me through the difficult procedures to make informed decisions about my case--a true Gentleman.  I would recommend Kevin Sheerin to anyone who needs an experienced professional.

I contacted Mr. Kevin regarding my NOPD case, and an appointment was immediately booked. The office of Mr. Kevin worked with me very fine. Mr. Kevin was very professional and beyond to provide more explanation and understanding to me.

I will definitely recommend Law Offices of Kevin P. Sheerin to my relatives and anyone who wishes to. Thank you, Mr. Kevin,

I have received a NOPD from the NYPD and decided to hire Mr. Sheerin to help assist me in my appeal process and just wanted to leave an honest review for other people who have doubts and might need to hire Mr. Sheerin. From the first time I sat down with him I could tell he was genuine in helping me and not because he just wanted the money which to me personally meant a lot. The reason I hired him and not another lawyer was his honesty. He personally stayed on top of my case and the deadlines and guided me through it from day one. My case is now over, and I am very happy that I decided to use Mr. Sheerin services. I had a very positive experience with Mr. Sheerin and also feel that had it been another lawyer it would not be such a positive experience. If anyone is reading this and has questions, feel free to ask me. My conclusion is that I highly recommend Kevin Sheerin to people who are having doubts in their appeals.

I went to Mr. Sheerin after being notified of a proposed disqualification from a city job. Once we started talking, I knew that he was very knowledgeable of the situation I was dealing with. Less than a month after hiring Mr. Sheerin and submitting my appeal I received a letter stating I had won my appeal. If you need a lawyer for a civil service case the law office of Mr. Kevin Sheerin is the way to go.

I met with Kevin in September 2015. When I first met him, I am sure that he saw that I was feeling down and out. I had just received my disqualification from a law enforcement agency I had applied to. I explained my concerns and frustrations to Kevin regarding my disqualification. He assured me that he would do his best to help me with my case and then two months later I received notice stating that my disqualification has been reversed and that I'm clear to continue and in just a few weeks I'll be graduating.  I couldn't have asked for any better help with this matter such as the help I received from Kevin. I recommend him to the next. Thank you, Kevin. Adrian C.

I received a NOPD from Department of Correction after being on psych hold for a whole year. Mr. Sheerin helped me out in less than 6 months I was given a second oral psych and he continuously kept in touch with the department and informed me of the status. Decision was reversed, Very helpful law firm at a reasonable price. A year after he starts helping me with my appeal against NYPD Psychological NOPD and NOD we then take it to the civil service commission for hearing Kevin Sheerin and DR. Marc Janoson, PH.D both testified at the hearing gave their 100% at the hearing and a few weeks after I received the notice that my disqualification had been reversed. The communication is always on point just a call or email away. Will review facts and discuss with you.

Thank you for your help Mr. Sheerin and your staff, I can’t express how thankful I am for all your help throughout these two processes. Charlie Garcia

I was placed under the dreaded psych review for over a year before receiving a proposed disqualification letter.  I went straight to Mr. Sheerin, and his staff were more than understanding, helpful and courteous. He even worked out a payment plan for me.  After he put together my appeal, I was given a second psych interview and then taken off review to continue my process in a career in law enforcement.  None of this would have been accomplished without his expert knowledge in fighting civil service disqualifications. Anyone who has been on psych review knows how hard it is to overcome.  To be able to do so in such a short period of time speaks great lengths. I highly recommend Mr. Sheerin. D. Basdeo

Mr. Sheerin has helped me throughout my appeal process. Very respectful and knowledgeable lawyer.

A very down to earth law firm and the associates are easy to speak to. They were honest and helpful, and I overall had a great experience working with them.

After doing research on who can help my case from being wrongfully disqualified by the NYPD, I came across Kevin Sheerin and his team. Needless to say, it was the best decision, he really took the time to handle the case and was there every step of the way. Whenever I needed him for anything in particular to the case, he was always a phone call away. Thanks to Kevin, he was able to help beat this case and now I’m back on track to pursuing this as a career. Thank you again Kevin from the bottom of my heart! Freddy Gongalez.

EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION DISQUALIFICATION REVIEWS

On April 25th, 2018 I received a letter of disapproval/denial of a Firearm from the NYPD based on my "background". Incidents which occurred 13 and 15 years during my youth. On April 26th, 2018 I went to meet with Mr. Sheerin producing all my documents where Mr. Sheerin advised me of the process and approach we would be taking. Mr. Sheerin was straight forward and honest regardless if I liked or disliked his responses which was the reason why I retained him.  On April 27th, 2018 Mr. Sheerin notified me of exactly what he needed on my part. Later that day I provided all documents which were requested. On May 17th, 2018 Mr. Sheerin drafted up a letter of appeal regarding my eight incidents. After approving the document to be corrected and factual I approved this letter of appeal to be sent where Mr. Sheerin sent out the letter o. May 18th, 2018. Mr. Sheerin advised me that there weren't any guarantees to my case going well did explain the positives and negatives which my influence a good or bad decision. At times Mr. Sheerin was slightly difficult to get updates from but his assistant was very helpful and always provided comfort assuring me Mr. Sheerin was hard at work. Eventually Mr. Sheerin would contact me with updates advising me who he spoke to from the NYPD appeals unit where I would keep my employer informed of the status regarding my appeal. Me and Mr. Sheerin were continuously in contact via Email throughout this appeal. On November 27th, 2018 I was contacted by Mr. Sheerin advising me he received a Notice of Approval After Appeal on me behalf meaning they overturn the disapproval which was awesome. Overall Mr. Sheerin was awesome, not only because he achieved a positive result but because his guidance was comforting and honest. Simply the submitting of the letter from Mr. Sheerin's office strongly influenced a positive outcome. Thank you for all of your help Mr. Sheerin. James Frye

Mr. Sheerin represented me on a DCAS exam DQ and we were successful.  His office took care of everything and answered all my questions.

When I was given notice that I was being eliminated from the hiring process of my current job, I went to Sheerin Law for help.  Kevin Sheerin and his staff were more than helpful and understanding of my circumstances. I had already been told I had been hired and that I was start the academy within the next week, but then the rug was pulled out from under me when I was informed that I was being eliminated from the list under entirely ridiculous pretenses.  Despite the fact I needed his legal help within the next few days and that I came to him on a Friday, Mr. Sheerin was more than willing to work over the weekend, and help me put together an undeniable appeal to the civil service. Mr. Sheerin realized that the impending decision on my appeal carried incredible weight involving my immediate future and really the rest of my life. His diligence over the finest details of my appeal, ultimately lead to me being put back on the list for my class.  I highly recommend that if you are ever in a similar situation as I was, that you look towards Mr. Sheerin for help. It was worth every penny to get myself on the job.  I am now set for the rest of my life because of Kevin Sheerin and his staff and I couldn't be more grateful. Ryan M.
