What a blessing to have found Sharma!!

Sharma Moriarty took all of our anxiety away when decided to get our estate in order. From the moment she greeted us, to the signing of our documents, we felt so at ease and extremely thankful that our friend recommended her. Sharma is so personable and knowledgeable about laws that pertain to est...ates. Sharma and her staff are very professional, courteous, and efficient. We are very impressed with the whole process of getting our life together and truly grateful to Sharma Moriarty Law Firm.

Medicaid procurement for brother

Sharma assisted us in securing Medicaid for our brother. She clearly educated us in the requirements for this and was always available to answer questions. When we were anxious about our responsibilities and the fulfillment of them, she reassured us and gave guidance where necessary. We were extrem...ely pleased by her service to us and highly recommend her.
