Sheri is fabulous! She is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and persistent! She has come to our school to speak to parents a number of times and each time I learn something new. I highly recommend her! - 4/11/2016

Sheri listened carefully to what we wanted, and explained everything clearly. We're quite happy with the results. BTW, we first worked with Sheri in 2004 to set up our wills and POAs, and she was the first person we thought of in 2016 when we decided to update them. - 4/13/2017

Ms. Abrams provided much-needed and well-organized advice concerning long-standing concerns within my family. She received a list of questions and concerns ahead of time and answered them knowledgeably and thoroughly. She was also well-prepared to answer additional questions raised during our conversation. She clearly has much knowledge and experience with all aspects of Social Security law and can speak from a frequent and diverse practice before these specialized tribunals. She set our minds at ease and gave us the necessary guidance for our next steps, in much detail. She has great communication and presentation skills, and I hope they can be utilized for further client education or even teaching purposes.

It was a pleasure meeting her, and I look forward to recommending her practice to folks in her area. Thank you, Ms. Abrams, for your service to many clients in great need of help! Your care for them is obvious. - 12/02/2018
