Wonderful service! I started the process of obtaining legal guardianship of my mentally retarded brother last summer. The first lawyer I hired forgot about me, so I fired him. Went to the ARC website and found Ms. Abrams. She made everything so easy, working over the phone and email (since I live out in Warren County). Fee was set, so nothing to worry about later. She answered my questions almost immediately. Ms. Abrams made everything easy for me, especially since my Dad passed shortly before our court date. My brother & I showed up at court, met Ms. Abrams for the first time! Went into court, judge granted guardianship, We said "Thank You, Your Honor" without having to explain anything, then over to the probate office quickly, and we were out of there! Don't look elsewhere - Hire Sheri Abrams! She also has a GREAT website, with lots of very helpful articles. - 5/01/2019

Sheri was very helpful in explaining my options in creating a special needs trust for my son. The result protects my son's financial resources in a way I could not have anticipated without her assistance. She offered to answer any questions that might arise even though the trust has been finalized. - 9/09/2018

Sheri's expertise was invaluable in providing a special needs trust tailored to the specific requirements of our daughter. Her highly personalized guidance for our requirements was particularly appreciated, as was her compassion and advice beyond preparation of the actual document. Highly recommended. - 11/04/2018

Sheri Abrams did an excellent job in preparing our Last Will and Testament along with the (5) other associated documents and directives. My wife and I were very pleased with her legal advise and personal recommendations for additions actions we may want to take to reduce the tasks our children will be expected to carry out at our deaths. Thank you Sheri and Ashley. God bless you both. - 12/05/2018
