Recover Full & Fair
Compensation for Your Losses

Russel was really helpful and knowledgeable! He has guided us in the right direction made the process easier. I would recommend definitely recommend them.

Highly recommend Jeff Sheldon who went above and beyond for us. He is very responsive and easy to connect with, giving us the peace of mind knowing we have in him an advocate.

I reached out to Kerr & Sheldon for some information on how to file a diminished value claim. Russell was extremely helpful in providing me with resources to get me started and continued to answer my questions through the process. Not only did he provide references for appraisers he also provided me with useful resources in case I need to settle my dispute in small claims. He did all of this at not charge. Due to my claim not exceeding the amount that can be settled in small claims court, he was unable to represent me for my case. Knowing this, Russell still made the time provide me with very useful information and help me navigate a stressful process of going back and forth with the insurance company and getting low balled on a settlement. I figure if they are this helpful free of charge, they will surely fight for their clients.

Russell provided detailed free consultation on my diminished value claim. Great service!

Cannot say enough good things about K&S, and primarily Alex Kerr. Alex took my call, answered all of my questions, provided documentation to help me even further, told me I could call back with questions, and did it all with kindness and humanity. If you need legal assistance, put the mouse down and call Kerr & Sheldon.

A letter from my mother, who Jeffrey and his team helped win her case:

Dear Atty Sheldon and law firm staff:
I am writing to Thank you and your entire law firm for all of your hard work handling my case. Throughout the time you worked on my accident, everyone at your law firm was kind, patient, and supportive. I am grateful for the professionalism and excellent job working on my case. It’s been a pleasure working with you. Thank you very much. I hope you and your team took a well deserved break after we won the case.
God bless.

Russ exceeded my expectations regarding my diminished value claim and preparing me for my small claims court case. He was extremely helpful and...

Called this morning to discuss a possible claim, received a call back the same day. I believe I spoke to Russell, who took the time to talk me through my options and gave me solid advice and next steps even though it didn't make sense to use their services. Would definitely call them in the future if I had another potential case.

My first time being involved in a vehicle collision I quickly learned that I was completely unfamiliar with the process and the many complications that came along with it. I was extremely fortunate to be recommended by a family member to Mr. Russ Kerr who has assisted and guided me in navigating each step of the way. Mr. Russ and his team have been patient, reassuring, answered all my questions, and always kept in communication with updates throughout this lengthy and tedious process. I would happily recommend him to family or friends if the need were to ever arise!

Jeff Sheldon is an exceptional personal injury attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone who has had the misfortune of getting into an accident and being injured.

Throughout the entire process, his meticulous attention to detail has been extremely helpful with my case. It's evident that he leaves no stone unturned, ensuring that every aspect of your case is thoroughly examined.

What truly stands out is Mr. Sheldon's remarkable patience. Dealing with legal matters can be a complex and lengthy journey, and his ability to navigate it with a calm and composed demeanor is truly commendable. He takes the time to explain intricacies, address concerns, and patiently guide clients through each step.

Thank you, Jeff, for your wonderful representation in my case and your tireless dedication. Your genuine compassion is truly appreciated.

First impressions are your last impressions when you meet someone for the first time. In my case was seeking a firm to represent me in a diminished value...

I just received my settlement letter, and I could not be more pleased with my auto accident outcome. I trust this law office and I would recommend them to anyone who is going through any motor vehicle accident.

I appreciate the professional guidance on the diminished value claim against state farm.

Success leaves clues, and it’s no surprise that Russell Kerr is so highly spoken of and recommended. My case is too small for him to take it on, but right after my initial phone call he took the time to write me an email. He has included helpful tips and bits of advise and guidance.
This level of responsiveness, care, and professionalism is an extremely rare find these days. I'm deeply grateful to Russell, and wish him and his practice tremendous success. I'll be recommending him to everyone I know.

Russel Kerr was extremely helpful. Went above and beyond what was required to assist me in my situation and considered all factors affecting my case. I greatly appreciate his time and experience that he shared with me and highly recommend his services.

Mr. Kerr was kind enough to provide some good legal guidance to me as I navigated a diminished value car situation for which I have little personal experience with. I greatly appreciate his time and his clear and helpful explanations!!

Russell has gone above and beyond to take care of me & my loss of use claim for my Ferrari. He has stayed on top of everything & has followed up multiple times with me to make sure that I was doing my part. He has done an amazing job to get this case settled for me, and I would greatly recommend him & his law office to EVERYONE!!! Thank you Russell You're the best!

Atty Russell Kerr, Jr. had negotiated a fair accident settlement agreement with the opposing counsel. I highly recommend this law firm for reasonable legal fees and efficient services.

I received referral from a friend after inquiring with different firms and Kerr & Sheldon Law office did not disappoint. This was my first auto claim and Mr. Kerr was very thorough in the process and informative with any questions I had. The team as a whole was quick and responsive keeping detail and timeline on everything. It was a stress-free process and I am satisfied with the settlement.

The best in the west! Russel S and his staff were very outstanding and meticulous with my DVC/LOU claim. He was able to file and get the result a couple of...

I am thankful that Kerr & Sheldon was recommended to me by my family chiropractor. She treats me like family and I knew I could trust her judgement.

From what was an extremely traumatic traffic accident that left me shocked, stressed, and emotionally shaken; Kerr & Sheldon took charge with the intricacies of dealing with the aftermath. I was able to focus on my healing, mentally and physically, while they took care of the rest. They were very clear the whole process in communicating with me and made sure to go above and beyond to help me get the best services I needed in repairs (car & myself).

I’d also like to give a personal thank you to the receptionist I spoke with who prayed for my dog when she was very ill. Even though my stress and sadness of a sick pet was not their responsibility , she took the time to be there for me and help lift me up in the added stress of a motor accident. Unfortunately my poor baby passed away in April, I will never forget the prayer I received through the phone and the kindness and love I was given. That reflects on the whole team and I’m happy I decided to put my trust in them. Thank you!

Russell and his team were great throughout the duration of my case. They communicated well and coached me through the processes. I'll be coming back to this law firm if I ever need to! Thx team.

Highly recommend Russell Kerr. He helped me to get our planned Diminished Value and Loss of Use claim. If you need such a service, he will be your choice.

Mr. Russell Kerr was very thorough with our case. Communication was informative and easy to understand. We were kept in the loop through the entire process. My husband and I would definitely recommend him and his firm. Linda & Mark Britton

Russell Kerr was a God-sent he walked us through the step by step process and always communicated with us in regards to what was going on in our case. This couldn’t have been more simple or a more pleasant experience. Would 10/10 recommend.

Russ has done great work for me related to my property damage claim and I'm very happy with the final outcome. His knowledge of auto claims and insurance contract terms was particularly helpful in my case, realizing value that I would not have thought was possible. And he accomplished this in a very short timescale too. I strongly recommend Russ for others who are seeking help with automobile property damage.

Russ and his team were very quick to respond and answered all my questions regarding my diminished value claim. Although my diminished value damages were...

Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and delivered a great outcome.

Russell helped me with a difficult claim situation and was responsive and helpful the whole way. Thank you!

Great attorney that always responds and treats you like family! This is my second experience with them and I highly recommend them.

Russel Kerr is an awesome attorney that assisted me in a California diminished value / loss of value claim for my corvette. He answered all my questions and made sure to be concise and made me feel confident in the entire process A to Z. I’d recommend anyone to him without a doubt. Thank you again!

I was rear-ended by a semi-truck in the summer 2022 and my car was totaled. Breanna, at Kerr & Sheldon really stream-lined the process dealing with insurance. I was getting so frustrated but she was able to solve all my problems. When it came to my wellbeing, I primarily worked with Russel Kerr, and he went above and beyond, helping me find a chiropractor and getting the attention I needed on a lien. Not to mention the fact that they were always available for me to reach out and contact them for any of my questions. Thank you so much!!

I was referred to Kerr and Sheldon by a family friend for my personal injury case. They did an excellent job with helping me get medical care, answering any questions I had and helping get my case sorted out as quickly as possible. They even sent a Christmas card to my family which was a nice personal touch.

Very helpful law firm. Even though they could not help me in my diminished value claim, they gave me free instructions as to filing in small claims court.

Russell provided me with comprehensive resources and guidance. Very helpful compared to others I have connected with. I will keep his contact if I ever need services again in the future. Very pleasant correspondence.

Russell Kerr was an excellent advocate for my claim! His knowledge of the law, his professionalism and guidance were the reasons why we were successful in my case. I highly recommend this firm!

It was a pleasure working with Russ and the entire Kerr & Sheldon team. There was great transparency and communication throughout the process and I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any loss of use or diminished value claims.

Russ is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and has always been timely in clearing all my questions and guiding and assisting me in order to reach my objectives. Very easy to work with and I highly recommend him.

Our 4-day old motorhome was hit by a drunk driver and had over $10,000 in repairs. Luckily the driver was insured and we received payment for those repairs....

Great experience contacting Russell Kerr in regards to my DV LOU claim. Very professional and would definitely recommend.

Great law office. very respectful and friendly. gave me ton of valuables Information about a diminished value claim while I'm not even his client. My personal injury attorney office was not willing to help with the diminish value claim, however Mr. Russ, who I found his website on google didn't hesitate to guide me with tremendous amount of information about how to proceed with my claim. Thank you very much... very recommended.

I found Mr. Kerr while searching for an attorney for loss of value. Our car was brand new and I got hit hard by another car. Luckily I wasn’t hurt, but it was frustrating that our brand new car wasn’t worth the same anymore because of this accident and it would be harder to sell. Other law firms I called almost hung up on me as soon as they heard that there were no injuries. They advertised Loss of Value, but would only consider a case if there were serious enough injuries. When I contacted Mr. Kerr he was so incredibly helpful. The car was only partially damaged and repairable, so this was not a case for an attorney. Nevertheless Mr. Kerr helped me so much, from giving references for appraisers, to guidance on how to proceed and explanations of how loss of value works.
I hardly ever post reviews, but he was so amazing and responded quickly and thoroughly to all my emails and all my questions even though I wasn’t a client that I wanted to let people know.
Hopefully I don’t get into another accident, but should I ever need an attorney for an accident, I will definitely contact Mr. Kerr as an actual client. In the meantime I am very grateful for all the help and advice he gave me.

I' m in trouble in a DV claim, and I have no ideal about how to move forward, even my claim is reasonable cause some cases have show I deserve that. The option or recommendation and information from Kerr & Sheldon are quite helpful and efficient, such as DV appraisal and jury instruction etc.

Russell Kerr and the team have successfully and for me painlessly recovered property damage and GREAT settlements in both of 2 Motorcycle Injury Accident cases where I was the victim. In both cases they acted very firm with the other parties insurance company and controlled the situation very well. They were also very successful in negotiating down the medical bills to be disbursed from the settlement to less than half of what was initially owed translating to more money in my pocket! From the beginning, to deposition (in first case 10 years ago), and through negotiations, they were extremely impressive and get a 10/10 from me. They get my endorsement!

Kerr & Sheldon did a great job for me even through the corona virus epidemic. The attorneys responded ASAP to every question I had and got results in my case that I am happy with.

Russ addressed concerns I didnt even know I had. Very helpful. Thank you for your time and expertise!

I would definitely recommend Kerr & Sheldon attorneys, Russell was super helpful with my Auto claim and He not only provided me the info required, but also guided where to go and how to proceed, He was very professional and knows the stuff.

I have found Russell to be very helpful when I recently contacted him. He very kindly provided me with excellent free advice. I recommend anybody who requires a personal injury attorney to contact him.

Fortunate to find Kerr & Sheldon. I had a diminished value case from an accidnet that was not my fault. The at fault insurance said they would not pay diminished value. I called many firms and no one would take the case. Finally I was refered to Russel Kerr, who was well versed in this type of case and was able to get the insurance company to settle for an acceptable amount. I would highly recomend using Kerr & Sheldon for your legal needs! I appreciate all the help.

Nice guy realy good job

🌟🌟🌟Kerr & Sheldon🌟🌟🌟

Have to be Orange County's (if not California's!) #1 most professional, educated, dependable and successful Law Firm for the public and for it's community. 🥇

Here is my story and confirmation.

Last August, while riding my bicycle home from work, the usual route taken through south Costa Mesa, i was Struck by a Motor vehicle. Luckily and most importantly im here alive to share. That is exactly the big picture. An outcome, in which my assigned attorney Geoff Rill had reminded me, with comfort since Day 1 from our very first conversation over the phone. I am alive and survived with only minor injuries. The evening of my accident, my body was in so much shock, along with the painful abrasions to my knee and contusion to my forearm, there was a substantial amount of adrenaline running through my body still causing me plenty of confusion and uncertainty of "What Do I Do Now?"

Now, revisiting that day of my accident, im realizing just how lucky and how much gratitude i hold for my good friend who referred me to the law offices of Kerr & Sheldon. If it weren't for that advice, there is No doubt that i would still be managing pain from the accident and without reimbursement or transportation. In hopes, by writing this more victims or even if those are personally considered being the possibility of one in an accident, they will reach out Here(K&S) with confidence.

Sir Geoff Rill, forever in debt for this gentleman's services. Initially, when first speaking with him, i felt more as though i was speaking to a family member. I remember being over excited with emotion, both the feeling of gratefulness for still being here on earth.. and some of anger and disbelief for the man who'd hit me with his vehicle. He brought me a sense of peacefulness, calamity and the reassurance that i was and will be just fine and there is nothing for me to be concerned about. Not one thing. .....He was right.

The days following my accident and the phone call to Geoff, continued on seamlessly smoothly and without worry. He and his team at K&S were extremely supportive and accommodating. My bike was totaled. It was a quality bicycle with more value than i had estimated. Before i had time to inquire about a possible replacement, himself and an office assistant had already assured me that the insurance would cover my cost. It did. To my appreciative surprise a check with a generous sum(k's) swiftly arrived in my mailbox. Couldn't have taken them more than a few weeks. Along with my loss damages check, was also the refund for All of the Uber rides and receipts i had incurred during those weeks for work, doctor visits etc. It was all taken care of. We kept in touch naturally, a delighted phone call from Geoff to see how all of the tests, procedures and doctor visits had been going during the weeks was not uncommon. He Cared. That was paramount for myself. He genuinely took the time, always understanding of my time during those calls, just to ask "Hey! how're you feeling?" and had the patience to listen, understand and always giving advice that had made so much sense to my confusion. It Helped. He helped. They helped.
In guidance and at a comfort level i could have never imagined existed.

Concluding my case in the following short few months. It was a bond, in which him and the team at Kerr & Sheldon produced with myself and the medical staff handling my health improvement from the accident, that really proved to me that they are The Best Legal team in OC. Within i'd say, 90 days from the accident i had received the loss/damages check for property and then a 2nd much larger check(+10K total) for all losses including medical was received. He went above and beyond my expectations to insure every cent of cost was payed for... and much more. If you've been involved, a victim of or just unsure of the accident involved in.. i would highly, i mean Highly Recommend, giving the pleasant team of people over at Kerr & Sheldon a call. Thank you again for the diligence while i was able to heal and focus on my personal life.

I would recomend you guys to everybody's, you had always been very helpful and we got the best settlement,thank you so much Jeff Sheldon.

I worked with Russel Kerr on resolving a complicated issue. His approach to a resolution was swift, fair and equitable. I highly recommend using this firm for resolving any issues regarding diminished value and recovering actual costs -

Very well done, thank you Russel to you and your team!

Extremely professional and truly care about their clients. They always return calls promptly. Highly recommend. If you need help, they will not disappoint you. They were very helpful in my case

Great group. I worked directly with Russell Kerr. Did exactly what they said and thensome. Was available to advise on any situation and properly guide me during the case to have a successful settlement. Their network of Doctors are great and the whole process was streamlined. All you had to do was tell them what you want and expected and they would advise accordingly and connect you with the proper specialist. Everything was handled through their network. From dealing with insurance companies paying the medical offices through their lien program and final proceeds. They even work hard to make sure the medical bills are reasonable. Highly recomend.
