The Goolsby Family

Our family was worried when our mother had to go to a nursing home as we were not only concerned about her failing health but also of her life savings that would no doubt be depleted due to her stay at the nursing home. Our family met with Sharma Moriarty to assist us. Within approximately two ...months after the initial meeting, Sharma was able to have Mother on Medicaid and all of her savings were kept intact. Sharma was very professional yet easy to talk with. She was easy to contact each time we called her and answered all of our questions. We would highly recommend Sharma Moriarty to anyone who has similar concerns. The Goolsby Family: Garland, Connie, Ronnie and David.

Tireless Pursuit of Justice

The staff at Sharma Moriarty Law is a group of very caring, courteous and professional people. They work to have outstanding customer service. They treat people with respect and have their client's best interests in mind. I've hired four law firms in the past ten years and this is the first time I ...was given the private telephone number of my counsel. When you challenge a government make certain you are well represented. When you hire this firm you know you will be in good hands.

Sharma Moriarty

Sharma Moriarty, Medicaid and Medicare administrative law, probate was a Godsend for our family. Our father was able to have peace after meeting with Sharma over a year ago, she helped us navigate getting their affairs in order and to ensure that if and when Medicaid was needed for our moms care or h...is, that every detail was covered. Sharma was not only an expert in her field, but also showed great concern and empathy with every call and question our Dad or we had. Sadly our Dad passed away, the affairs of our mom's care was made easier because of the planning Sharma provided. We will be forever grateful, thankful and blessed, because of the estate planning she gave. She is passionate about her work, and genuinely cares for her clients. The family of Jim and Jackie Hutton, Mark, Marla, Lisa and Nancy
