Among the best Trust & Estate Attorneys

I have retained (and continued to retain) Sheri & her office as my attorney for over 8 years in my capacity as a professional trustee, conservator, attorney in fact, agent, administrator and partition referee. She is very knowledgeable in all probate areas but more so than others specifically in the ...areas of Medi-Cal & third party Special Needs Trusts. I would highly recommend her as counsel.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Sheri is one of the premier conservatorship attorneys in Santa Clara County. There are few attorneys that can rival Sheri's knowledge and expertise. I have worked with Sheri for many years as a volunteer for our local Bar Association and observed her during court appearances. Witnessing her demonstrable expertise, I asked that she take over representation of a particularly difficult conservatee. Sheri stepped in, and to the delight of the conservatee's parents, the conservatorship has been running smoothly ever since."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
