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!Taylor WassellTaylor Wassell ★★★★★ Russell and his team were great throughout the duration of my case.

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.S TabanS Taban ★★★★★ 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.lei zhaolei zhao ★★★★★ 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.Paul JohnsonPaul Johnson ★★★★★ 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!dakota ackermandakota ackerman ★★★★★ 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.Frank HeldmanFrank Heldman ★★★★★ I worked with Russel Kerr on resolving a complicated issue.

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.Delilah Nina KoDelilah Nina Ko ★★★★★ My 2015 Porsche was in an accident and after it was repaired it wasn't worth as much as before.
