Sheri and team developed two Special Needs Trusts for me, and answered many questions along the way. The process was informative, and very timely. I'd recommend to anyone needing a SNT to work with Sheri, as her depth of knowledge on the subject is most impressive. - 8/09/2019

Sheri recently created a Special Needs Trust for my handicapped brother. I could have gone to a lot of lawyers, but I’m glad I chose Sheri. She took the time to listen to my brother’s story so she could better shape the Trust. I would definitely work with her again. She actually gives lawyers a good name…. - 10/13/2017

Sheri was very helpful in explaining my options in creating a special needs trust for my son. The result protects my son's financial resources in a way I could not have anticipated without her assistance. She offered to answer any questions that might arise even though the trust has been finalized. - 9/09/2018
