I contacted Sheri after my disability application was denied and it was time to appeal.
From the onset, it was clear this is not her first rodeo. She is all business at first meeting -- I encourage you to take this as evidence of Sheri's long experience and excellent track record.
Sheri ALWAYS returned my calls, she communicated clearly and made sure I understood what was going on. It was easy to forget that she has many other clients with the same worries and anxiety. - 10/16/2017
