As a foster parent who is in the process of adopting from the public foster care system, I needed an attorney to review some important legal documents and Sheri came highly recommended from the daughter and daughters neighbor of a colleague. Sheri picked up the phone on my first call and was pleasant, helpful, and compassionate.
