I was referred to Russ by a coworker who had an excellent experience with him during their own time of misfortune, and I am so glad I took that recommendation.

From the very start, Russ was incredibly detailed, walking me through every step of the process. His responsiveness, care, and professionalism were evident throughout my entire case. He was always clear in his communication and managed my expectations realistically, which I greatly appreciated.

Most importantly, he turned a frustrating situation into the best possible outcome. I felt well-represented and confident in his advice from beginning to end.

I highly recommend Russ to anyone needing a personal injury attorney who is both skilled and truly cares about his clients.
I used Kerr & Sheldon after someone hit my 2023 BMW M3. I was pretty upset due to the loss of value and loss of use after the car was at the body shop for a couple months. They have been really good at teaching me about how the process works and the communication during the whole process was really good. They just let me know today that my diminished value check will be sent out to me within the next week. If you need to file a diminished value claim, they are the right firm to go to ! Thanks for your service, I definitely couldn"t have done it without them.

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!

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.

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

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 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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

Russell Kerr was fantastic in helping me all the way through my diminished value case against Geico insurance. He answered every one of my E-mail questions, recommended an appraiser for me, sent me copies of the jury instructions and law regarding DV and generally continued to advise me all the way through a very difficult and arduous procedure. He  is a real pro and I would gladly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.”

Russell successfully handled my diminished value case recovering 50k in compensation by settlement. It was a pleasure working with him.”

Fortunate to find Kerr & Sheldon. I had a diminished value case from an accident 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 referred 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 recommend using Kerr & Sheldon for your legal needs! I appreciate all the help.”
