Competent and Approachable

Words cannot express how truly grateful I am to have had the experience of meeting Shari. She is extremely knowledgable, professional, and, most of all, she shows a genuine willingness to help her clients. I requested her contract review services and was thoroughly impressed with her proficiency. Her... dedication to helping her clients is reflected in how informative and comprehensive her advice is; you will learn so much from her. I definitely will be using her services again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a competent and approachable attorney.

Exceeding Expectations

Mrs. Fleming is one of the most thorough, profound, and diligent lawyers I know. While she is extremely professional at all times, she brings a genuine and caring nature that makes her clients feel like she is passionate about helping them getting their needs met. I respect her honestly and direct ...approach which makes her clients also trust her judgement. I would recommend Mrs. Fleming to anyone who needed an attorney.

Attorney

There are many attorneys who claim they understand the relevant laws and regulations related to services for the developmentally disabled, but after speaking to many attorneys, it is clear that the majority of these attorneys only know one specific entitlement program, i.e., SSI/SSDI, ADA, IDEA, etc.... In contrast, as a former attorney for the Maryland Disability Law Center, Shari is very familiar with the full array of both State and Federal services/entitlements available to children and adults with special needs. This was the critical factor for me in choosing to retain Shari, and to recommend her to the community of families' with special needs family members. Shari was thorough in explaining the relevant programs, as well as the realistic options for our unique situation. I would highly recommend Shari to anyone needing to navigate the complex universe of entitlements.

Savior

I don't know what I would have done without her! She was more than a realtor, she was my savior! She stayed through the entire process, from beginning to end, making sure EVERYTHING was perfect! She has so much knowledge and experience! I would definitely be using her for ALL of my real estate needs...!!! I would give 10 stars, if they were available!!!

The World's BEST Lawyer, hands down!!!

Mrs. Fleming took on my sons case when she worked with the Maryland Disability Law Center. I was fighting with the State Department of Health and Human Services over reduced skilled nursing hours for my totally dependent son. I had already attended and lost a primary hearing with a hearing officer co...ncerning the matter and Ms. Fleming took on the appeal. She carried it all the way through to the Circuit Court level. Ms. Fleming was a God-send! She was extremely professional and knowledgeable. She kept us informed every step of the process. She was quite patient in explaining to us all the intricacies of the process. What impressed me most was her caring. She worked with us as if he was HER child. She was a fighter for his rights and being a officer of the court I know that her professionalism and zeal impressed the judge. When I remember the experience we had fighting for the restoration of my son's nursing hours I recall a year of sleeping on a futon so that I could watch him through the night and then having to work all day. I remember being stressed and extremely tired attempting to juggle my work and the welfare of my son. Ms. Fleming saw and understood what I was going through and treated us with empathy and caring to a degree not commonly found. Ms. Fleming is a person first, and lawyer of the utmost caliber. I will ever be grateful for having been blessed with meeting her and no matter where she goes if ever I need a lawyer to fight for me she will always be my first choice. May God always bless and keep her and her family.
