Start Your Diminished Value Claim

I reached out to this law firm based on the reviews and my experience was stellar. Alex handled my auto depreciation and loss of use claim diligently and professionally. I am truly satisfied with the outcome, and will use them again if I ever need to.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.
