Sheri was able to complete my sons guardianship without a hitch, even though the birth father never responded. She was thorough & explained everything that would occur in court. There were no surprises! I highly recommend her in taking care of guardianship issues. - 4/07/2018

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

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 did a lot of research and talked to many lawyers in the Washington metro area when I was working to resolve a potentially disabling medical issue this year. Sheri was by far the most personable and articulate of all of them.
She focused on the relevant issues and did not try to sell me legal options I did not need.

Her rates are the best in the DC area for high quality professional services in elder law, estate law and disability law. Her common sense approach was really refreshing and I did not walk out of her office with more questions than I had walking in. I now feel informed and equipped with the right information and defensible tools in place for whatever the future brings.

Sheri operates out of an office building that supports a coffee and gift shop run by persons with disabilities. It creates a lively and warm hearted atmosphere and demonstates Sheri's involvement with the disabled community. Lovely person. - 8/14/2017
