Sherri Stinson, Law Offices of Sherri M. Stinson

Sherri Stinson is the owner of the Law Offices of Sherri M. Stinson, a boutique law firm focusing exclusively on estate planning, guardianship, and probate. The firm's core mission is helping clients feel valued and heard at each stage of their life. From there, the firm custom tailors estate plans to reflect each client's core values and their wishes for a strong, ever-lasting legacy. Sherri helps individuals and families take the mystique out planning for life’s worst-case scenarios of incapacity and death. Her firm also helps protect vulnerable seniors from financial exploitation and neglect.

Sherri first felt the desire to help others when she was in middle school and adopted a lowincome senior for Christmas. Sherri says "I remember the joy I felt when I brought this elderly woman a meal and Christmas presents and she was so grateful. Nobody had ever done anything like that for her before and she cried because I had helped her so much." After graduating college, Sherri helped an elderly woman who was being taken advantage of by her landlord. Sherri says "I was able to involve a consumer advocate who stopped the landlord from continuing to take advantage of her. She had a voice because I helped her. Helping others is the best feeling! I can't solve every problem someone has, but if I can somehow make their lives better, then I have fulfilled my life's purpose."

She is a Martindale-Hubbell AV-Preeminent rated attorney. This rating signifies that her peers rank her at the highest level of professional excellence for her legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards, and is achieved by only 10% of attorneys. She has served as a board member for 211 Tampa Bay Cares, the Rotary Club of Dunedin and the Clearwater Bar Association, as well as the prior chairwoman for the Clearwater Bar Probate Section. She is an active member in her church and lives in Palm Harbor with her husband, Troy and their 2 children.

Listen to this illuminating Sharkpreneur episode with Sherri Stinson about how to avoid having 12 of your most basic rights taken away.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:

- How many people think they only need estate planning if they are rich or have complicated family situations and why that isn’t true.

- Why it’s important to make estate planning decisions so the state doesn’t make them for you.

- How not having an estate plan in place can strip people of their rights.

- Why having an estate plan is voicing what you want to happen to you should you no longer be able to voice that opinion.
