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

The legal issues associated with Special Needs Trust had concerned us for years, so we were greatly relieved to find Ms Sheri Abrams, Attorney at Law. She is a remarkably-gifted special needs attorney. She skillfully guided us through the process of completing a Special Needs Trust for our daughter. We could not have been more pleased with her work and her guidance to us going forward. Sheri fully understands the law specific to those with special needs and disabilities, and we were grateful, indeed, to find her. Our daughter is the very center of our lives, so we would not have entrusted the legal matters of her life to anyone else. We are pleased to enthusiastically recommend Ms Sheri Abrams to anyone seeking expert legal counsel for special needs and disabilities. - 6/20/2016

Wow! Sheri Abrams knows her stuff!! Sheri is knowledgeable in all areas of her practice, and she has a compassion and humble strength that is exactly what one would hope for seeking legal help. Sheri is familiar with specific diseases and issues that can cause permanent disability, knows the legal system, and listens!! Sheri is very efficient and straight forward on what needs to be done for the specific situation. Sheri has also volunteered her time, which I have attended, to share her expertise in disability and special needs. Sheri is exceptional and I could not ask for an attorney with more knowledge and understanding. I absolutely recommend Sheri Abrams, and have done so to a number of people in need. Many blessings to Sheri indeed, and to all who need her. Thank you Sheri! - 3/15/2016

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
