Ms. Abrams is the best. I have been divorced for many years and a single parent of a son with multiple disabilities. I met with Ms. Abrams and immediately knew she was the best attorney to handle my request for guardianship. She listened to our needs and ensures the guardianship process was seamless. I would high recommend Ms. Abrams if you or a family have a disability and are seeking sound legal advise and excellent services. - 9/08/2017

I can't say enough good things about Sheri. Truly one of the most competent, knowledgeable and compassionate professionals I have engaged in the area of disability legal services. A 5-Star rating seems insufficient to express how happy and satisfied I am with the assistance she provided. Thank you, Sheri. Well done! - 11/13/2016

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

Sheri represented us in our guardianship case for our son Nick. She also drew up a 3rd party special needs trust.

The entire process could not have been any easier. Sheri was able to answer all our questions and put us at ease.

I highly recommend Sheri for any and all legal needs. - 5/28/2016
