“Sheri guided me through a difficult and challenging process with expertise, compassion and integrity. Would highly recommend her practice to anyone seeking to grow their family.”
Adoption Client from 2024 – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Sherri was my lawyer for the adoption of my daughter. She is very professional. Easy to talk to. Laid back. She is willing to work with a busy schedule. Easy to get ahold of. Almost everything was done via telephone and email. I only had to meet in person once. All covid precautions were practiced. Sherri was dressed presentable. She wore a mask and offered to meet outside to minimize the risk of covid spread. I highly recommend Sherri for your adoption lawyer needs.”

Adoption Client – adoption finalized November 2020
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. None of the other lawyers I called that day ever returned my calls. I thought that her fees were fair and reasonable compared to others in the area. Sheri took her time and answered many questions that we had, including informing us of some of the resources we may be able to access during the process. We highly recommend Sheri and give her an outstanding five stars!
