Sheri Really Knows Her Stuff!!! Just when I was ready to give up I met Sheri. She just took over my case and we won. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a good Disability Lawyer - 3/24/2016

My Social Security Disability case had gone through the appeal process and had been denied. Now it was time to go before the judge. As always, everyone said, "No worries, you have a great case; you don't need a lawyer." Yeah right. My health issues were getting worse and the added stress was not helping. A friend of mine recommended talking to Sheri R. Abrams. Check her out you have nothing to lose. Best thing I ever did. She put me at ease. Took over my case and supported me right through the hearing. Guess what? We won!!! Thanks again Sheri and staff for all your support. - 3/10/2018

Ms. Abrams is wonderful! kind, thoughtful, and understanding. She worked very hard for me so that, in spite of my difficult physiological conditions, I was approved for Social Security Security Disability Benefits without appearing at a hearing. A hearing would would have resulted in an extremely high level of panic and discomfort for me. On a scale of one to ten, she earns the highest rating. W. Christie Ms. Abrams was a pleasure to work with through the difficult process of obtaining benefits for our son. She is a master of the process itself, and is also a master of customer service. My husband and I recommend her without reservation. - 2/17/2016

We were relieved to have found such a caring, knowledgeable, patient and experienced attorney to guide us through the SSDI process. Sheri walked us through each step, patiently explaining the process (sometimes over and over and over to us). We are happy that Sheri had no problem telling us like it is and shows genuine concern. We highly recommend Sheri. - 11/30/2016

Sheri Abrams did an excellent job for my brother and I in developing our our estate planning documents. She was very thorough in leading us through the various decisions that need to be made, particularly the "what if" scenario's that may occur as we age. Documents she prepared for us were our wills; power of attorney; medical power of attorney; medical directive; etc. These documents were done in timely manner; and she explained who needs copies. We left assured that she will be there should we have any questions or need future legal advice or guidance. It is nice to know you have professional like Sheri on your side! I would recommend her to anyone getting their estate planning documents prepared. - 7/16/2016
