Personal Injury Attorneys

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

My 2015 Porsche was in an accident and after it was repaired it wasn't worth as much as before. The insurance company said I couldn't recover for the diminished value. I hired Mr. Kerr and he helped me recover the value that my car lost in value.
